Been a lurker 'round here for a couple years, as I've had my ol' LA135 LE for a few years & have always found good answers to tech issues on the site.

Decided to finally sign-up last month when I was actively looking for a snow blower or blade, & a snow cab.

Bought this snow blower locally, it was a few years old, but I don't think it had been used but once or twice. $400 on Craigslist!

Was searchin' for a Deere Snow Cab, but **** they're costly.
Ended up findin' this new-in-box multi-fit unit on Craigslist also & picked it up thru KC, MO area a couple weeks ago.

I used the blower a few weeks ago when we had about 5" & had so much fun movin' snow I did all 6 driveways in the cul-de-sac! (Without the cab tho.)

Now that I'm all set-up, ..., it's 50-degrees & no snow! :dunno:

Yea, I look like a fat-azz in the cab, but it's not a large mower either, ..., but works great for our little urban location! :fing32:

How long did it take you to make your decision to buy the blower for only 400?

Great machine setup for the money. My wife would probably let me bring my JD into the kitchen if I had saved the same amount of money as you.

Great looking setup and you'll enjoy that cab once you get to use it. Should you decide that cab isn't big enough for you then get a Berco Universal cab and have plenty of room. slkpk

Yea, he had it listed for $600 for a couple weeks & no one picked it up, so I made an offer & he accepted! I went & met him immediately & hauled it away.

I actually sat in it there for the photo & did the mock-up.
When I did the final install, I actually lifted it about 3".
I'm only 5'10", but my head was rubbing on the ceiling beforehand.
So now there's plenty of clearance.

Now, I won't complain, but the forecast for the week in central Nebraska calls for 40's to near 60 for temps this week in January! :fing32:
