John Deere D140 tractor cab

So after a brutal winter, I set out to make an enclosed cab for my little D140 after looking at the flimsy nylon cabs available. I spent hours on CZcams and Google Images looking for different ideas and took several and made them my own. I spent about two months with a few hours here and there and a few long days and long nights paired with a lot of trial and error. It was a fun project and I'm hopeful that all of this work will act as an insurance policy for less snow this year.....hopeful but ready!! Thanks for watching!

I know it's a late post, but good use of CAD, cardboard aided design. Nice work.

[@Jesseyclarke87]

What did you use to make the windows. Like was it glass or what?. And where did you get it. Need somthing like that for my peoject. Thanks

[@MrBill3288]

I’m curious how you attatched the cab to the body?
Thanks love the video. I’m looking at doing something similar. Also love the winch on front!!!

[@KyleRiggott2011]

4 bolts. One on each side of foot rest area and two across the back.

How strudy is it? When operating

[@KyleRiggott2011]

It is surprisingly sturdy!

How do you open the hood?

[@KyleRiggott2011]

Slightly tricky. To open it all the way there are two bolts I have to remove on the front winch bracket to lean it forward out of the way. Then at the bottom of the windshield there's a panel I slide up that allows the hood to clear. Clear as mud I know.

Those transmissions are complete junk. They fail within 200 hours

[@Lukeluzier86]

Are you talking about hydros in general or just the jd ones because I Have a cub cadet that I converted to a mud tractor and it has a hydro with 836 hours on it and still going strong

[@KyleRiggott2011]

And it did with 40 hours. I put a brand new one in. 9nce this one goes, I'll junk it

[@paintingwithextremeaffect7821]

Glad you think so. I have 1300 hrs and still no problem. It does make a little noise but still goes. I think a lot of people use them mowing on hillsides and burn them up.

I have an S240 tractor (same tractor but with the Kawasaki engine) that I bought brand new seven years ago, still running strong and no issues with my transaxle. Never had to do a thing to it other than replacing a drive belt. The tractor has 440.0 hours on the clock.

Mine has almost 3000 hours and no problems
