L3901 cab/windshield build

Started my cab build today on my L3901. Plan is for it to be easily removable. The front is going to be a hard windshield and the sides and back canvas and clear vinyl. So far the front panel design seems like I am on the right track. The front panel tips forward and lifts up to remove. Im not trying to build something airtight necessarily just enough to keep blowing snow and wind off me.

I do boat canvas so the soft sides should be pretty straight forward. The door will likely be zippered.

I'm planning on posting as I go along and comments suggestions are welcome.

The top support is not installed yet. The plan is a bent plate and a bolt on each side of the frame. I kept the top of the frame low so it will clear the roof during removal.

Making some progress. Changed the design to use the left cab mount and the hydraulic bracket on the right side. Frame is fully welded out now and primed in the garage. Need to put 1/8" plate on the front with the cut out for the window. I'm going to profile the plate around the hood and hydraulics, etc. The frame comes off the tractor with four bolts and I only had to drill one 3/8" hole in the tractor on the bracket that supports the hydraulics.
