Anyone ID this cab on H

ryanwheelock · Dec 29, 2009

Can anyone Id this cab? Factory made or homemade? I almost like this one better than the Hinker cab I saw on this site on an H with a snow blower up front. I still plow a bit with my H in the winter even though I've got 2 plow trucks, only tractor time I get in the winter. But gets cold with no cab. Were can one get the engine side shields like the photo?
Also the H that had the Hinker cab with blower up front used a pto shaft coming from the rear. Wear can one find the gear box that converts the shaft to run under to the front? Anyone ever use a blower on an old Farmall like this?

I would wager that just about everything non-stock on that tractor is homemade, but very well done. That's one impressive rig. It almost looks too nice to use. Sam

Not sure about the cab, but it looks pretty fancy. I also like how they are pushing off the axles/rear of the tractor. VERY effective pushing force.

As for the snow blower I know they ran a drop box type thing on belly mounted sickle mowers. I need one for mine. I saw one on an auction once and there isn't much to them. A sprocket with 540 teeth inside and teeth outside that goes to another sprocket below that has a knuckle welded to it. You could make one up very easily. Obviously would would need something to locate the sprocket down below so you can get the chain tight. IIRC the whole mess bolted to the PTO shield or that vicinity.

The cab looks like it might actually be a Tokheim, offered as an option for the Farmall H and M, W6, W9, etc.

I just came in from pushing snow with a 2WD tractor and would really like to see that thing in action. Wondering if the front blade is easier than a rear.

That looks like a lot of weight hanging off the front taking traction away from the back tires....

Yup...my thinkin exactly. Don't know how much that cab adds in weight but without chains and weights I'm thinkin that is one of those cool looking (let's go get the four wheel drive tractor!) kinda innovations that are better left in the barn during the big storms. I have a 2N on the side of the drive and I just used it to push some light snow off the drive and road. Sitting right next to it is the 4WD 1520 with loader that would be waiting on the heavier stuff. Having said that...if that H works as good as it looks I would like to give it a test drive.

It looks like a "Chewall" tractor from the animated movie "Cars"

Looks like the type that when it starts to snow you start plowing and hope you can keep up. I know that rig wouldn't have touched the last snow we had.

I just saw a picture of this cab on an IH tractor featured in this years Old Iron Calendar. It stated that it was made by the Raby Mfg. Company.

I hope this helps.
