Saved a few old Esso Farm News magazines from the early fifties including this one showing various farm tractor cabs of the day. Pretty crude but at the time it was a big step forward in comfort.

There have been a lot of days I wished for a cab any kind of
cab . Spent many a day and night finishing up plowing in
November or first of December wishing I had something to
block the wind

Know the freezing feeling . . . .spreading manure when the frozen ground permits, trying to use road gear to a field half a mile away, wind chill with a humidity of 70% biting exposed skin and working through the layers of cloths, even the collie dog knows better than to be out.
 
My dad had the heat houser on the Cockshutt 50 and it was a big improvement over sitting out in the open. He used it all winter and kept it on well into spring seeding.

There was an H Farmall with a loader like that at the sale on Saturday.
It was kind of hard to visualize how that worked. Outside the box thinking.

That movie listed in the Imperial Oil Review, A Mile Below the Wheat is worth a look too. Focusing on the big crude oil strike at Leduc, Alberta in 1947. Canada had been importing up to 90% of it's petroleum until that time. This changed that. Interesting scenes of the machinery and procedures used in building the pipeline. Its on youtube.
