Joshua,
Burch Manufacturing of Fort Dodge, Iowa, still makes Heat Housers. For a Super C, it includes the windshield and side "windows"; cost is listed at $430.00. Just type their name when you search.
I drove many tractors in the 1950s before cabs came along. When we pulled wagon loads of corn from the field in late fall in Iowa, hauled manure and moved snow all winter, they were really nice. We used some canvas parts to plug up most of the "holes" around the brake and clutch pedals and that really kept our feet warm.
Even when driving with the wind there was still some heat coming to your feet. When it"s -20F and windy you will really appreciate it.
On early Spring days when it got warm, we just peeled the front of the sides back and retied them and the excess engine heat wouldn"t bother us.
If you store it in a dry place where mice can"t get at it, it will last you for a lot of years.
I am wondering if the "better than nothing" crowd has experienced a severe winter and having to drive a tractor without a cab for hours every day. I never saw freezing nearly to death to be a measure of how tough I was!
