Default Careful you......

.... we will not let you back in to get parts....!!!!

Never seen such a device..... we get so little sun here we would never use it.... Only the Australian would cut out the roof section...ie Sun roof.... then add a canvas on the windshield for shade......

There must be a Canadian equivalent made of beaver pelts to keep the windshield from icing up.

Cheers

That windshield cover would be to keep aircraft from spotting the suns reflected glare. Remember cabs 11 & 12 windshields slanted back.
My Cletrac had the same thing.

Default Response to Mike Kelly.....

I have seen one very used up for over that $180...... I eventually bought a whole rolling chassis primarily for that again for more than the NOS.....

Any web site we might look at for the NOS ones????

I rebuilt mine with new bolts sandblasted, etc. but would be hesitant to use the winch at full capacity because of the hardened rubber pucks that provided the joint flexibility. I found similar concept coupler for old american tractors.... joining the output of the engine to the transmission input...... but intended for smaller engines with low (20)HP and low RPM......

A new NOS one, if the rubber is not dried up, would be nice...

Cheers
