Summary: Snowblower Cab Installation 2008-04-16
Comment: I purchased this Classic Accessories Deluxe Snow Thrower Cab #71367 back on December 18, 2007. After reading some of the other reviews I decided to install the cab when the weather was around 60 degrees because of the trouble trying to stretch the canvas around the frame. On April 15, 2008 I started at 2:30 PM and finished at 6:00 PM. I took my time rather than rush only to have to redo it right the next time.
I didn't realize that there were twelve extra U shaped clamps out of the sixteen that came with the kit, there also was extra bolts and nuts. The frame went together fairly fast altho if there were strips of color coordinated tape on the metal frame pieces (red to red, green to green, etc) my time on this phase could have been drastically reduced. I plan on drilling holes through the horizontal pipes and the handlebars to secure this as a unit to the snowblower, as soon as I get bolts and lock nuts at a hardware store.
The canvas and plexiglass cover was next. The first corner in the back went together very easily, there were three snaps and velcro from top to bottom. Then the two front pipes were more difficult to secure with the velcro strips because the canvas didn't seem to fit. But then that last back corner, WOW!! the canvas was at least five to six inches short to wrap around that vertical pipe. I tried for over an hour but couldn't get it to even come close. Then I grab a 12" clamp with rubber covered jaws and clamped that on to the canvas and used that as a fabric stretcher, I could easily get 2" more than what I needed.
The quality of sewing and the craftsmanship of the metal work was excellent. The design of the cab to easily fit any snowblower was also amazing. An almost similar cab except in red canvas and half a dozen symbols and trademarks saying Toro cost over $250 at a Toro dealership. There is more than enough room inside the cab for using the controls. Also there seems to be no problem walking behind the snowblower and keeping it under control. The height of the cab could easily accommodate a six footer with no feeling of restriction. It doesn't seem top heavy even tho it is about 7' tall. I like the design when needed to remove the entire cab with only two pins. I may add a 12 - 14 inch plexiglass flap at the top back with snaps or velcro to keep the swirling snow out of my neck.
The only area that MIGHT be a problem is the clearance between a horizontal pipe and the tires. My snowblower is a 12 horse - 32" wide Toro and one of the features - the tires swing back 10" to give more weight to the front or then back to normal to balance the weight on the tires. When I fastened the lower horizontal pipe to the handlebars there was less that 1/2" clearance between the tires when they are swung toward the back. There was no other place for this pipe to go because of the protrusion of the engine between the handlebars, the gear housing for the discharge shoot, and the transmission shift rod. Hopefully this may not be a problem, but this could be a rather easy fix for me. BJ

Comment: This cab is great for keeping the snow from blowing back on to you when using your snow thrower. It is involved putting together and you have to take your time. In addition, it does add size (width and height) to your snow thrower frame. I am glad to have it now.

Summary: snow blower cab quality 2008-01-21
Comment: well the cab i need from simplicity for my new snow blower was out of stock on the entire planet and it was $180.00. I dont like to buy junk and my simplicity snow blower is the big pro model that just cost me $1800.00 so I was pretty sceptical about this fits all cab fitting and looking good for sale.
after searching the web and seeing this same cab cover for about the same cost I bought it here and got the free shipping.
This cover is a cover thats fits everything but probally fits nothing well but after all it is a fits all. If your snow blower has the tube handels supports that run from the blower chassis to the hand grips then this will go on pretty easy as this is what it has been designed to ........fits all for.
My simplicity pro model has big C channels the go from the blower body up to the handles so this cover has no chance of fitting. Being a professional mechanic/welder and amature butcher/cob artist with just a little thought and 4 P clamps the frame was on and looks pretty damn good on my !1800.00 snow blower with out voiding the warranty.
Ok now for the bad and good. the bad, the cab is a little on the cheap side but for $100.00 i expected it but I am not dissapointed at all. The canvas is kinda thin and so is the clear plasitc. The counter weight that goes on front to help balance the blower is cheap and you fill it with sand and i couldnt really see it working too good or staying on but it may be ok, i didn;t try it.. The cover kinda covers the factory head light where it is so that may have to be delt with. Other than that its pretty much what i expected.
Now the good, it was packaged real nice, the directions weren't that bad, after I had all the parts out of the box I had the upper frame all together on the kitchen table in 15 minutes. no rocket science needed here. after the frame was fitted to the blower frame it was just minor adjustments and I was rockin. NOW HERES THE BEST PART!!! with 2 pins the cab cover and upper frame pop right off as a uint and the lower sub frames stays on so if your like me, driving the blower up stairs to get on to the deck or trying to fit between the garage and the fence for the dog pen this is very handy as it would just get destroyed. its on and off with in 15 seconds its that easy. for counter weight i scrounged up a steel bar that was 24 inches long, 5 inches wide and 1/2 inches thick, and bolted it to the top of the front blower body. all blower manufactures make this to fit their machines to counter balance the cab. I'm cheap. I'm 6' 4" at 360 pounds and it fit in the cover pretty good so if your smaller you got it made.
over all i would recomend this cover to all who like me hate getting pelted in the face with snow during blower operations. Eric Horn

Comment: I've had this cab for two winters now. Mounted it on a Toro snowthrower. Took a little time to figure out the installation but I managed. So far, so good.

Comment: Very satisfied with this product. I didn't have nearly as much trouble assembling that I thought I might. I put the frame together inside where it was warm and then attached it to the blower. It does take some patience but I expected that. Once again, I am very pleased.
