Re: CABs
If you think that early construction machinery cabs were crude you had a lucky escape! Agricultural tractor cabs were worse - the names Bonser and Fritzmeier were the stuff of nightmares - if they kept the rain out they also offered nil visibility!
Seats - as you say, perforated tin pan - luxury seat, perforated tin pan with folded hessian sack!
As for school loo paper perhaps we should start a new thread on another site discussing the relative merits of Izal, Bronco Jeys etc!
Great stuff!

Re: CABs
On farm tractors the cabs I remember were Duncan (made in Aberdeenshire) Winsam, and as said above, the Fritzmeir with the canvas sides and lift up curved windscreen.
We had a M-F 65 which had the mudguard/cab brackets shear while harrowing sending the cab over the back of the tractor and breaking the drivers wrist. In actual fact he was really lucky!

To quote Modelman, "If you think that early construction machinery cabs were crude you had a lucky escape! Agricultural tractor cabs were worse - the names Bonser and Fritzmeier were the stuff of nightmares - if they kept the rain out they also offered nil visibility!"
Fritzmeier make the cabs on the current Cat 360 range. Somewhat of an improvement I imagine! My only criticism is the polycarbonate skylight, it scratches very easily, and becomes translucent over time, making upward visibility very poor.

Re: CABs
Ive seen a guy on machines a few times round here, works for a firm from Peterborough way. He was on a 3CX, later an Akerman. Always had a Golden Retriever or Lab type dog in the cab with him, that has to be a squash. It just used to lay on the cab floor, he worked around it I think!
Mine's a border collie cross, there's no space in the Cat for her. Anyway she would be a non starter, dont know how to sit still, would want to get out and see everybody, and id be scared stiff of treading on her.
