So I had some time between some of our snow accumulations in West Michigan to add a couple of perks to my blower tractor of a mount for carrying a snow shovel and a back up camera.  Will see how the camera works relative to snow dust.  Seems that you get to an age where one's neck doesn't pivot like it did years ago.  Hopefully it helps me back up better in the blown pass before making the next pass.  Found the back up camera on Amazon for roughly $25, so why no try it.  Being retired gives one more time in my heated shop.

It is a standard enclosure that Simplicity/Allis Chalmers offered back in the day.  Just have to watch on Craig's List or FB Marketplace as they come up for sale every once in a while.

I never found one in nice shape for my 720. 52” thrower does a nice job but when the wind blows it back on ya it’s cold and wet! Full face motorcycle helmet helps but a cab would be sweet.
Nice outfit you have there, removing snow could actually be fun.

My future upgrades of power steering and hydraulic lift are yet to come.  Winter snow came earlier than I had hoped.  Have all the parts, spring is coming but this will be a project as I need to remove the cab enclosure which isn't fun to do the work.  But this type of "retirement" work is enjoyable.
