when i was helping dad in my younger years, i asked him if we could get a heat houser for the newest tractor? he just looked at me! said i would fall plow in the evenings when getting home from work if he did! he musta thought that was a good idea, as he went and bought one to fit some other tractor (was cheaper) also was made outta plastic! got it sorta modified, to fit. it did make a difference the first cold night, but the next cold night when i went to open the side door to climb on...it shattered! then he yelled at me for being to hard on it!! whew!! that was the 1st and last heat houser on his farm!

Only heat help I got, was that my grandma would layer me in grampas long underwear and wrap me like a mummy.. could hardley see and was so stiff from all the clothes that I could hardley turn around in the seat.. My dad made us just tough it out... while they got all the warm cabs... Common response from Dad when telling him I was freezing while pushen snow.. " If you can gripe you are warm enough"

Haha. We used to have a heat houser that sat in the corner of thew barn, grandpa didn't like it much cause you couldn't see very well through the windshield. Last time we put that one on, I did it while I was home alone. Next day he told me "you'll see. you won't listen so youl just see" We went to cut wood, bout a half mile up the road I took a ball peen hammer and knocked the rest of the windshield out. Even withthat windshild gon and the big tear on the side, it sure made the difference, enough atleast for me to make the one pictured above from scratch. That windshield I got from GaryIN. By the way, Thanks gary, The sides go all the way back now and it sits higher up. Makes it easire to stay out of the cross wind.

That's right, When Colorado outlawed cable chains I had to replace several sets of those with "real" chains for the truck fleet I managed at the time. The owner told me to throw out the old ones so I did.....right into the back of my van

I still have the Heat Houser that I bought for my originial D-21 back in 1976. It was real neat plowing corn stalks with the D-21 being nice and warm, hearing the purr out the stack, and the snapping of the frozen corn stalks being rolled under.

Heat Housers were great, hauling ear corn in the fall, then take the windshield off for spring field work. Wish I had one now for my WD45, it would make blading snow a lot nicer.

I have one I mounted on the 45, but it hasn't been on since I bought a digital camera. I need to add a handle to my diverter valve before I can use it. 15 to 20 minutes can usually get things cleaned up so I haven't bothered with it in years.
I remeber shredding stalks for the neighbor with his 630 JD. The wind was out of the west at about 40 mph and when you got to the west end and turned around, you couldn't see for the next 10 minutes. I had to get goggles and a mask to keep working.

 Here is a picture from a late snow storm on 4/19/73. Notice Grandpa all ready had the snow chains off for the year. Grandpa was 51 and the D-17 was 9. Grandpa is no longer with us but we still have the tractor with over 11,000 hours.
