I have the cab assembled and attached to my Troy Built machine, but we have not had any snow yet this year. I am hoping that it works as well as advertised. Our neighborhood association pays to have all driveways plowed so many home owners fail to shovel the sidewalks. Those of us with dogs have a lot of trouble until spring. So, several years back I started snow blowing a small circuit around the neighborhood. My old MTD 5 PH machine was too small and I tore up a shoulder working through the wind-rows from each plowed driveway. Now I have a 10 HP Troy Bilt and plow about 1.25 miles of sidewalks in about 1 hour (for a 3-6 inch snow fall).
The assembly was pretty straight forward. The directions were actually very good in comparison to most other items I have assembled. I changed two things. First I reversed the handle mounting bracket to move the cab forward about 8 inches. This allows me to maneuver without using the zipper windows. Second, I purchased knobs to replace the set screws that tighten the cab to the handle bracket. This allows me to remove and store the cab for every use .. due to limited garage space.
The one thing I did not account for was the off center weight. I leveled the handle brackets before mounting the cab. However, the cab then sags at the rear and I needed to adjust the angle to keep it level.
