Deere 2120 Fitted With Old Case Cab

Deere 2120 Fitted With Old Case Cab TRACTORS Cabs 26-2-44 Robert Wuytenburg says pushing and blowing snow this past winter was a lot more pleasant than ever before. Wuytenburg, Denfield, Ontario, boards trotting horses for a number of harness racers and has to keep a large driveway and barn lot open, as well as a half mile exercise track. His 2120 is equipped with a snow blade on front and a 3-point mounted blower on back. He'd thought about putting a cab on the little Deere before, but hadn't been able to find a used one that was built for the tractor. "I couldn't justify buying a new after-market cab," he says. While searching for a used Deere cab, he found one off a Case 1031 Diesel. "It wasn't in bad shape, although it had been left on its top back in the weeds," he says. To his surprise, the width of the hood on his 2120 matched the front opening on the 1031 cab. "It really didn't take much modification to make it fit," he says. He shortened the struts that go over the axle and made new mounting brackets to fit over the 2120 axles. And he removed the fenders from the 2120. "I plan on making new fenders for it later. I also plan to add a rear wiper and lights," he says. The cab has windows that open an air filter and fan, and a windshield wiper. "Once I painted it green, it looks like it belongs on the tractor," he notes. He paid $200 for the old cab so figures with paint and a few new parts, his cab has cost him less than $300.
