Arnold 490-241-0032 Univ Snow Thrower Cab, Black

I would buy again
Soooo, lot’s of reviews about this cover.Some good, some not so good. Here’s the skinny on this.I’m an elevator mechanic for a living so i’m well adapted in the garage and around tools. If you’re into working on your own stuff, you won’t have any issues assembling and installing it on your snowblower. It will however give you a run for your money if your not paying attention to the directions. I read a lot of complaints about the wrinkles in the clear plastic due to shipping. So before I did anything, I grabbed a large bath towel, got it wet and ringed it out, and then put the wife’s ironing board and iron [carefully] to work. This actually did help quit a bit (and took quite a bit of time) I would recommend this. It didn’t take out every little wrinkle, but it definitely helped with a lot of large creases. I was able to assemble the cab alone. After assembly, tried using a heat gun on low to remove some small wrinkles. If that helped any, I didn’t notice. It took two of us to mount it to the Cub Cadet snowblower. Figuring out where you want it to mount and where it will be sitting is as tricky as it gets. It definitely pays to have another set of hands for this part as it is unwieldy. Once we got it all bolted up it seemed pretty sturdy. I think I will drill and through bolt the bracket where it clamps to the downtubes just to keep it from twisting/sliding during use as I can see that may become a problem. Remember, this is a universal cover. If you have a single headlight, this cover may work fine for you with it’s zipper flap that allows the light to remain uncovered. It you have the newer duel LED light’s like the Cub has, this won’t work for you. Honestly, I’m just going to grab a large pair of shears and cut the cover where the lights go. Maybe duct tape or a few zip ties/bungie cords to hold it in place to the lights. If you don’t do this, the light will reflect back into your face from the inside. Or just don’t use your lights. We didn’t find that the wrinkles obstructed our view as bad as some others stated. Let’s face it, i’m not driving down the highway, it’s just moving snow.By the way, it also has a little storage bag that hangs down from the inside bracket so you can stuff your hat or gloves in there.Pros:No more snow dustKeeps you out of the wind, dry, and a lot warmerFit’s most anythingGood buy for the moneyEasy for the handy person to assembleIt’s universalCons:Can be difficult to assemble for the “not so handy”You’ll most likely need to do something to help get rid of wrinkles.You’ll most likely have to do something for the headlights if putting on a newer model machine.It’s universal

Works great
Overall this product is a good buy. It attached to a 24″ craftsman snow blower without a problem.Pro: easy to assemble and install. Keeps the snow spray off. As a plus, it is a lot warmer within the enclosure then outside. I find myself sweating while pushing the blower. I would purchase and recommend this product.Con: Even though this is a long con, don’t equate it as a bad product. Although easy to put together, the instructions could be better written, also the recommended wrench sizes on the box and instructions are wrong. A couple of the nut welds cracked- which in no way diminishes the operation of the cover and can easily be fix. As with other comments, the window has fold creases in it which limits some viewing, but does not limit it anymore then the enclosure itself- you give up a little visibility for the comfort. When the wind is blowing, it is a trade well made. I would like to see a quick-connect attachment mechanism. Right now the enclosure is attached to the blower via two brackets and eight bolts. This makes removal inconvenient. On nice sunny days when the wind isn’t blowing it would be nice to remove the enclosure,

A truly universal snowblower cab
I should have bought this year’s ago. I’ve been looking at this product for a while but every time I decided to buy it, it was out of stock. It kept the snow out of my face while snow blowing in windy conditions 👍.The clamps for the snowblower can be oriented horizontaly or vertically. It took awhile for me to find what worked for my machine due to clearances for electric starter and the pull cord as well the chute control. It won’t slide on and off like the directions state (so you can store the cab) but that was because of the configuration of my snow blower. For me, it’s worth the money.

Good but the two small buttom windows on the cab should be one large bottom window to accomodate lighting on the snowblower. Otherwise, good snowblower cab inasmuch as it’s easy to install, and it appears sturdy enough for our everlasting canadin winters.

Très durable
