For what it's worth, here in northern Nebraska, where the winters get COLD, and with 500-800 head of cows to feed every day, we never had a "store-bought" cab on any of our tractors until the late '80s. Dad and Grandad built cabs for ALL our tractors out of angle iron and plywood with plexiglass side and back windows and a glass front window in an unboltable metal frame. An accessory heater was always used as well. The whole thing would be unbolted for hayfield use in the summertime.
Some tractors I remember these cabs on include a 560, 656, H, a 484, and the last one before we got a tractor with a factory cab was an 886 where the plywood was bolted to the rollover-protection frame. After that, sorry to admit, the ranch went "Green"....
