Jimmy: I stand corrected, but I'm also wondering if a lot of early cab production was done by regional fabricators, licensed under a single patent. I say this as the cab I remember in the 60 and early 70s was called Excell. I have also seen the name Ideal on that same cab. Other cabs we saw here in Canada were Simms and Year-a-Round.

I don't know what that first cab on 06 tractors was called other than tight noise box. That is the one where side walls of cab went straight up inside the fenders. There is a farmer near here still has one of those, basically a standby tractor today, but as he says, at least it's shelter when one of these Great Lakes thunder storms catches you off guard.

The guys working there told me a story about conning a guy weighing 350lbs into operating this 706 one day. He got in and into the seat, but at the end of the day he couldn't get out. They had to take the back window out and remove him that way.
