Chuck: Read what I said to Jimmy. I think there were a lot of cabs fabricated from the same pattern, by different fabricators in various geographic locations. I can also see not many cabs back then crossing the border between US and Canada. They had some funny rules back then on tarrifs and duties. Farm equipment has always been duty free, both directions. They probably considered the cab a luxury. I know I ran into a similar thing buying my first skid loader in 1972. Skid loaders weren't considered farm equipment back then, thus the Case dealer had been charged duty when this loader came into Canada. I paid the duty then applied to get it back, you wouldn't believe the nightmare trying to convince bureaucrats, a skid loader would be a great machine for barn use feeding cows and scraping up manure. To them it was construction equipment and just wouldn't pick up cow manure or silage. By 1976 the skid loaders were coming in duty free. Probably those same bureaucrats couldn't figure out how a farmer could get cold or wet on a tractor.
