All-Weather Cab Protection for Simplicity Tractors

Bad weather can turn a short task into a long day. Snow may blow back toward the seat. Cold rain can make you wet in just a few minutes. So, a hardtop cab can add real value to your tractor.

Cab 11745 helps block rain, snow, sleet and wind. The roof gives cover from above. Clear panels help shield the sides and rear. Also, the glass front helps keep the work area in view.

Rain and Sleet Protection

Wet weather can make yard work less pleasant. Rain may soak your coat and gloves. So, our hardtop cab adds a barrier between you and much of the weather.

The roof helps shed rain. Plus, the front, side and rear panels help block wind-driven water. Yet the cab is not fully sealed or watertight.

Snow and Cold Wind Protection

Winter work can put you in cold air for hours. Wind may blow loose snow toward your face. Also, a snow tool can send snow back toward the operator when the wind shifts.

Cab 11745 helps reduce that direct exposure. So, you can work with less snow and wind against your body. The glass front and clear side panels help you watch the path ahead.

Sun and Warm Weather Shade

The hard roof can also block direct sun from above. So, it may add shade on warm days. Yet the cab can trap heat when the air is hot.

Keep fresh air flowing through the cab. Also, take breaks when the heat rises. The cab has no built-in cooling system.

Hail and Severe Weather Limits

The roof can help shield you from light weather that falls from above. However, the cab is not a hail or impact shelter.

Large hail, strong storms and flying debris can cause harm. So, stop work and seek safe shelter when severe weather moves in.

Simplicity Hardtop Cab 11745 Features

Black ABS Plastic Hardtop

Cab 11745 has a molded ABS plastic roof. It helps shed rain and snow from above. Plus, it gives the enclosure a firm top.

The current roof color is black. Some older product photos may show a white roof. So, expect a black hardtop on the current cab.

Safety Glass Windshield Included

The cab comes with a safety glass front windshield. Glass gives the operator a clear view ahead. Also, it works with the hand wiper that comes in the cab kit.

The windshield leans forward. This shape helps cut glare and contact with falling rain and snow. Still, keep the glass clean and free of frost before you drive.

Hand-Operated Windshield Wiper

Rain and wet snow can block your view. So, Cab 11745 comes with a hand wiper for the front glass.

The wiper helps clear water from the windshield. Plus, you can choose an electric wiper conversion if you want that added feature.

Clear Lexan Side and Rear Windows

A good view helps when you work near trees, walls and walks. So, the cab uses clear Lexan plastic in the side doors and rear curtain.

These panels help block cold wind and snow. Also, they help you see the space around the tractor.

Hinged Doors with Latches

The cab has a door on each side. Each door has hinges and a latch. So, you can get in and out without taking the cab apart.

The doors help close the sides of the cab. Plus, the clear panels let you check the ground beside the machine.

Steel Tube Cab Frame

The steel tube frame supports the roof, doors and weather panels. It gives the cab its main shape. So, each part has a firm place on the enclosure.

The frame is not a rollover safety frame. It must not replace factory safety gear.

Optional Electric Wiper and Warning Light

The cab kit includes a hand wiper. However, an optional 12-volt electric wiper conversion is also available.

You may also add a compatible flashing amber caution light. So, check the correct accessory part and power needs before you place an order.

Simplicity and Snapper Tractor Cab Fitment

Simplicity Broadmoor Cab Fit

Cab 11745 fits compatible Simplicity Broadmoor tractors. These lawn tractors serve many home and yard needs.

Check the model and product number before you buy. Also, review the cab guide for the exact mount points.

Simplicity Conquest Cab Fit

The cab also fits select Simplicity Conquest tractors. These machines can use mower decks and compatible yard or snow tools.

So, a hardtop cab can add weather cover when you use the tractor through the cold months.

Simplicity Prestige Cab Fit

Cab 11745 fits select Simplicity Prestige tractors. The Prestige line includes lawn and garden tractors with a range of features.

Some models use four-wheel drive. Yet not all Prestige tractors have the same frame or mounts. Check the exact product number.

Simplicity 1600, 1700 and 1800 Series

The cab guide lists the 1600, 1700 and 1800 Series among its fit groups. So, owners of select older Simplicity tractors may also use Cab 11745.

Machine age can affect fit. Also, past repairs or added tools may change the mounts. Check the tractor before you buy.

Simplicity 2600, 2700 and 2800 Series

The cab guide also lists the 2600, 2700 and 2800 Series. These tractors may have different frame and rear hitch layouts.

For that reason, follow the correct cab mount steps for your tractor group. Do not assume all models use the same rear mount points.

Snapper GT2354 Yard and Garden Tractor

Cab 11745 also fits the Snapper GT2354 yard and garden tractor, as listed on the product page.

Check the tractor tag and mount points first. Then, review any added snow or yard tools for cab clearance.

Cab 11745 Installation and Care

How Long Does Installation Take?

Plan about three to four hours for a typical first install. The exact time will depend on your tools and skill.

Start with the full cab guide. Next, lay out the frame, roof, doors and hardware. Then, follow the steps in order.

Do You Need to Drill Holes?

Most compatible tractors have the holes needed for the cab. So, normal installation uses those existing mount points.

However, some early models may lack the needed holes. The cab manual has drill steps for those machines.

Check the mount layout before you start. Do not drill unless the guide calls for that step on your tractor.

Rear Mount Fit by Tractor Series

Some Simplicity tractors use a different rear frame layout. So, the rear cab bar may need a model-specific mount.

On Prestige, 2700 and 2800 tractors, the guide places the rear crossbar behind the hitch plate. Follow the steps for that layout.

Snow Blade and Chute Control Clearance

The cab kit has a blade control bracket for use with a compatible snow or dozer blade.

Also, the front vinyl panel has a slot for some manual snowblower chute cranks. So, check the full travel of each control before use.

Seasonal Cab Removal

The product lists a typical removal time of about 45 minutes. So, you can take the cab off when you no longer need it.

Store each panel with care. Also, keep the clear plastic flat or in a safe shape. Avoid sharp folds and grit.

Clean the Windows with Care

Clear plastic can scratch when you rub it dry. So, rinse the panels with clean running water.

The cab guide calls for gentle cleaning with water and bare hands. Also, mild liquid soap may help. Do not use a dry cloth or brush on clear plastic.

Check the Cab Before Each Season

Loose bolts can harm the cab frame. So, check all mounts from time to time.

Use light machine oil on door latches and hinges as the guide directs. Also, look for wear in the vinyl and clear panels.

Find the full guide on our Original Tractor Cab installation manuals page . Use the manual for Cab 11745 and Simplicity reference 1695613.

Transport and Storage Safety

Remove the vinyl panels before you haul the tractor on an open truck or trailer. The cab guide calls for this step.

Also, wash and dry the cab before storage. Keep it in a clean, dry place away from direct sun.

Simplicity Broadmoor, Conquest and Prestige Tractor Specifications

Simplicity has made many lawn and garden tractors over the years. The Broadmoor, Conquest and Prestige lines serve different yard needs.

Some models have gas engines and two-wheel drive. Others have four-wheel drive or more deck options. So, no one set of specs fits them all.

Simplicity Broadmoor Tractor Specifications

The Broadmoor is a lawn tractor line for mowing and home yard care. Many models use gas engines and hydrostatic drives.

A hydrostatic drive lets the operator change speed without a manual gear shift. Also, select models use foot controls.

Broadmoor mower decks vary by model and year. So, check the product number for the right deck, engine and drive specs.

Simplicity Conquest Tractor Specifications

The Conquest line serves larger lawns and tough yard work. Many models use V-twin gas engines and hydrostatic drives.

Select Conquest tractors also offer power steering and other comfort features. Yet the exact equipment can change by year.

Some Conquest models can use snow tools. So, a weather cab may help when the tractor works in winter.

Simplicity Prestige Tractor Specifications

The Prestige line includes premium lawn and garden tractors. Many models use V-twin gas engines and hydrostatic drives.

Select Prestige models offer four-wheel drive. This can help with traction on snow or wet ground.

Yet four-wheel drive does not stop slips on ice or steep slopes. So, always use safe speed and the right tires.

Simplicity 1600, 1700 and 1800 Series Specifications

These older Simplicity tractor groups cover a range of machines. Engine make, power and drive type vary by model.

Some use gear drives, while others use hydrostatic systems. So, use the full model and product number for exact specs.

Simplicity 2600, 2700 and 2800 Series Specifications

These garden tractor groups include a range of frame, engine and drive layouts. Some models have more features for heavy yard work.

Mower deck sizes, steering and hydraulic features can differ. Also, the rear hitch layout may change by series.

The cab guide calls for a special rear mount layout on Prestige, 2700 and 2800 tractors. So, check the cab instructions with care.

Simplicity Hydrostatic Drive Systems

Many Simplicity tractors use hydrostatic drives. These systems help the operator change ground speed with ease.

A drive pedal or lever controls travel on many models. Yet the exact controls vary by tractor.

Simplicity Four-Wheel Drive

Some Prestige and other compatible tractor models have four-wheel drive. It can help with grip on wet or snowy ground.

However, ice and steep slopes still pose risks. So, follow the machine manual and use the right ballast.

Simplicity Mower Decks

Simplicity offers a range of mower decks across its tractor lines. Deck width and lift systems vary by model.

Some decks use the Simplicity Free Floating mower design. This helps the deck follow the shape of the lawn.

Check the exact deck and tractor pair before you order parts or add a new tool.

Simplicity Snowblower and Snow Blade Options

Select Simplicity tractors can use front snowblowers or snow blades. So, they can serve as winter yard machines.

A snowblower moves snow from the path and sends it out through a chute. A blade pushes snow to the side.

Both tools need room to move. So, check all cab and control clearances before use.

Snapper GT2354 Tractor Specifications

The Snapper GT2354 is a yard and garden tractor. Its model name is linked to a 23 hp class tractor and a 54-inch mower deck.

Engine and drive details should come from the exact product tag. Also, check the tractor manual before you order parts.

Find the Exact Simplicity Tractor Specifications

Each Simplicity tractor has a product identification number. It helps you find the right engine, deck and service data for that machine.

Visit the official Simplicity website to learn more about the brand and its equipment.

You can also use Simplicity product support to look for manuals and service help. Check the model and product number before you order parts.

Original Tractor Cab Company History Since 1939

A Farm Idea That Began in 1939

Original Tractor Cab began in 1939. At that time, farmer Stanley Williams needed more cover from harsh weather while he worked.

So, Stanley made a cab for his own tractor. It helped shield him from rain, wind and cold.

Other farmers soon saw his new cab. They too worked in bad weather. So, they asked for the same kind of cover.

That first cab became the start of a family business. The goal was clear from the first day.

Help people work with less harsh weather on their bodies. That goal still guides the company today.

From One Tractor Cab to a Growing Business

Stanley knew how hard farm work could be. He also knew the need for cover in cold weather.

So, he kept making useful cab designs. More farmers saw the value of his work.

As demand grew, the company grew. Yet the core idea stayed much the same.

Make weather covers that help people work outdoors with more comfort.

Original Tractor Cab During World War II

World War II brought a new need for goods and supplies. So, the company changed its work to help the war effort.

The team made backpacks and other needed goods for military use. After the war, the company went back to making products for outdoor work.

New Cabs for Lawn and Garden Tractors

Outdoor machines changed as the years went by. Lawn tractors and snowblowers became more common.

So, Original Tractor Cab added products for these machines. The company grew beyond its first farm tractor cabs.

More homeowners could now add weather cover to the machines they used for yard care.

Sunshades for Summer Work

Cold weather was not the only concern. Hot sun could also make long days less pleasant.

So, the company added sunshades to its range. These shades help block direct sun from above.

As a result, Original Tractor Cab could help more operators through the year.

Three Generations of the Williams Family

Stanley Williams began the business. Later, his family carried the work forward through three generations.

Each generation brought new ideas and products. Yet the goal stayed much the same.

Make useful weather covers for people who work outdoors.

Made in Arlington, Indiana

Original Tractor Cab is based in Arlington, Indiana. We take pride in our long history of American manufacturing.

Our products help farmers, homeowners and grounds crews work with more comfort.

So, we keep making cabs, enclosures and sunshades for the machines they use.

Cab 11745 Carries on the Tradition

Simplicity lawn and garden tractors came long after Stanley made his first cab. Yet the need for weather cover remains.

Rain still falls. Snow still blows. Cold wind can still make work feel long.

So, Cab 11745 brings that same basic idea to compatible Simplicity tractors.
