Wanting to add snow cab/canopy to my Craftsman snowblower....

There are a lot of univeral snow cabs on the net. Wonder if anyone added one to their blower, and what worked well? I also see you can buy them from Ariens, etc, and wondering if the univerals are as good?

Here is my blower, 9hp, 29" Craftsman:

I added an Ariens cab to my Craftsman 928 blower.  The cab makes a world of difference if you have any kind of wind while you are blowing.  Only problem I have had with the cab is that the plastic windshield got a crack in it where it creases, as I was lightly tapping on it to get rid of snow that had accumulated on it.   Guess maybe it was too cold for the plastic - they should come up with a plastic that is more cold-resistant.

One other consideration is that the cab will add a little weight to the back of the blower, so you may want to compensate by adding a little weight to the bucket.
