MacGarage: Not to hi-jack the thread but I have the very same snow cab. Looking at your pic, you have room to raise the cab a couple inches. I can raise the cab a bit more but it will not fit through the garage door. It is not a problem...just something I had to get used to.

The theory is good if you have a choice.
+1. I also have to shoot the snow to the west, where the wind always comes from, or so it seems. Otherwise, I'd violate the other Directive; "do not throw snow onto thy neighbour's lawn or driveway". The best part of having the cab will be not having to zip up every single jacket or pant pocket or risk filling them with blow-back snow. My face and eyes will also thank me. P.S. Thanks for all the replies and especially the nice pics.

Got my boxed Ariens sno-thro cab kit yesterday and started putting it together in the living room while watching hockey. It is made by Classic Accessories and seems very decent. (It even has two salt / beer holders inside.) One question I have for anyone that knows or may have installed one on a Deluxe 28 or similar, prior to me possibly guessing wrong and wasting time, is do I mount the thing "high" or "low" as in the first picture below? That is this evening's project once I drive home through the current storm and first finish the driveway....thanks!

One question I have for anyone that knows or may have installed one on a Deluxe 28 or similar, prior to me possibly guessing wrong and wasting time, is do I mount the thing "high" or "low" as in the first picture below? OK, no answers so far, so here is some info for future search-engine result seekers of the same question with regards to the Ariens Deluxe 28; ignore the sno-cab manual's two options, you will have to mount the brackets even higher to make clearance for the chute's ice-auger rotation - i.e. higher than in the below photo. The brackets have to be mounted on the "45 degree" sections of the tubes, just below the console shroud, as high as you can go. The thing is huge, garage door height clearance is solved for me by tilting the Ariens backwards as I pass under the door, no probs. The beer holders are great!
