Ok guys thanks for all your tips. I will take all of your advise. Ditch the back, and lessen the weight on the front to 25 pounds, (dump out some sand in the bag). I like the idea about the anti fog. I will get some of that and use it on a ski mask for that extra layer of protection from the cold. thx.

no back is ok when it is in the mid to upper 30's, but when the windchill goes down to 25 below zero, I want my snow cab be a real cab. I know most of the time it doesn't get that cold, but hey our winters in Ohio have been getting worse and worse.

I have a 28" Craftsman "SnowKing" Snow Thrower Model no. 887900. Yesterday I just mounted a new classic assesories delux snowcab. However for maximum protection I added a piece of thick clear soft plastic on the back, to make it fully enclosed.
A few questions:
1) I noticed standing there that it fogged up fast. Do you guys think this will continue to be a problem that will be too hard to deal with by wiping it off? Maybe I should just use paper towels and wipe the inside down a lot, or use something to lessen the fog build up?
2) Maybe I should just take the plastic down and keep the back open, I really like the idea of a fully closed back, but if it is going to give me problems then I don't want it.
3) Should I offset the front auger with weight? I was thinking a 50 pound bag of sand should do the trick. Is that way too much?
Ok will listen to hear what you have to say. Thank you.
