One of my regular customers brought this little guy in for me to get the rear doors and latches working and a few other minor items.   Man, that little cab is a tight squeeze and really hard to climb in and out of!!  No wonder they didn't make many of them!  It's a '39 Minnie Mo RTS.  One of the first tractors with a cab option.  Side windows roll up and down.  Looks like late '30's window mechanism.

Can we say that the cab idea was ahead of its time?

The seat mounts on the small platform on the left side of the cab. It has a back that folds over the seat base so you can climb in or out.  When seated, you need to be a contortionist to reach around to close the doors.  Not a good design!  And no provision for wipers on the windshield.
This tractor must have been the model they used for the tractors in that Disney movie "Cars" that my grandkids love so much.

Wonder how they used the pto...
without getting tangled up in it...
and not wreak the cab while using it.

I have seen a couple January days that a cab would be handy.. No matter HOW HARD it is to get inside !
Like them all, but love the "B"s.

PTO looks like it was never used. Anyway, there is no hole in the back of the cab that a shaft would fit through.  I've heard that these were used quite often for rural mail delivery. With those big skinny drive tires you could usually get through.

You're right, Dale.  I've had a couple of those through my shop.
