Chuck: Read what I said to Jimmy. I think there were a lot of cabs fabricated from the same pattern, by different fabricators in various geographic locations.

Skid loaders weren't considered farm equipment back then, thus the Case dealer had been charged duty when this loader came into Canada. I paid the duty then applied to get it back, you wouldn't believe the nightmare trying to convince bureaucrats, a skid loader would be a great machine for barn use feeding cows and scraping up manure.

Probably those same bureaucrats couldn't figure out how a farmer could get cold or wet on a tractor.
