Ariens Branded Sno-Thro Cab 72408000
Original Message   Dec 19, 2010 10:10 pm

Searched here for info and thread went from 2005-2008. My questions:

  • Will this fit behind the newer "external" lights as on the Deluxe 28?
  • I assume that the ice drill chute control will fit/work since it is not new, right?
  • For CA$151 am I getting premium Ariens product or not much above the subCA$100 more generic units at Lowe's/HD etc?
  • Is snow sticking to the windows an always present problem?
  • Saw it at hd.com for US$139 but no longer, best price where?
  • Any comments from those having used cabs.

Thanks for any tips. (May have to let Santa know about this product and have him put it on my wish list.)

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!

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!
