Looks like an old "soft" cab from before the ROPS came out. On some of those older machines the ROPS canopies were retrofitted after the machine had been working for a while.

i ran a 37c with only a rops, but when the weather turned cold we had a big piece of plywood with a door, and a hole cut into the firewall, i got pretty efficient at swapping the front fran around, if the wind wasnt really bad it would stay pretty warm as long as you kept busy, keep the vids coming
