Heat houser is a term I haven't heard in many years.

It was the down'n'dirty alternative to a cab for those who used construction machines or tractors in the winter.

It is basically a tarpaulin that closes off the sides (and usually bottom too) of the engine compartment and then widens out around the operators station. Many of them featured see-through front and side curtains also. The whole affair does two things, keeps the motor, etc., warmer by tunneling the warm air from the radiator the whole length of the drivetrain, and keeps the operator warm by directing a good portion of the airflow off the radiator past them.

I can remember using several of our tractors equipped with them in the winter, unless the wind was really blowing it kept you quite comfortable.

Best of luck. ....
