Both the 2-155 and 2-135 I looked at happened to be series II tractors, digital tach/hours/pto speed but over under and throttle on the dash.
The series 3 is supposed to be much quieter and folks always say its because the old ones the cab is somehow less isolated and attached to the fuel tank. The one I just looked at had the sheet metal off, and fuel tank out. The cab doesn't seem to be attached to anything, just a box shape where the fuel tank nestles. Could the brackets be adjusted to not connect to the cab somehow to reduce sound transmission? I'm assuming the series 3 has more substantial cab isolators and sound deadening too.
