Dumbest Question Yet

I've forgotten how noisey these old tractors are. Last time I used my tractor, I couldn't hear for about 6 hours.

Where does a guy find a set of those ear protectors; the "mickey mouse", "outside" ones?

Thanks,

Allan

You can also get their Worktunes for less than $100 - no "tin ear", but nice radio. I spent too much time on a tractor as a kid so I am paying for it now. I use the Alert for everything - chainsaws, weedwackers, tractors, even carpentry. Worth the $150 or so dollars!

I used to have a couple of sets of those things that when not in use, would just hang on the grab rails of the tractor.

Left 'em outside in all kinds of weather and they still always seemed to do the job, for years on end. I think they were around something like $30 or so?

I just don't listen to the darned radio anyway; plus, I need to be able to hear the machinery.

Thanks Bud,

Back in the early eighties, moved to Chicago for a while, and had to catch the "L" (over and under subway). When them things went underground into the tunnels, was deafening. Once seen an elderly poor guy sitting there, and he stuffed a nickle in each ear. Not bad. Not sure how he got them out though. Maybe not good. LOL.

Yes, you are probably right. I'll see if I can keep that old camera hog off here. :>)

BTW That weren't a dumb question.

Nope, that be the factory muffler straight from CaseIH.

It isn't the exhaust that is noisey on these old things, anyway. It is the engine noise. The 360Ds are worse yet fer some darned reason. The 360s will flat scramble your brains. :>(

I haven't been here much lately, so I must have missed the coming out party. :)

Yeah, where the heck ya been? :>)

Yes, that's the one that was in the shop since forever and broke the bank to get it outta hock. Here's the "before and after" pics. :>)

Just plain forgot how noisey those old 966s are. No wonder my ol pee brain doesn't work right anymore. :>)

I decided I'd better go back to work to support my toys. Now I don't have any time for toys. 60 mile one way commute around Chicago on the "Don't even try-state". After 3 months, I guess they're gonna keep me, so maybe I can start slipping in here from work :)

1066 (I think) down the road with a for sale sign on it.

You should have seen it when I found out that the brakes weren't working right. Embarrased to show that picture. I just about lost her down over the side of a 20 foot drop.

Went tearing into the local shop that had rebuilt the brakes and he says that he didn't replace that innermost disc with the pad glued to it and thinks that the pad had come loose from the disc.

Anyway, they say they'll fix 'er up, but in the meantime, she hasn't turned a wheel. I'm still shaken over that one. :>(

The worktunes block all the loud noise, and I can still hear any 'odd' sounds or sounds that don't belong so I can hear if something comes loose, brushhog wraps up some wire, etc.

Luckily I have all the wire picked up around our place now, but its amazing how stuff keeps coming out of the ground...
