[AT] Another Case VAC question

[Easley, Greg]

The gearing is all straight-cut, so you can expect some gear whine.  Our VAC has a little more gear
noise than our Farmall C, but it's whisper quiet compared to the MM R.

    Farmer;
    Haven't owned a VAC, but have the VAIW and VAI and used to have a VA and
I never noticed any excessive noise from the gears. The VA had loose foot
boards and they vibrated some till I tightened them. Was an annoying sound,
definately not singing though.
