[AT] in cab refrigerators?

[charlie hill]

Paul I'm sitting her now listening to the near constant ringing in my ears 
from tractors with no mufflers, diesel engines with turbo chargers and open 
mufflers,  750 CFM diesel compressors pushing sand blasting rigs and various 
other noisy industrial equipment.

When I was 15 I pulled the muffler off the M for a day when plowing.  And
yes, days started with you in the field at first light and ran until dark
enough you could not see the furrow. My uncle did not believe in lights ...
if you could not get it done during daylight, then it did not get done
(except milking of course, feeding hogs).  The old M sounded great at the
start of the day, and even during the day you could see some flame, and as
dusk settled in, it got real pretty.  I only did this once, the roar at
bedtime was unreal.  So the rest of the days I just watched it turn cherry
red at dusk.

Regarding mufflers, dad ran the 2 M's here with no mufflers for years. When
asked why he has no idea. Just recently he remarked how stupid it was. He
and one of the operators were talking about nice it was once they put the
mufflers back on. My thoughts are they were young and were entertained by
the flames out the stack at night.
