[AT] Tractor Shop weatherproofing

[Cecil R Bearden]

I use those noodles for insulation and also to fill in the gaps between 
the hood and the radiator on my 7030 Allis.  They also work great to 
close gaps in some of the old cabs.   I bought a bunch this year at the 
end of the summer at Wal Mart for 25 cents each.    They close these out 
at the end of the season.  you just have to be thee at the right time.
