[AT] Ford 3600

[Cecil R Bearden]

Mentioning the 3 cylinder engine......    I have hearing loss in my 
right ear from 14hr days on a MF50 diesel as a kid. The muffler is right 
under your right foot.   If you spend a lot of time on the tractor you 
might want to wear earplugs or hearing protection.
