John: As if straddle that transmission on a hot day wasen't enough, add a hot foot to it. I remember being at farm where they had 3 tractors equiped with berry harvesters. One was a Utility and the young operator was blessing that tractor. Hot foot plus you didn't dare wear shorts for fear of burning legs on transmission. They certainly weren't much on long hot days.

When I bought my 1066 it came without air. Young operator was complaining, when are they going to install the air. One day he surprised me, he had two thermometers one in cab the other tied to side of transmission case. One in cab was reading 125 degrees and on transmission 140. I don't know how that compares with older 30 to 50 hp tractors. I know you can get burns that will leave marks on your arm from 300 transmission and hydraulics on hot days. Best to be up in the air above all that.

Yes, I will agree if vertical exhaust is not above your head, they can be miserable both with sound and fumes.
