[QUOTE="jakeboy, post: 1681452, member: 6432"] Thank you David! The cabs on the 525s were known to many as coffins!! For various reasons! For one they looked the same shape!! Any wiring routed into the operators station through the cab panel quickly chaffed through with the vibration causing electrical fires!! Most operators would suffer heat stroke!! When the roof top cab chillers packed up!! Providing they worked in the first place!!?? Also with the majority of fires emanating from in and around the engine bay any quick access lifting up the engine bay cover was thwarted by the cab panel!! Losing vital time to stick the old extinguisher in, which usually was not bigger than a smartie tube!! So fat lot of good! But you are definitely right the dust is a killer!! my cousin had to Finnish work aged 50 and died at 52 through lung disease caused by dust from his combine driving for a large estate cutting over a thousand acres yearly during sixties and seventies!! But he absolutely loved his job!! Never wanted to do anything else!! He had no regrets, and enjoyed every working day!! How many today can say that!!? I have an old Massey combine brochure which quotes!! Unlike our competitors machines the operators are sat to the side of the feed elevator away from the harmful dust!!?? Bet my cousin could argue that point!! Regards All [/QUOTE]
