Yep that's what I'm thinking ofWas it a kind of white box like thing 2 foot x 2 foot ish 6 inch tall ?. Similar things where fitted to the likes of Track Marshall crawlers, but I don’t think it was “true” air con.

Yep been there myself. Was always glad when I turned into the wind and could open the cab door. To let some fresh air in without dust.I remember baling straw in a 50 a field back in the 90s putting string on round bales so it was a slow job, no ac and it took some sticking on a hot day, the cab would get into the high 40,s.
Was that the round front sound guard or the older cab?Dad have a brand new JD 4230 in -73 with AC , I was 17 and it was lightyears in front of other tractors in comfort!
Not as bad as you would think, doors taken off and a breeze would flow through, they weren't exactly air tight anyway.I dread to think how farmers off 60s coped in the weather cabs fitted back then plastic windows and metal, that would been greenhouse atmosphere
Would think be testing driving a tractor in height of summer no cab and sun beating down, sun and wind can be factor in getting burns,Not as bad as you would think, doors taken off and a breeze would flow through, they weren't exactly air tight anyway.
That's name from past allis chalmersAllis Chalmers were one of the first to offer it in the mid 60’s, also an option on JD 20 series in ‘69.
Factory fitted as standard on the MF1155 from ‘72.
A good few American automobile manufacturers had it listed as an option during the ‘60’s.

Heated back windows so you didn't get cold hands push starting it in winter?Zetor were manufacturer that offered some things other mainstream brands didn't as standard

No,Is that an old girlfriend?

Only pulling your leg...
I remember the Massey combines in the seventies had a system where you filled a five gallon can with water, and it squirted it into the air as it left the fan, as a fine mist. Remember my physics at school, it was the 'latent heat of evaporation'Wasn't there a rudimentary version fitted to to the top of class combines or was that something different?
