Santa should bring you a compressor and air tools for Xmas!
I've never had an axle nut not come off and no more pounding on u-joints to get them out

Though I basically agree with your sentiment, this is the EPA we're talking about. They like all Federal Agencies have no sense of reality. They live in a City and get upset when the Neighbor's dog takes a dump on their lawn.
Seems to me that the "dust" behind a combine really isn't dust at all, but plant material and pollen, the result of separating grain from the plant. The remains of the plant are chucked out the back of the machine and the grain goes in the hopper. Messy process, but it either that or doing it the old fashioned way with a gang of men picking and shucking corn. I think Combines also Hull it for you.
Could this machine be "cleaned up", well sure. But it would kill farmers to buy the new 270K machines when theirs are not even paid for yet.
Not Combined related... Soil "dust" is an issue in Nebraska. They really need to plant things that cover the soil in the fall like we do here (Winter Wheat). One October my YJ got sandblasted on I80 for about 50miles. At one point, I couldn't see the truck 10ft in front of me.
Ron, combine harvesters are ALREADY that expensive? 100% dust reduction? That machine is dead. Whatever replaces it would probably add a zero to the price tag.
Your attempt to split hairs regarding dust won't wash, either. Their definition does not care about origin, but particle size and possibly density.

X2 had it towed to work where I had air and had it off in less than 3 seconds. In less than 1hr I had the hub out, ujoint in, waited for oriellys to deliver the new hub, hub in, hub back out, back in, and then found out they sent the wrong hub. The brake rotor doesn't fit over the hub. I'm not having a good day at all....:flamemad:

My house is relatively close to Austin Straubel Airport. Planes fly overhead all day, every day. Do I hear them? Not much. Once in a while you get a big one coming from the north in and it shakes the house, but otherwise it's just one other thing I have learned to tune out. And I'm in the same boat with you. Often times we will sit out on the back patio drinking and listening to the engines and watch the flashing lights go down behind the trees.
Now, my hometown in Indiana has trains that go through all the time. Those I do not hear either. I've lived in numerous houses that are within a quarter mile of the tracks (and it was always the wrong side) and could not only hear every train that went by, some cases the whole house would shake. Didn't help it was a mobile home. But Meganne absolutely goes nuts when we go to see my folks. I don't hear them until she mentions it. Then I'm grateful that I have the ability to not hear them because it just is what it is. Kind of relaxing in some sense.

this was a huge problem when i lived in virginia beach. people who lived within seeing distance of oceana naval base complained about the increased jet noise after 2011... ummm, excuse me. the base was there first.

I live next to a railroad track and a skeet shoot club. I hear guns and trains daily. While I was in college I lived in a house like 20 feet from the tracks in Vincennes. Trains go through there like every hour. I could sleep through anything now.
In other news. The belt on the jeeps squeeking loud. Ive cleaned pulleys. tried a different belt I had. No dice. I can clean it and itll quit for a bit but then come back. Sandpaper on the belt helps for a bit too. I think Im going to try a new belt next. Any other thoughts?

You sure it's a belt and not a bad tensioner or pully.

My childhood home in GB is on approach to Austin Straubel runway 18 as well. I lived on Hwy 41 in Houghton with logging trucks constantly rumbling past. In Stevens Point I lived near the trainyard. Never had an issue with all the noise, you just learn to tune it out.
The tri-oval dirt track at the Brown County Fairgrounds is no longer used for regular racing due to complaints of neighboring residents. Sad really...
What's really neat is if the wind was right you could hear the dirt trackers in Seymour (8.5 miles away) on or fans cheering at Lambeau (6.7 miles).
Now I bet someone crafty enough could figure out where I grew up.
Need to get around to re-upping here too.

Oh hell, I can hear fans cheering at Lambeau every game. We're only about 3 blocks west of the stadium. Well, that's a little exaggeration...We're west of 41, but still close. I could plainly hear lyrics from Kid Rock when he was singing at the opener.

Actually, I guess I was low in price. I went to the Case site just now. Their Cheapest is $284K, then you buy the head @ 50K for their smallest.
You can get a dust screen, but I don't know what kind of reduction you'll get out of it; certainly not 100%.
I get your argument about dust, but they weren't talking about field dust, but dust behind Combines. My comment about NE's dust bowl issue was more to that point. We can't have open areas covered with nothing, we learned that in the 20's, why do we have to relive it?

Probably not tight enough. Serpentine belts need to be tight enough to play dueling banjos on, one Jeep at a time.

A-10 Warthogs doing strafing runs the last few nights, up until about 11pm.. I can feel it in the floor of my house. Makes me want to go outside and yell AMERICA! ....... YEAH! My dog doesn't understand the deep bellowing sound that seems to come from everywhere, it's quite funny.

Is that a Dare?
OK, I triple dog dare you
Notice how I so boldly skipped both the "I Dare You!" and the "I Double Dare You!" and got right to business. I should be on the Board of Directors, or dare I say it... Wisconsin Governor :scottm:
