Flex-a-Lite model 116 radiator fan 2,215 CFM and 11 amp draw. Stirs up quite a breeze. May help with bugs a night when running lights. Ground speed in reverse slightly faster? :unsure:

Looks good, my luck I would forget and trying to look back at 3 point I would try to stick a finger in it!

What do you have the antenna mounted for? We are often trying to figure a way to communicate. Thanks

Think I'd have just purchased a cabin unit and had real ac and high mount lights and speakers built in. Looks pretty 'cheesy' to me.

If you do not mind a head set you could use your cell phones and a "Blue Parrot"head set. It will cancel out the background noise from the tractor and still let you talk.

It works well in my brothers semi truck. You can not hear the truck at all.

If you wire in a potentiometer you can control the current and make the fan a variable speed unit.

Moving Pictures is my favorite album ever. :cool:

Gosh, we lost Neil Peart.....he was phenomenal in Tom Sawyer.

Never saw them in concert....well, farm boys and restaurant employees didn't see concerts much in my era.... we always had to work.

But we could always listen to them!

I used a pwm unit. It is the dial 0-10.
I was going for the lowest cost and easiest to install. The PWM is probably the better solution but a cheap POT is all I would need. I do like your idea though.

Need taller building - have to fold ROPS - otherwise I too would have a canopy mount.

I don't know what it would cost to buy one, but I think that the lower ROPS from a BX2360 or a BX2350 would fit your model.

I figured it would be better for the fan life. It IS needed, the fan wide open blows a 14mph breeze.
The PWM that you linked to is made in China. I try to stay away from Chinese made electronics. Their reputation in electronics is worse than Japanese electronics were in the early 1960's.

I have had good luck with that. Before I buy anything at all, including electronics, I check the country of manufacture. I sometimes end up paying more for an item but to me it is worth the additional cost to get good quality in the things I buy.
