XR3037C Noise Problems

PJSprog, thanks for response. I was in cab running 2500 rpm in Medium 4th gear. Shredder was going all windows closed and I measured 93.7 db of noise with my iPhone app. I believe the majority of nois is coming from engine. My little 3 cylinder was rapping out, seems like lot of engine noise. Western star said he had trouble with wiper motor cover. Mine is also making noise, you might want to check yours too. I am going to take the cover off, split some tubing to go around it, and put it back on.

Good enough, I can see what you did. Thanks for picture. My cover is also vibrating on windshield. I am going to put some on mine tomorrow. Thanks for the picture and response so I can fix a problem that is part of my noise problem. Thanks again.

I wasn't really aware of the noise it was making until I was driving it in the rain one day with the wiper going. With it turned off it rattled all the time and I didn't notice it, but when the wiper swept to the other side of the windshield it went away, so it was going on and off and on and off. THAT was irritating! With just the two screws holding it on it can vibrate back and forth. By using one piece on the top and two on the bottom it gave it a 3 point stance.

I too have the wiper cover rattle. The funny thing is it only started doing it in the last few months. I have 77 hrs on it. Tightened all the mounting bolts to the glass and the cover but to no avail. I'll have to do the tubing it's driving me nuts.

Thanks for the remarks, I believe this was a good thread. I know of at least two or three people that this helped. We had poring rain today, did not get to put on mine by I hope to have on by the weekend. How is the noise level inside your cab, does it seem loud. Or is it ok. I was wondering if anyone has the same noise problem with their LS tractor, and if so what did they do to fix it. I guess you could add extra insulation. I know the LS rep. said there was no insulation behind the engine, next to the cowling inside the cab. Maybe that would be a great place to start.

I think it seems reasonable for a cab with so much glass. But I also spend most of my time at or below 2000 rpm. No pto attachments yet. Certainly wouldn't be opposed to quieting it down.
