George 2 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 A friend of mine has a 8920 with less than 2000 hours. Lately a creaking noise has developed in the cab even when going over fairly smooth tilled land. He wonders if the noise could be coming from the windshield where it joins the cab although it seems to be higher possibly in the overhead console. Anybody have a similar experience with a Magnum and what was the cause and remedy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitty Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 It could be the window is coming loose from the hi viscosity uerethane . We had a maxxum that had the window come loose and it squeaked badly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gearclash Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Had a funny creak in my MX135 cab that turned out to be a mirror breakaway pivot. A little lube on the pivot ended the noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Kirsch Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Have him jump in a 66 series with a cab and run it for a while. Suddenly the creak won't seem so annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol!! My bets windshield too. Almost need a stethoscope to point it out. My mc135 had squeek, groan this summer. Drove us nuts...nothing showed. Finally went to dealer. Kid said it was annoying too. Wedged 2x4 in cab mount area. Quiet. My mounts for some reason are kinda collapsed so the collar inside is rubbing. Got new ones sitting here....dont look as easy as I thought but hoping next week to stop the insanity. So dumb but man it drives you bonkers after few minutes.

So true after 4,000 hrs with straight pipes on 1568 with year a round cab and I can't hear a single thing in any of these new tractors. Not even sure they are running.

Powerhouses, you betcha but awkward to get into and out of. Cabs were echo chambers and even more awkward yet to get into and out of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMOKER 1 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 If you know approximately when the noise is coming from, squirt a little wd40 or penetrating oil on the area and see if it stops. I've got a ram truck that does that on the rear window. A shot of p oil ever 3 months stops the squeak. Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
