This farmer in Nebraska looked me dead in the eye and asked if I could 'make his tractor sound less angry' after I fixed the injector pump.

I was under the hood of his old John Deere 4020, and he just stood there waiting for an answer, completely serious, like I had a volume knob for diesel clatter.

My uncle's old Ford 5000 had a rhythmic knock that sounded like a tired man sighing, and he swore it ran better that way.

Told him that clatter just meant it was working hard.
