[AT] OK, did somebody leave the list exhaust stack uncovered?

[John Hall]

Never had it happen to any of our tractors but have worked on several that 
did. I had an ID-9 and an Oliver 70 that left the shop in pcs due to this 
problem. No big loss as I bought them for scrap price and sold them to 
collectors for a lot more $$
 About 10 years ago there were 2 Farmall M's near here that were kept under 
sheds. Both sheds leaked into the exhaust and ruined the engines. One 
tractor was junked, the other was bought by a friend who found out just how 
expensive restoring one could be. He actaully put it to use in his haying 
operation pulling a large tedder and a tandem rake set-up. Had to recover 
his money somehow!
