[AT] Hey, I did something old tractor today

[Wrench50 at aol.com]

One time when I finished using my IH 656. I lifted the muffler off, which  
left a short stub pipe that was not long enough to stick thru the sheet 
metal  than put a cut off plastic soda bottle over the pipe. It was a little hot 
yet  but I was in a hurry. The next time I used the tractor that soda 
bottle had  shrunk around that pipe like a piece of shrink tube and was hard as a 
rock. I  had a heck of a time getting that bottle off that pipe trying to 
work under the  sheet metal.  Del MI

I just  told Diana to save me about 4 to 6 empty salmon cans... They are
about the  right size to use to cap an exhaust pipe when a top exhaust
tractor needs  to sit out. Not all of mine have a flapper cap. A screen door
spring works  well to attach to the open rim and hook down "somewhere" on
the tractor. I  have used a bungie or a tarp strap but you don't want to be
slapping a  piece of rubber up against a hot muffler and walk away.
I could just wait  for the muffler to cool down but by then I would forget
to cover the  stack.

OK, it wasn't much but it was old tractor.
