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.
