[AT] Hey, I did something old tractor today

[Cecil R Bearden]

I cut the bottom out of my old spin on oil filters and use the can to 
cover exhaust pipes.  The can is heavier than soup cans and the dome top 
prevents water from standing in the top and rusting out.  I have a lot 
of engines that have set for a few years...The filter is usually longer 
than a normal can.   Those spin on hyd oil filters work great for the 
big diesel exhausts...
