Stretch grading Church parking lot. He seems perfectly satisfied to just do grading jobs and garden work. Much better with muffler.

Nice to see it working Ron.
Here's a couple of city girls I saw a year or two ago.
They had their best shoes and dresses on but no one was asking them to dance.

Nice tractors Jerry, no dancing here though this is a Baptist church. LOL

I always find it sad and in a way funny how some one could sink so much money into tractors like that but cant aford a proper exahst cap, and instead resort to a tacky coffee can (at least they are smart enough to do something, but still). Sence those two are for sale, it makes me wonder what else the seller was too cheap to do right.
 
Only a comment. My tractors have exhaust caps but with the right wind conditions the wind will open them and hold them open. When I park mine I put a heavy, metal water pail over the caps to keep the wind, rain and snow out.
 
David I have some tractors with rain caps on and some without. I don't want to sit and listen to the rain cap rattle when it is at a idle so I have taken them off and used a tin can when they sit outside. I know one guy that is very particular on his tractors and will not skimp on any repair and when his tractors sit out they have a tin can on the exhaust. Some people may skimp but not everyone.

Two cylinder John Deeres can be an exception for rain caps. With their slow idle and 180-540 staggered firing, some times a rain cap can bang shut on nearly every putt. It gets old really fast.
 
I have removed and junked several of those do nothing but drive you crazy with the racket and will not close to keep out the rain. And the junk is where they belong. A can is way better in keeping out water.

I usually cut one end off of handheld propane torch tanks and use them because they seem to be a heavier guage than bean or soup cans and last for a long time. They go on old worn out engines as well as on ones I've spent a ton of money on taking no short cuts.

I bought an old MH 44 one time the PO just had a flat rock sitting across the top of the pipe. Said it'd been there for years....motor was not stuck even though the rear end was half full of water and brakes were rusted and stuck.
 
I put a can on one of my newly restored tractors at a show one time. In my haste to join the parade I fired up, the can went up, and landed right smack on my new painted hood. Ouch!
