How'd it go today?

What's the pipe on the exhaust, Jim? Anti spark contraption?

Does that tractor have one of those gated shifters that is harder to figure out than a Rubik's cube?

It's an aftermarket exhaust aspirator.

It uses a venturi in the exhaust pipe to create an area of low pressure.

Atmospheric pressure entering the air cleaner then will push dirt through the tube to the exhaust outlet to be expelled out with the exhaust.


It's designed to "pre clean" a little dirt out before it gets to the air filter.


No, this tractor has the 8 speed power shift. Not the complex shift pattern.

How are things going on the farm Jim? Look like it's gonna be a decent year?

Not as bad as last year for sure. Not a runaway either...but after all those years of drought we are starting to rebuild soil moisture.

Gonna have some hay anyway. Our cover crops are not doing so good though. They are going to need a rain.

That looks better than my truck! Frame in decent shape?

Frame is good. Body has some holes.
