Spring-Loaded, Fold-Down Exhaust Pipe For Tractor
Leland Jordal, Mexico, New York: "I made this spring-loaded, fold-down exhaust
pipe for my tractor. Now, if the pipe hits a tree branch or other low-lying obstacle, I don't end up with a broken or cracked manifold. It consists of two L-shaped pipes. One comes up out of the tractor hood from the manifold. The bottom of the æL' on the top pipe fits loosely over the lower pipe, so it pivots back and forth in line with direction of travel. I put a door spring in front and back of the pipe, so if I hit anything, the pipe springs right back up."
