Flapper for Exhaust

[RoyJackson]

I know this has been discussed before on one of the TBN forums, but does anyone have a lead on where to buy a flapper for an exhaust stack?
It would be for a Deere 790.


Thanks in advance, guys!

The last one I got I picked-up at TSC. Also, I think there is a gut selling them over the net, but I can't remember his site address. Maybe a search under tractor parts/accessories would work.

TSC, Agri-Supply, SHoup, Valu-Bilt, Sloan Express, Most any equipment dealer.....

On the same topic.... (This is like the over/under thing with toilet paper) Flap opens forward/backward??????

I prefer the "hinge" to the rear. BUT.... A couple of my tractors are turbo-charged. They get trailered from time to time. It's best to have the hinge FORWARD, so the wind pushes the flap down. That prevents air being forced down the exhaust stack, which can spin the turbo impeller (in SOME cases).

There's a dozen theories on why this does happen/can't happen/shouldn't happen/happened to me.

I did a search and found that tractorpartsinc offers six different size caps.

I bought the one I had on my B7100 from TSC. Just need to measure the diameter of the tractor's exhaust and TSC had several sizes.

I found the cheapest priced (and probably nicest built) one at my CO-op.

I put the hinge 90 degrees to the tractor body. It seems to keep the smoke out of my face the the best that way.

ummm, i always liked the hinge to be forwards, but maybe that blows more smoke in your face??? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif as for trailering, never have, though people i know ONLY back their tractors on, so i guess the flapper would face the other way.

oh yea... toilet paper goes over /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I like the hinge to the front. Working around tree branches, it seems to lessen limbs jerking on it. Of course, in reverse it gets more abuse.
