Exhaust conversion from grass burner to stack

[Looking4new]

Did the heat cook your air filter?

That is smoke from the exhaust. The grass burner dumped just in front of the air intake.
The bottom one is new....I can see daylight through it. Not so much on the top one.

I worked on an irrigation motor years ago. It was a small diesel lift pump for flood irrigation. They didn't have the exhaust led very far away from the pump house and the wind swirling the exhaust lead it back inside the pump house. The filter was so plugged the motor wouldn't run any more. Your filter looks pretty pristine compared to the one we pulled off of that little diesel motor.

I cant see through the top one, but I can the bottom/new filter.

Once I had a situation like that so I built an upright exhaust and put a Donaldson pre-cleaner on top. It took all the dirt out first , fixed the exhaust issue and I rarely even had a dirty air cleaner again. You don't see pre cleaners much but on ag equipment or tractors in dusty conditions, they work great.

I was outside puttering around yesterday and took the system apart again. Turned the bottom 45° around and voila I gained the inch clearance from the fuel tank heat shield I was looking for. I need a 1.75" OD to 1.75" ID adapter, which I will get from Canadian Tire on Tuesday, along with another muffler clamp.

I got the adapter this morning. Phone into Canadian Tire and order the part, give them the CC number and when I got there a guy came out and looked at my I.D. and went and got the part. painless, except that I really didn't want to give up the cc for 10 bux worth of stuff. But I also do not want to wait until the goobermint decides it is safe for us all to mingle again. I've got work for the tractor and cannot run it without any exhaust.

A little more 'adaptation' and she is all together. I will see how it performs today when I bury the cat AND get after the lean-to that desperately needs to come down.

I had to cut away more of the hood than I planned, on the left side the script reads KIO 7, on the right side it is a Kioti CK27.
She is all together with the 2.5" stack 30" long. That will do until the 48"x3" stack gets here. Pictures to follow in daylight.

I worked her for an hour today. With her running along side the exhaust pipe I could feel the breeze from the fan. This is a good thing. After the 'social distancing' thingy is over with I will drop into a muffler shop and get a better one piece pipe made. I am thinking stainless steel.

The exhaust sounds sweet, loud and with a very small touch of bass. The bass situation will improve with the 3"x48" stack.
The best thing of all is that now she can breath!

I spelled breathe wrong and this is the only way I can fix it a day later.

It happens when you type to fast don't worry about it .................

It sounds like it will be about 3 weeks before I get the 3x48" stack pipe. By that time I will be back to work and not available for the summer, as usual. This is a normal thing, gone by mid May and back in October.
