Hi;
Where do you buy your exhaust rain flappers?
I would like to buy or build flappers for my tractor and
diesel generator(under construction).
Anyone build any from scratch?
Any photos or links to photos with good closeups ?
Thanks

I bought mine from Tractor Supply Company. They had an assortment of sizes for different diameter exhaust pipes.

Hey shoppintractors...
Really embarrased how that basketbrawl game came out...
especially since the Pistons originally came from right here in Fort Wayne,INDIANA!!! (Fort Wayne Zollner Pistons) LOL

ourfarm,this is just a personal opinion,but,you might consider using a exhaust turnout instead of a flapper,after 25 years of hearing those flappers on tractor trailers (i'm a mechanic) constantly clap,clap,clapping at idle i don't ever want to hear it again!! plus a turnout can be rotated to point the exhaust fumes away from you.just a thought!

I bought mine from TSC. It lasted about a week, and when it fell apart, I was so happy for the silence again, I never replaced it.

I like the idea of turning the pipe out instead of a flapper. The noise will just drive you crazy!!!!!!

i always liked that, sorta a heavy duty sound, i even used to have a lawn tractor that had a flapper on it

I had added flapcaps to all my verticle exhaust tractors, and kinda liked the rattle a bit. I think I got mine from TSC. However my latest tractor.. a 7610s.. has a turnout permanently installed, so After i park it under the shade structure.. I also use the 'can' route

I purchased one from tractor supply for my NNA, the flapping drove me more nuts than I already am so I drilled a 3/8" hole in it and added a 3/8" bolt and enought washers to counter balance it, now it works great and doesn't make any noise!
