Startup fumes

[Soundguy]

Um.. how about that aluminum dryer vent hose.. and a dryer flap vent... just have the hose suspended by a string or something and slip it over the exhaust after you park it... perhaps a ?rubber band to hold it on? and then just reach up and slip it off right before you back out?

I don't know how your tractor is set up but on the Kubota BX I just back it in and park near the door. The forward exhaust blows what little smoke it makes out the door.

for me i just start it up(garage doors open) and walk out for a few min. till it warms up.

I back my tractor into the garage and as soon as the engine is running, I put it outside to warm up at idle. In the summer, I just move it to the front of the house while it is at an idle to finish warming. There isn't enough wear on the engine to be concerned with by doing this. Think of the abuse that your car engine withstands because you start it and start driving almost immediately. The car doesn't seem to suffer does it. An engine operation under load, is better than a engine that is running at 1200-1500 RPM under no load. When I allow the engine to come up to temperature during winter months, I always put the tractor into low gear with the brake on, to also warm the transmission oil. Everyone has their own way of warming up their tractor, and for the most part, there is no "right or wrong" way. Just don't start a cold engine and rev the heck out of it....... that is definitely WRONG!!!!!

It's that initial cough into the corner of my garage that annoys me. Since my door stops 3 feet from the wall, the exaust ends up coughing into this corner even if I drive out as soon as it's running (I always back in). I guess when I get it into my new garage, I will park it on the other side so the throat clearing goes outside better, then drive right out as recomended by many of the posters.

Thanks, Cliff

You can always release the brake and push it outside and then start it..... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Oooooooo, the LADY Kenmore 2000, sounds powerful, looks cute. Where do I buy. Can just anyone buy one of the Lady Kenmore 2000's?

Could you take a hose from the exhaust pipe and stick it right back into the intake and give the diesel a taste of it's own medicine? Maybe that would change things.
