JamesC-120 204 #1 Posted March 7, 2014 Does anyone have the problem of putting a stack on your tractor and getting black juices splattered on you hood and on your tractor? Does anyone have any ideas of how to fix this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kennedy 136 #2 Posted March 7, 2014 I get those splatters on my farm tractor not my horse. I only get it on initial start up, after it warms up it stops. I am guessing it is oil making its way out the exhaust. Sorry I am no more help than this. Mark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JimD 3,347 #4 Posted March 7, 2014 To try and answer your question I would suspect that you have some blow-by from worn rings and/or your tractor is running rich and you are exhausting unburned excess oil and fuel. You could try leaning your mixture and installing a rain cap on the stack if you don't have one. Turn the cap so the hinge is toward the hood and it opens way from the tractor so it deflects the emissions away from the hood. I'm sure others will have more ideas to help. Good luck! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kegler 68 #5 Posted March 7, 2014 You used to be able to find curved tail pipe tips for the back of cars. Most auto parts stores carried them. If you could find one that fits your pipe you could point it away from your tractor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hodge71 665 #6 Posted March 7, 2014 Does anyone have the problem of putting a stack on your tractor and getting black juices splattered on you hood and on your tractor? Does anyone have any ideas of how to fix this? I have the same problem for the first 15 seconds when I fire my 18 Auto up in the cold . Once the muffler gets warm the water vapor no longer condenses in the pipes and splatters on the hood. I just keep my hood waxed constantly and wipe it off with a wet towel. Im not sure how its going to run in the summer as its much warmer then. I may not have the problem of condensed exhaust water vapor like I do in the winter when plowing or getting firewood.

MalMac 1,332 #7 Posted March 7, 2014 What you are probably experiencing is just the quick condensation that normally occurres at start up. That mixes with alittle of black carbon in your exhaust and Bingo you got black little water droplets spitting everywhere. You just notice them because you have a stack. What comes up must come down. Like said if you put a curve or elbo on there it might help some. You just got to get it away from the tractor. Your lucky it's not a diesel then you would be talking black soot. What you got is a byproduct of running a stack. Some are worst than others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
