An impressive tractor! :beer2:

That is a great looking tractor Stan. You have been very busy.

You will want to divert the exhaust to the front or side the noise at ear level is bad .Been there .May think about a stack brace also a lot of stack wobbling around.

Thanks for the sage advice Mike. I plan to make a mount for the belt tensioner today and then possibly add a brace from that to the exhaust stack to cut down on vibration.

My Yanmar turbo has the exhaust come out of the turbo,
in to a small muffler,
then, down towards the ground.

I REALLY like not having branches try to take off the exhaust pipe!! :bigthink:

AND,,, it ALL fits under the hood! :biggrin2:

John I think you posted on the wrong forum, you need to go to WFM. They are all into that green stuff. LMAO :biggrin2:

I think all of the Yanmars are the same color underneath,,, :biggrin2:

:ExtremeFunny:

Saw this at a show, they did a good job. (Sorry about the size, can't get it any bigger)

Last thing on the to do list was to make a mount for the belt tensioner on the cooling fan. Using the original mount as a drill pattern, I drilled the holes in a piece of 1/4" x 2 1/2" x 4 1/2" flat stock. That put the tensioner right back in it's original position.

The beast runs! I took Mike's advice and added a tip out to the top of the stack. That tamed the noise and got the smoke headed away from the operator. As soon as it quits raining and I figure out how to post a video I'd take from my cell phone, I'll post one of it running. Thanks to everyone for your kind comments. This was a fun build.
