One issue I have had in the past is keeping the front of the radiator screen clean of the leaf dust. I have been thinking of making a screen extension to mount on the front of the grill. ... kind of shaped like a box, but made of hardware cloth and maybe cover that with window screen or some kind of foam/paper filter material.

This would give me more filtering area before the dust actually reaches the factory screen. I remember some old tractor mounted corn pickers had a filter kit that mounted over the grill.

Anyone ever do something like this/ or have another idea?
Are you talking about the grill on the front of the tractor or the screen on the motor intake?
