Fifth go-around? I've never seen this subject discussed here before?!
To each his own, but IMHO an old Farmall is not complete without a proper POINTED-counterweight rain cap on top of the muffler. Those dumb round counterweight rain caps belong on Massey Fergusons and Allis Chalmerses. Baloney cut stacks belong on John Deeres and Cases.
As for where the counterweight points... To the side that's closest to the edge of the hood. If the stack comes out the left side of the hood, point the counterweight left. If the stack comes out the right side, point the counterweight right.
Forward catches on everything.
Backward looks retarded and deflects all the exhaust straight in your face.
BTW I like the rattle. If you don't have that tap-tap-tap of the rain cap while the tractor is idling, it just doesn't sound right to me.
