Kubota L4240 Engine Temp Question.....

KenB2920,

I'm wanting to add one of these to my tool box, but can't seem to find one for sale. You mentioned amazon, I did a search but no luck. What would you call the thing? Perforated Air Wand? Looks like it would work perfectly especially on air filters.

Thanks

Harbor Freight has an "air blow gun" that they sell for $3.99...
Looks like to me you could mod it if needed...
May work OK as is...
Going to get me one and try it out...

Air Blow Gun with 2 ft. Extension

Search for "Air Comb" you'll be able to find them that way.

They also sell a wand called a "Radiator Genie" a few say they like them.

I have a long air gun where the tip is bent at a 45 or so. Got it at Northern years back, but don't see it on the web site now. Works well for most tasks like this, though it is pretty much cheap crap. I could see the nozzle with the holes in one side being even more handy. Easy to make too, with some leftover copper tubing, like from an ice maker install kit. Drill holes, crimp or solder end, then just adapt it with a compression fitting or two to the gun body.

This is the item I have. They have a few lengths but the 24" works perfect. Probably over priced but has probably paid for itself in saving my engines.

I do have the 3.99 one from harbor fright as well. It serves it's purpose and is great but doesn't hold a candle to the air comb for radiators.

I agree it can be made much cheaper. But the diameter is about that of a pencil so it fits well between all the radiators.

Some good videos on YouTube with it.
They sold me on it...

Yep, I have one of these and it really does the job. I got mine from a Kubota dealer.
