Loader Discoloration

[AutoUnionTypeC]

I'm having a ton of fun with my CK20, but there is a minor annoyance that’s kind of getting to me. The exhaust is discoloring my loader my beautiful <font color="orange">orange</font> is turning black. I'm sure this must be common to all CK20's. Has anyone figured out a way to deflect the exhaust away from the loader? Regards, Jamie

Mine does the same. Now it looks like a tractor, not the shiny new baby I brought home seven months ago. You could probably grind some more off the inside half of the exhaust pipe to point it down more?

The same thing is happening on our CK30 . Still better than having it blow back in your face or killing you out the back of the tractor while your trying to hook-up the 3-point .

It's normal to all the CKs. It's one of the prices you pay for not having a stack sticking up where it can get knocked off by tree limbs etc.
Just wash it off with a good detergent if it's a real bother. John

This is with 107+ hours. Come spring I'll take care of it. Gerard

No problem. I installed them myself. Here's 1 of 3 angles. Gerard

Gerard do you think that the D-rings work better for you than the weld on chain hooks might?

In my opinion, I think that they are more versatile. Using rope comes into play sometimes and the D-ring(s) let you attach with ease. Chain gets threaded through and then hooked to itself rather easy too. Gerard
