Used the B26 and rear finish mower to blow leaves and chop up leaves on a 1/2 mile driveway. Noted black exhaust smoke when under load. At the shop stopped to check air cleaner. Packed with small acorns around the filter. Luckily no damage. Tied new dryer sheets in engine compartments of the tractors, trucks and car seem to help. In the shop have sealed metal cabinets to keep them from destroying expensive tools. Buy $5 government metal filing cabinets, tack sheet metal on the bottom to keep all the equipment filters and maintenance items clean.
