Muffler flap for S470D

[Steve777]

My Buck has an after market FEL on it. To get the muffler out of the way of the FEL, they rotated it 90 degrees, so that it now faces up. This leaves it open to rain and snow when it's not running.

I'd like to find one of those weighted flaps that are normally closed on a vertical muffler but swing open when the exhaust is coming out. Not sure what they are called, how they are sized or who would sell them.

Any suggestions?

TIA

Sometimes called a "rain cap", sometimes an "exhaust cap" and you don't say where you live in your profile, but I bought mine several years ago at Tractor Supply Co.. As you can see, they come in a variety of sizes. Personally, I never minded hearing it rattle at times, but some people do, so they just put a tin can over the exhaust when they aren't using the tractor. That works, too, as long as you don't forget to do it.
