Rain Caps

Ebay is where I've been getting them since the local CaseIH dealer started selling the ugly ones. The only thing I couldn't find, was one of the square tail ones in 5". That was over a decade ago, so who knows about what you will find now.

I think I know which ones you are talking about.... There's like three different versions, the round style, the "upwing", and the "downwing".
I prefer the "upwing"...but those aren't available in smaller sizes......so......I made my round style into what I wanted.
I'll try to remember and get a pic later.

Wonder if anyone remembers  the brand of cast raincap that used a pinch clamp that gripped the pipe with a couple of fingers… the cap itself had a pointy fin that angled upwards ; looked a little like a weather vane

They were hard to find 10 years ago. I asked the same question then and didn't get any satisfactory answers. It took many hours of searching, several pages back in the google results to find the correct style in the correct size.

Steiner does seem to have an assortment of them.

The style Matt shows is called the Mercury Cap.........made by Mercury Mfg of Chicago. 

IIRC..the largest cap they build in this style is 24 inch diameter...

Yes, that is the style Im looking for. 2 1/2 and 3". I will stop by my dealer, they have the round style made in India ones. Maybe they can order the Mercuries for me.

The good ‘ol ‘rattle cap’. Don’t know how many times over the years, grabbing a hammer and beating a rain cap just enough so it didn’t ‘rattle’. LOL!! Those were the days.

We used to keep an appropriate sized juice can on hand that would fit tightly over the Super M muffler. The wind couldn't disturb it and when the Super fired on startup it would launch the can straight up 30 feet with a loud report.

Works good until some smart aleck puts the can on, when parked in the shed!! lol.

Chock Full-O-Nuts seems to make the only good ones anymore, Foldgers and Maxwell house have gone plastic and other manufacturers have gone to paper cans.
