Default Spring cleaning--pull the tins

Not a Cadet, not even a lawn mower, but a great example why you need to periodically pull off the sheet metal and clean the cooling fins on your air cooled engine if it runs in dirty environments--I guess pressure washers and generators are exempt. Anyway, this is on my ancient New Holland hay baler with a model TF Wisconsin engine. I always have blown it off with it running using a leaf blower every time we are done. Sometimes I even use a "non-OSHA-approved" blow gun on the manifold side to get in what few cracks there are. Lets just say it has been many years since I had pulled any of the sheet metal, I'll be pulling the top piece once or twice a year from now on.
