See the air cleaner in this very OT pic.
The fellows call it a banjo air cleaner. Sound right to you?

Re: Speaking about banjos. Does this look like a banjo?
Love these!
Got the second "banjo" air cleaner delivered, attached to the rest of the tractor, just this morning before I left for work.
From my junk-man (BIL) and not my regular Twin City Tractor Dealer.
A banjo it is!

There is a book about these contraptions and how to build them yourself

Re: Speaking about banjos. Does this look like a banjo?
Leo, you have always shown a great sense of humor and I thank you too!
Ooh, the 3 string banjo's!
My older brother is getting good at making 3 string, cigar box banjos. A maple neck is the key he says and they do sound good.
If I could easily chord and strum (I haven't been able to pick or play a piano repeatably for 25 years), I'd like to do a dueling banjos sort of thing with my brother at a UWA Central MN wrestling match. Almost too bad these Donaldson banjo air cleaners don't make noise other than help make the sweet babble of a four cylinder tractor engine! They're too valuable to dare mess with other than repairs and yet.....a mock up...?...
I wonder if typing in the last few years has helped limber these fingers enough to play Fur Elise again on my piano? I used to do the right hand part pretty well. Umm, no you just tried typing and it ain't gonna help.
Timing a model T or a tractor engine with a hand lever is easier than playing piano Duane.
Second fiddle to 2. I mean second banjo with a bent neck here down The Hill. Brother seems to have forgotten I requested one of his playable ones.

Here's one I built several years back, now I'm using cigar boxes instead of tin cans.
Life is good on the lunatic fringe. Tom

Re: Speaking about banjos. Does this look like a banjo?
Somehow this thread struck a chord with me
I went looking for pictures on the great interweb and got lost... people build amazing instruments out of scrap.
I even found a youtube bit about a guy playing a guitar made from a shovel
here it is;

Re: Speaking about banjos. Does this look like a banjo?
H... ...t. I can't type what I wanted to say about that link!
That was outstanding! Thanks Leo! I'm glad you showed your 4 string, tin can job too!
Hahaha! "Somehow this thread struck a chord with me " I am one that is far too slow to respond with a relevant quip.
Let's string this along! That how slo
Then, my brain says to me "Paddle faster, I hear banjos."
Well, I'll be.
Excellent, gentlemen! Far surpassing per usual.
Note: These two non-playable banjos here are of different sizes. Nobody knew, I guess 90 years later? You'll have that.
Reality/madness: The small banjo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpQYrWmSz6Q
Six minutes down the drain. Relevant to my Madness here tho.
No funny business on my tube link. Just some schmuck that has a love for Twin City Tractors. Me.
