prondzy 3,881 #1 Posted May 6, 2020 (edited) I was surfing the clist in surrounding areas as most of us are because we are bored. I looked over a certain tractor several times in the course of the last couple months because it was nothing specail to me. Finally i took a good look and saw this beauty mounted on the hood. I contacted @WHX24 and told him to see if he could buy this attachment off the tractor because he was so close.... of course you all know Jim 🙄 he was afraid of the corona or he had too many Coronas wasnt quite sure but it was after happy hour. So i called the guy up and he sold it to me off the tractor and mailed it to me. SO.......heres what you missed Jim A Blitz fogger The cap has Blitz fogger printed on it of you look closely. Got an original to go with my restored one now Edited May 6, 2020 by prondzy 6 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest 88vic #4 Posted May 6, 2020 I looked it up on Google. It was made from the 1950s until late 1960s. You put different pesticides in it and it was plumbed into your exhaust, once hot it released the liquid and made it into a fog. It was discontinued because it was dangerous breathing in the pesticides. Who would've thought?!?!??! Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest 88vic #7 Posted May 6, 2020 Those people's lungs got pickled for sure. Shows how tough people were back then compared to today's generation. Coal miners, auto body painters, etc. They didn't complain, just got the job done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oliver2-44 9,696 #8 Posted May 6, 2020 Interesting devce, brings back memories! As a kid (early 1960's) the city had a truck with a giant fogger that would drive the streets just after sundown fogging mosquitos. Being typical kids, we would run out and play in the fog, and I'm still kicking!. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 41,038 #9 Posted May 6, 2020 Legend has it that my 857 was equipped with a bug fogger. There are holes on the hood and an interesting hose on the exhaust pipe. 3 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 11,045 #10 Posted May 6, 2020 Decades ago folks tended to do whatever it took to get the job done and I was no exception. Somewhere around 1980 I mounted a fogger tank on my 76. It didn't work very well, likely due to where the exhaust exited so I removed it and plugged the holes. I certainly wouldn't do that now and I could repair them properly but given the history of this tractor I'm not going to. You can see them 'above the 'H' in Horse on the hood. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The town didn't want to have one of their workers do the fogging because of overtime pay so they just gave us the keys to the forger truck, no instructions just go do it. No one said anything about igniting a burner or anything like that. We started the pump and kept on cranking on the pressure adjustment until a good stream of insecticide was coming out. Trust me when I tell you there were no bugs that night! No bugs, no birds, no squirrels, no raccoons, no nothing! They never allowed us to use any town equipment again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Got an original to go with my restored one now Buy some Bug Juice for that thing and Take to Portage , Wisconsin next year to the Garden Tractor Show Prondzy! You can run it every day and still not eliminate half of the mosquitoes! I recommend buying a 55 gallon drum of the Bug Juice! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I kid you not we would have contests to see who would ride their bike behind the truck the longest!!! Not once did the guy driving the truck stop, get out and say “hey stupid kids don’t follow me!” I can still remember the smell of the fog. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
