Bonus point if you know what that is without an internet search. .
How many bonus points if I spent a major portion of my yute on one?
You win! A big bag of peanuts!
I spent many hours on a 1950 John Deere Model M. It had the crank start but thankfully it also had electric start. Dad told me to NEVER try to hand crank it until I had been thoroughly educated and trained on the proper use of the hand crank, as well as how easily things go wrong and one gets hurt. .

A good possibility. However, it does not seem to have any supports beyond its attachment to the exhaust pipe, so I'd think it would be susceptible to being broken off or badly bent. Maybe it's intended to be temporary for use only when in very restricted exhaust controls.

My first time baling hay as a kid was on one built in 1949. Good memories.

That looks like a takeyari exhaust (meaning "bamboo spear"). It's a Japanese thing (of course). I guess it's all the rage. It just makes me smh.

'49 B for me. With a four row front mount cultivator. First time over corn or beans with the shields on meant half-throttle in first or second gear. Glacial pace, 1/2 mile long rows...
Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.

It gets worse...
I can't help admiring the workmanship on the car on the far left. It takes serious metalworking/fabrication skill to make those "scissor" doors.

It shows some initiative.
The first time his wife bumps her buns on it taking something out of the trunk it will have to come off.

I don’t think that much thought went into it. It probably didn’t go much further than “dude, you know what would look cool?”

Someone took a que from Eustace and Preston from the Mountain Man show and converted their ride to a wood burner! Much smaller setup in that V-Dub though! LoLoLoLoLoL

A person in the Village of Linden, Wisconsin had a functional wood-burner for years. It was "bugly": "bulky" and "ugly".

Not that the kids care (it is the "looks" that matter) but the back pressure increase will definitely hurt performance. I had a pair of "tall pipes" on my Harley back in the day....looked cool, ran like shit!!

This is what the school buses have in Fairbanks. At about -30 the exhaust from the cars becomes fog. Without this, you could be behind a bus and be in thick fog. When the bus drives off, you don’t see it leave. The also have strobe lights to let you know what’s going on.
