I could be solving a problem that doesn't need to be solved, but I like this one.

Both my L3560 and B2650 have other coolers in front of the radiator, and various other things in the way of accessing the front of the radiator. The back side has the fan blades in the way. So trying to blow grass clippings and seed heads off the front sides of these various grates has seemed counterproductive. Just blast some of it off and the rest would be forced deeper into the fins. If you blow from the back side of the radiator it will transfer the stuff to the back side of the fuel cooler or the ac cooler. Not to mention all over the rest of the tractor and my nice neat shop (NOT!).
So I have been vacuuming off what I could reach, but the space for a crevice tool is limited, and there is a lot behind the battery and other coolers that is not accessible. I tried to make an extension out of a cardboard paper towel tube, but it collapses too easy. Was at Lowes for something else and asked about flexible tubing, and someone suggested a LintLizard, and I found this online. It arrived yesterday, and it fits perfectly in the gap between the coolers and the bristles are soft enough so as not to bend the fins. I had already cleaned the screens and most off the radiator after the last time I mowed but it sucked up the stuff I couldn't reach. The whole tool is flexible so you can reach a lot of corners with it. I'll report back after the next time I mow as to whether it is faster.
