JPWH 5,308 #227 Posted April 7, 2016 (edited) I was going to paint the motor today but mother nature figured we need more rain so I did something else. I want a stack muffler for this tractor but can't seem to find one like I want so I decided to build one. This is how I did it. I cut all the pipe with a tubing cutter. I Bought 2 washers and picked up some scrap sprinkler pipe from one of our jobsites. The larger pipe is a chain link fence pipe. The 90 degree fitting is a weld on fitting a plumber friends gave me. I'll try it on my raider to see if I like the sound and the look. I need to finish welding it up and paint it. Then I will have to figure out a way to support it.

oliver2-44 8,852 #229 Posted April 7, 2016 (edited) May I suggest you use automotive header paint that's available in a spray can from auto parts stores I recently painted a muffler with "high heat" bbq pit paint from Hdepot and it burns off in 10 minutes.

JPWH 5,308 #247 Posted April 10, 2016 Painted the motor and starter/gen along with some tins and other parts. Had a little visitor that wanted to ride so had to reset priorities for a little while. Pepop Ella and of course Charlie had to ride too. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
