RickF 8 #1 Posted October 14, 2016 (edited) Hello, With my birthday coming up, I was asked what I want for my present, and I said I'd like a new exhaust stack for my tractor. I have a GT14, with a 14 Hp Kohler, And when I look up mufflers in a Stanley muffler catalog, I think An IH-1 International Harvester farmall cub muffler looks like it might fit the bill.It's available at Tractor Supply Co. and it has a 1 3/8" inlet. Is inlet size my only necessary consideration? Has anyone used any other brand of muffler stack? Edited October 14, 2016 by RickF 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 26,546 #2 Posted October 15, 2016 I have seen a few with a IH Cub muffler, they seem to be a good fit. I like the look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mmmmmdonuts 274 #4 Posted October 15, 2016 I don't know if he is still doing muffler's or not but I got mine from JimKemp right here on Red Square. Here is a picture of the muffler. I sprayed it black in the one section. I love the sound of it. I believe he offers a large and small one. I got the small one. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jellyghost 378 #6 Posted October 15, 2016 How much do the JimKemp muffler muffle? I almost need to wear ear protection when mowing with my current muffler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,337 #7 Posted October 15, 2016 Here was my C-141 Automatic that I had to rebuild the engine on it since the rod gave it up one wintery day pushing snow around. I used the IH stack. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjg854 10,725 #8 Posted October 15, 2016 here's what my muffler looks like that I got from Jim, and I love the sound it makes, no need for hearing protection 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mmmmmdonuts 274 #9 Posted October 15, 2016 (edited) It is noticeably quieter than the old pepper pot muffler I had but it also has a much deeper tone to it as well. I still wear hearing protection when mowing though because while I feel the engine is loud when those blades are moving it is much much louder than the engine. For driving around the yard not mowing when I am not at full throttle I typically don't wear hearing protection.

briankd 816 #10 Posted October 16, 2016 one question about stacks is while running do you have exhaust in your face much? have a C-120 going to put an IH muffler stack on cause original muffler cracked bad. TSC has IH-1 muffler for 29 bucks but the flapper is about another 25 bucks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Single cylinder engines can be harder to quiet down though. My 16hp Vangaurd engine is much quieter than my 5hp Briggs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

USHorse 41 #23 Posted October 20, 2016 Looks like threaded unions on some of the pipes. Will they loosen over time? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fast88pu 3,313 #24 Posted October 20, 2016 No unions needed on the GT14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
USHorse 41 #25 Posted October 20, 2016 That 90 degree elbow conecting it to the pipe that goes to the engine is not a threaded union? I ask as my father has a similar setup and his stack keeps leabing because it loosens up on him. Thought a spot weld would be appropriate?
