T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,337 #26 Posted February 7, 2017 When I did mine a few years ago, I didn't have a sawsall, so I used a hacksaw, which though takes longer and requires more labor, it does provide greater control. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sarge 3,462 #27 Posted February 7, 2017 There is also a tool called a Handy Hack - I can't find a link for my original one as it's about 35yrs old but there are newer versions out there - they work well and there are types that use the bi-metal sawzall blades too for better control . A good fine tooth blade will go through a pipe nipple in pretty short order without a lot of pressure... http://www.homedepot.com/p/Stanley-10-in-Mini-Hack-Saw-15-809/100026795 Sarge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ClassicTractorProfessor 5,261 #28 Posted February 8, 2017 I would think one of these would work great. Much easier to control than a full size sawsall, yet much easier and faster than an old fashioned hacksaw. Very handy addition to anyone's tool arsenal. http://m.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-M12-12-Volt-Lithium-Ion-Cordless-HACKZALL-Reciprocating-Saw-Kit-2420-21/202311908 Glad you were able to get the nipple out without breaking the block, they can be stubborn at times. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was able to remove the original exhaust with some pb blaster and a little tapping. The pipe coming out of the engine is stuck. I have a pipe wrench, and I have applied enough pressure to move the tractor and deform the pipe a little. I am afraid to apply more pressure. I have also tried pb blaster and running the engine. Any suggestions for removing the exhaust pipe? I know you have already solved your problem, but the method I use and its never failed is to use a dull air chisel and catch the pipe near the motor and give it a wrap. You may punch through the pipe but it gives you something to hammer on. It will break loose and you can spin it out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
