How far does a stack Muffler need to be away from our favorite vendors Hood stickers?

[ebinmaine 62,949]

My muffler on my Patriot horse is about an 1- 1/8" away from the hood.

 

Is that enough?

@Vinylguy..... But also everyone else.

  When they're burnt...

that's too close. 

[ebinmaine 62,949]

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!!!

 

Okay. So. Yes Craig. That's probably true.

 

Maybe. Possibly.

 

I might want to avoid burning the decal? I don't know. Just a thought.

 

But thanks though! I do appreciate the information.

 I'm quite sure...

I know that a heat gun is one method of removing a decal and it isn't as hot as your exhaust. Too much heat will also discolor the paint.

I like to have about 2". So far I have not had any issues.

This one has been on now for a good while and I use it a good bit - its my yard trailer puller - and havent noticed any hint of discoloring.

Both stacks I have on mine are a inch away and I have had no issues so far.

great looking D series!!!   love those front tires. what brand and size are those?  thank you mike

[JoeM 7,606]

maybe a guard or reflector between the muffler and hood would help?

You could cover up the decals with that heat muffler tape to protect them...

I have my IH Cub stacks above the hood and far enough away so it clears the hood in the open position. That gives me about 2" between the 1" pipe leading to the muffler and the hood.  See picture to left. So far, so good!

Going off topic here, but a brief explanation of the tires on my D-160 ---

That is a "home made" set up, I wanted a 10" tire to possibly raise the tractor since I only use it for towing. That is a 'cart' 10" tire on a Kubota rim using a shop made spindle to take the 5 lug rim. Wasnt exactly what I was after but at least appearance wise it turned out nicely - I DO like the looks of it!
