Muffler Supports

Recommended Posts

I have my mufflers on my D-180 running as stacks:

The problem that I have is they work themselves loose. In order to fit them, I had to route the exhaust down towards the bottom of the engine, then out the sides, then up again. The heat and constant vibration loosens them after a few weeks. The only thing I can think of at this point is to install a support bracket to hold them still so they don't fall over. The only good place that I can think of to attach it would be the exhaust port bolts. This is not the best pic, but I think it shows the exhaust routing, and the exhaust ports:

I don't think they are ever easy on any engine to get off without breaking them. That's the last thing I want to do.

Does anyone have any good tip/tricks for removing the exhaust port bolts without breaking them off?

What about using the locking jam nuts like the old kohlers had? its just a 1 inch conduit nut that you can pick up at any hardware store. Btw I really like the stacks they look great

That's an outstanding idea! I never thought of that. I think I am going to try that first before I try adding a bracket. Thank for your idea!

      I have a WH 300 series with a Kohler Magnum 10 engine and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the choke cable and linkage set so it will work. The numbers on the engine label  are worn off the, so I cannot give anyone that information. Does anyone have a picture or can you head me in the right direction.
       
      My arm for the linkage assembly is set at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock if that helps. There seems to be several different linkage rods for this engine.
       
      Thanks

      I was looking around on ebay and noticed that hydraulic actuators from John Deere 312, 317, etc models appear to be Identical to a Gt14 or d series lift cylinder. My question is would a new cylinder from ebay be able to replace one that is on a gt14 or d series?
       
      Images below of cylinders to show similaritys.

      My friction disc in gone on my clutch.  I saw the old post about making a new friction disc, so I'm not concerned about that.
      I managed to remove the front clutch plate and double v-belt pulley.  But I can't separate the two.  When I took the assembly off the spiraloc washer popped off on its own.  I HAVE READ THE MANUALS.
      So I should be able to just remove the pulley from the front clutch and continue with step 4.  The v-belt pulley is loose as all hell and flops around like a dead fish.  It seems to be hung up on a ring or bearing race.  
      So my thoughts are grab a BFH or sparky the blue tip wrench.
      Is there an unpublished step 3.5, or some trick?

      Hey all, 
       
      My '74 D180 has a lot of trouble pushing snow.  Weighted tires, but nothing else at this time.  I've found it gets stuck frequently and only one wheel spins.  Do these tractors not have a limited slip/locker arrangement?  How does everyone manage with the infamous one wheel peel?

      Hey all, I need to install a drive belt on my 75 D180 for my snowblower.  I've looked through a bunch of D-series owner's manuals, and none seem to mention replacement procedure.  The PTO pulley is fixed, save for engaging the PTO and there is minimal movement at the snowthrower pulley. There's no idler or tensioner as far as I can tell.  Do I have to remove the PTO pulley?  That seems to be a required service item.
      Same question for my 80 D200 as well really.  
       
      Using the recommended 4L490W belt.
       
      Thanks
