It's a cub cadet muffler from Tulsa engine warehouse, just cut the tip straight and cut of the bracket. Yes I agree I like the sound @WHX17 has one on the 702 also. IMO the height is correct for a garden tractor.

Agreed Tom ....gonna get one for the 753. This  is just something I picked up last minute at Fleet Farm when I got near to the  end of the refresh and realized all I had was a pepper pot never giving second thought to an exhaust. After  seat time still not sure of the looks  ( too tall?) but love the sound! 1 1/4 straight through with what I call a "church key" baffle ... like we used to run on our iron barreled Sportsters with drag pipes. Gave the cop something to thud his nightstick against when asked if we had mufflers. :lol:

There’s a saying like “a face only a mother could love”

 

Well, here’s some stacks only someone like @ebinmaine could love!  I heard them before I saw them!

I have to have a muffler on my truck and car and these guys get away with straight pipes you can hear for miles off the interstate.

Paul,

Sometimes the muffler isn’t as much about decibels as it is a spark arrestor.  The turbo acts as an arrestor too... or at least that’s how our state parks service enforces on the “trail systems” and the dunes.

I think it's reasonable to say that the trucking lobby which is extremely strong in the United States has a lot of politicians kind of pocketed. There are loopholes 4 heavy trucks in some states that don't apply to light trucks.

 

 

in Maine there are noise regulations that are statewide and they cover all vehicles. I don't know if heavy trucks have to have a muffler to pass inspection or not. I believe that they do.

 

We are at a point here where a very loud truck is quite rare. The DOT officers are a great bunch of folks from my experiences over the years but you don't necessarily want to be on their bad side.

Not having a muffler would be a ticket for sure, possibly a grounded vehicle.

The baffle that I made for the stack on Radpferd, my 1045 diesel. This was wrapped in fiberglass before installation.

Boy Mike... That rig is a perfect candidate for a wet sand. 

Nice solid even look. You'd have a wicked shine there.

      Finally got the stack installed, getting that threaded pipe out of the head needed a little persuasion but all went well, and it looks fantastic thanks to Jim Kemp!

      Ok guys seen many pics of both original and some with stacks. My question is Is a stack quiter or is it just for looks. Just wondering.

      I am in the process of restoring a 72 Raider 8 and decided I would beef it up a bit with a custom stack. Currently the motor is out of the tractor and am waiting for a rod, piston, cam shaft and bearing set. Motor was in total self destruct mode when the previous owner didn't check the oil 🙄🤦🏼‍♂️ So I made this stainless stack out of sch 5, 2 inch pipe and reduced to 1". Decided I didn't like to looks of threaded pipe so I found a couple valve parts to act as the flanges, and am going to weld the other flange to a threaded nipple and screw into the engine block. Let me know what you think! Trying to decide if I should leave it flat, mitre it or weld a turnout on it! 
      Jake





      Also, I'm going to hold out for now until I can hear it run straight piped, but considering rolling a stainless screen down to 1" and packing gap between the stack and the screen with muffler packing. Has anyone else ever done this? Looking for ideas and comments are welcome!

      What started out as a simple task of moving my 6-1/2' x 12' utility trailer to unload it's contents back into the Shed Repair Project after building a new floor turned out to be a really bad day . I figured the weight of the trailer and it's load was probably around 2,500lbs or more and the big D-180 should be able to handle it . Used the 3pt hitch and an adapter to lift the trailer tongue and off I went...until I got to the end of the north drive and the pump coupling on the hydro failed - badly . In hindsight - the trailer probably weighed closer to 4,000lbs the way it felt behind the truck ...
       

       

       
      Now , the trailer had to be taken off the tractor and put on it's jack ....which didn't work out too well loaded that heavily . Since the trailer was built with 2x3 angle iron on the tongue it decided to fold itself into a pretzel - despite the wheels being blocked tight so it couldn't move . It fell over and I had to use the HI-Lift to get it off the ground . The sight of the trailer falling over in the rear view camera on the Dodge is still well embedded in my memory - I knew that was going to be another large project .
       
      The coupling had an earlier repair from last winter's failure - so a pto pin was driven through the hole to get it out back to my work area to be fixed later . It made the short trip , but just barely and the tow valve was frozen tightly . As it turned out , the damage to the D was a much bigger issue..and cost 3 times as much in total .
       
      The pic doesn't do the damage any justice - that entire tongue was bent badly -
       

       
      Sand blasted , new tongue built and waiting for paint -
       

       
      Painted , as it sits now awaiting the lights , wiring and re-install the floor decking .
       

       
       
       
      All the while - got more work done on the D's pump problem . Found a great used pump , as well as a spare coupling in good shape . After a lot of machine work ($$$) we came up with a solution and everything was back together...
       

       
      After all this I found that both the original mufflers were completely shot and falling apart - so another project ...
       
      Bought a pair of 180* mandrel bends , two cone transitions and a pair of @jimkemp 8" mufflers (very nice, btw) . Fabricated the flanges for the engine's exhaust ports , as well as the pipes for the stacks -
       

       

       

       
      Spent a lot of time rolling the engine over on the starter to slowly prime the pump back up and finally , after several months - fired Big Ugly to test the exhaust before painting the stacks . No leaks from the hydro thanks to some new o-rings and backer rings from @pfrederi on the hydro manifold , that was a big relief .
       
      A bit shocked at the sound of the big opposed twin - somewhat like a Harley running on the choke or something - but overall not obnoxious or too loud ....
       
      D180 startup.mp4
       
      If you don't want to wait for the MP4 to load - here's the YouTube link -
       
       
       
      I don't think the camera's microphone will show the sound too well , but so far I like it . Took a ride around the block , nice having this beast back up and running , finally . Now to finish that dumb trailer....pretty much wasted nearly the whole summer getting all of this done plus the hours at work . I'm about ready for a break but need to get ready for winter .

      Hi all!
       
      I'm a new member from Sweden taken the first ride of the year just yesterday. I have a Commando 7 which I am upgrading in a very slow pace to a Commando 8 buying one piece at the time as they pop up.
       
      I've just finished a transmission overhaul, replacing wheel axles, seals and bearings. Thanks to Terry M for supplying the axles, I could not have found them in Europe.
       
      Currently the seat is at the upholsterers. I've got a seat cover with slight damages from Fun Engineer, thank you very much. The cover will be used as is or as a template, it is not decided yet.  
       
      Also, I have new bolted front wheels laying around waiting for mounting, that might be the next thing done to this horse.
       
      Best regards,
      Johan
