I'd recommend it.

I’m working on my exhaust and I want to put a vertical exhaust on it. Like the big farm tractors. Does anyone know how to do that and what parts I need. I’m new to this

May want to contact @jimkemp. He does the stack mufflers...

Couple different ways that you could do it is to purchase a muffler for a Cub model 125. Run a horizontal with an elbow out of your engine and over to the pipe that goes into the muffler. That becomes your stack effectively.

 

Another way would be to contact a member of ours named Jim Kemp.

Jim makes little stack mufflers for these garden tractors and does a great job at it.

Yeah thank you I appreciate it. Like I said I don’t have much experience with this stuff so I don’t know what to look for when I’m buying parts I’ll take a look at Jim’s profile 

[danweikert21 166]

How do I find his profile

I'm not actually sure how to find his profile. I do know how to send him a message but I'm not sure if that's his only contact. Possibly check the Vendors section and see if he's listed in there. If you want to see pictures of either of the two exhausts that I mentioned I could take a couple when I get home.

 

 

[danweikert21 166]

Sure that sounds good. thank you

I like stacks!  Pipe fittings, some clamps, some support here and there and a good imagination... you’ll be stacked in no time!

Awesome like the tractors man

could you share a picture of what you’re working with?  Maybe you could cut the pipe and slip a stack on and clamp it?

Maybe this can help.

[danweikert21 166]

[Sam Pasch 449]

@danweikert21

Here's a few pics of the 2 I have.

Patriot Horse (Red, white and blue) is an 8 horse Kohler using the Cub muffler turned up to be a stack. I normally have a piece of chrome pipe on top like the other one.

 

 

 

Cinnamon Horse C160 has a @jimkemp custom on it with a piece of chrome bathroom floor drain pipe I cut/fit to add height and prettyfulness.

 

Note the bracket I fabbed for the Cinnamon exhaust. It's a fair amount of weight and vibration to be relying on the engine block alone.

I should have some pictures soon of the RM 367 deck I'm rebuilding.  But in the meantime, I'll share a picture of my boys and me prepping the front yard for sod.  The boys were my weights for the drag.  And the 867 pulled beautifully!

Nice Cupholder also 👍 😁

Well, after spending weeks getting it brought back to life and ready to mow, I trailered my C-101 up to our deer camp, planning on using it on a small food plot to keep the weeds down.  I had torn it down over the past weeks, after it had set for a year+. 

    While riding it through the woods on a two track, I caught the deck on some heavy oak root and knocked it off it's carrier and breaking the spacers on the mower deck carriage.  After limping and dragging the mower and deck back to camp, I removed the deck and hauled it home for repairs.  Other than noticing a small oil leak from the valve cover, the tractor is running very well.  

   Once I get the parts, I'll find another way of getting it to where it needs to go, hopefully without incident.  Maybe trailer it in if it'll fit down those paths.

That was the first thought I had. Probably your best idea.

 

Adaptability is key sometimes.
