I have 2 tractors with Jim Kemp's stacks on them, and they both sound great.

@jimkemp does a great job on stacks. I have three tractors with them and they all sound great. It appears the mufflers are shorter than mine. Jim, have you changed the guts again, allowing them to be shorter?

I ordered the 6" one from him, he gave me the option for the 8"

@jimkemp

Or others...

6" vs 8".

Is one known to be more quiet than the other?

I dont see there being much difference unless he changes the baffle setup in the 8”

With a slightly different background, this is a calendar shot here, looks like you even have armor all on the tires! Fine looking machine and a nice stack no doubt.  Chrome tip gives a very custom touch:handgestures-thumbupright:

 

As a matter of fact, I’m going to link you to one of our classic threads that your new setup would fit great in...

 

This is a great vintage thread that with your new stack, you’ll probably find interesting.

The 8" stack is a little quieter than the 6" only because the way the baffle is built , they have the same design but the gases have to travel a little more so that aids to make them quieter , its not by much but it is a little , I did a test about a year ago and made one 18" long with the same style baffle and it made a huge difference in sound , if you really want them to be quiet I can build one with a double baffle , and that also aids in them being quiet but they start to get pretty heavy and should be braced to the motor , I think I'm on the 5 or 6th baffle design , but now I'm trying to get the design down for the 300 series tractor muffler using the design from the stack muffler , I have a few out there waiting to hear back from the guys on fit and sound and if it works out they will also come with a polished aluminum heat shield for a custom look , stay tuned !!!

No they are the same length , yes the baffle has changed since I sent your mufflers out to you , they are a little quieter now but the sizes are the same

did a test about a year ago and made one 18" long with the same style baffle and it made a huge difference in sound , if you really want them to be quiet I can build one with a double baffle , and that also aids in them being quiet 

I'd be very interested in at least one of those longer Mufflers with the double baffle. Quite possibly two or even more (at a later date).

 

I like taller Stacks so the 18-inch would be great for me!

I have one of your mufflers that I bought second-hand on a 12 horse and I really like the sound. I'd love to have a quieter one for both a 16 horse and also an old Generator engine I have.

 

I do realize that a lot of the noise from a small engine or tractor is just not something you can get rid of but I do like to have my machines as quiet as possible.

 

Jim, please PM me with the details and pricing about how to order one of those.

Thanks, Eric.

      Hi! The shafts of my fathers old 314-8, deck number 73449 have worn to the point the blades don’t stay secured. I’ve struck out tonight trying to find a part number. If anyone can assist, I would greatly appreciate it. 
       
      thank you,

      The belt on my Wheel Horse 314-8 mower deck (05-37SC01) appears to be contacting the deck bracket between the spindle pulleys. I am a novice when it comes to Wheel Horse maintenance (at best), but this does not seem correct.
       
      I recently inherited this Wheel Horse, so I do not know the maintenance history. Unfortunately, the mechanic who previously worked on it was a no-show for a scheduled maintenance visit.
       
      Any advice on how to address this? Thanks in advance... this seems like a great forum and I'm looking forward to spending time here!

      I just got a 1993 toro wheel horse 314-8 today for free. It seems to be in good working order hasn't ran since last summer. Came with a mower deck, rear wheel weights, and a snow plow. My plan is to take the transaxle out if i don't like the motor and put the trans in my 520-h hopefully it works. Is there any pointers you guys could give me i would really appreciate it... thanks.

      My 1998 314-8 is not starting after stalling while engaging the PTO clutch for snowblowing. It started easily and warmed up well. The stalling didn't seem like a big deal but then it just refused to start. Lights light up and I hear a click. Wondering if this sounds like a PTO clutch safety switch issue and if that should be my first place to look? 
       
      Fuses look fine.
       
      A few weeks ago when I installed the snowblower it stalled in the same manner. I took off the snowblower belt and put it back on and it started and ran well. No such luck this time. Maybe the switch was on the fritz? Had no issues all summer mowing.
       
      If it is a battery or starter issue it would seem like quite a coincidence that it happened right when I tried to blow snow. Like I said, it started like a champ.
       
      Seat switches have been non-functioning since I got the machine. I assume the previous owner bypassed them.
       
      Any thoughts appreciated. I am not at all familiar with the PTO switch or the wiring.
