Old Iron 0 #1 Posted March 20, 2009 Where are you guys buying stack mufflers like this one and what are the different sizes available? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,120 #2 Posted March 20, 2009 If you have a Tractor Supply Store (TSC) nearby the usually have some tractor mufflers in stock...Cubs used small diameter mufflers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
big mike 13 #3 Posted March 21, 2009 I use a street 45,a pipe nipple long enough to get it out away from the hood and a Cub muffler with a piece of tube welded on to extend it.The tube I use is a chain link fence line post.....cheap,easy to get and just the right size.

pfrederi 17,120 #4 Posted March 21, 2009 I should have added that when you are buying the muffler get a rain cap. They look cool and if your horse is every accidentally left outside in the rain you will avoid water in the engine problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,127 #5 Posted March 21, 2009 I used the IH-1 Farmall Cub muffler from TSC, etc. A few pieces of black pipe, two elbows, and a B&S band clamp makes for a decent vertical exhaust. I also tack-welded all threaded joints so it couldn't spin. NOTE: A "working" tractor should have a support brace installed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill 4 #6 Posted March 21, 2009 I Personally use pipe from TSC with mandrel bends, And on my d-250 I also use the same muffler that TT use's, I don't like using the Black pipe fittings because to me they look like a plumbing job that went wrong :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bustedglass 1 #7 Posted March 21, 2009 Got mine from Tractor Supply Store. They have various sizes, that you should be able to make fit on just about anything. Mine shown in my avatar is for a Farmall Cub. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HORSEOFCOURSE 0 #8 Posted March 22, 2009 are these engines alot quieter with these taller mufflers compared to the stock style? i used to be a fan of loud and proud but i am leaning aways from that now that i am sick of hearing stuff long after i have shut i down. :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerrell 1 #10 Posted March 22, 2009 :thumbs: Bill that is exactly the style i want on my GT 1800 LP, having trouble finding the connections that bolt to the engine then will make stacks just like you have there...good job.. and those rain caps looks better than a coke or beer can to keep the rain out...

WHC-125 4 #11 Posted March 22, 2009 In my opinion I like Bill's the best. 1. Because it sounds awesome. 2. Beacuse it looks cool. 3. Because I got to drive it Did I mention Bill was doing wheelies with it :whistle: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tractors 0 #13 Posted March 22, 2009 A piece of exhaust pipe from tractor trailer, some tubing and a little fabricating I made this one for my Horse. Has great tone. Not as tall as Farmall Cub or Cub Cadet mufflers. Jim Attached Image Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Teddy da Bear 11 #18 Posted March 22, 2009 i am sick of hearing stuff long after i have shut i down. unsure.gifHorseOfCourse...I hope it isn't "voices".... Tractors.....that is a sharp looking tractor.....even like the white deck. I think they sound a little deeper in bass...not the higher pitched sound of the stock muffler.
