Those look like  a file from your phone or PC?

I can't download such things onto my phone because of lack of memory. I can only watch them on YouTube.

Ive done that in the past- agreed! Figured posting directly from the phone would save a couple steps but not diggin how it posts. Going to put em up on youtube now and repost

[Greentored 3,220]

Thats better! Heres the main worker- 520H, factory exhaust with a 1 3/4 stack added. LOVE the Onan snarl!

 

[Greentored 3,220]

The new to me 1277, 1 3/4 stack, Khrome Werks motorcycle baffle. Yes I lugged her a bit for the video.

Last but not least- the big block 654- 11hp OHV, straight 1 3/4". I have a baffle on a chain that gets dropped in the pipe when needed to tone down. GPS confirmed 28mph

 

 

[Pullstart 67,042]

@Greentored you love the sound, but don’t forget to mention “Love that shine on the 520!”

[Tractorhead 9,212]

looks great 👍

[Greentored 3,220]

Thanks fellas! Absolutely love that machine, whatta hoss! 

Now if only they had offered the big Onan in a long hood model like that 1277, and backed it with an 8 speed.

Hmm......8 speed would be a 1257, correct?  Might have just figured out the next project

Back in the sixties they had three speeds and six speeds. The designation changed around 1968 or 9 when they moved the location of the brake drum.

At that point they became known as 4 speeds or 8 speeds.

To the end user it was basically the same transmission.

 

So your model number back then would have been 1257 equaling a 3-speed and 1267 equaling a six-speed.

 

You can most certainly put an 8-speed in where a 3-speed used to be. I've had one running and driving but the very very slight difference in configuration made it so that the belt did not last given a lot of directional or stop and start changes.

 

If it was a  tractor that you weren't going to use for a lot of back-and-forth plowing like I was it would have probably been perfectly fine.

 

I know several of us have made that modification with good success.

Referencing my own post and resurrecting it

 Having so much fun with the older Horses, all 'stacked' in one way or another, but its time to quiet the 'lawn duty' 1277 down a bit. Its had a few different mufflers attached. 1 3/4" straight pipe with a Khrome Werks Harley baffle- awesome, but not for long term or neighbors.

Kemp muffler with chrome turnout- awesome-er, but sounds much better on the custom with the hopped up K321 I just built, still barks too much for cutting grass.  Currently running Tractor Supply's FO-4 IIRC, maybe a Nelson? Sound is great like Kemps, but the 12hp powering a hydro and swinging a 42" deck is under a constant load, so she still barks.

 Lets 'hear' some quiet options, no pun intended. Stack is a must.

I am waiting for quiet.  Better for the neighbors and my wife.

greent - you might need to get creative 

 

( but fortunately for you that is no problem ! )

 

maybe you can get a spark arrestor or similar from another muffler / and insert / weld into your stack 

the mufflers I've had with spark arrestors did the best job of taming the noise (of the motorcycles I've had)

 

also - don't overlook the wall thickness of the muffler / stack itself ...  increased wall thickness can lower decibels ... some pipes / mufflers are double wall ...

[tom2p 2,394]

not sure if this would be an option - but an adjustable diffuser like used on a Super Trapp muffler would be kinda cool 

possibly install at end of the stack ... inside the stack ... ??? ...
 

 

where is WV Hillbilly when ya need him !  I think he worked at Walker ... time to unload some of those us secrets !  lol

As much as I love a loud engine, all our tractors are workers. 

They need to be audio friendly. 

 

Believe it or not it's an easy fix. 

Get a cub muffler off the fleabay for 25 or 30 bucks. 

Use a 45 bend off the engine block to get the muffler out from under the hood and turn it to the sky. 

 

That's the set-up I have on Patriot Horse. 

 

Quiet. Mellow deep tone. 

Sounds great. 

 

[The Tuul Crib 7,339]

I love the sound of this stack!!!

This thread reminds me... I never took video of Steve’s complete exhaust system... and now he’s in the top rack for a bit!

 

 

 

Here is the exhaust on a test drive...
