Replace the 1-1/4" nipple with a 1-1/4" x 1" black iron bushing.

Sounds like it's time to hit the plumbing aisle at Lowe'ds .

 

 

It's all just NPT threading. Get the pipe and reducers you need.

Look for what's called a Street elbow but make sure the in/out are facing correctly. 

A Street elbow should have a female side larger than the male. 

Use a double male to accomplish the transition. 

I've done this on multiple tractors.

Male bits, female bits, transitions, what are we talking about here Eric?

         You will end up having a fair amount of weight hanging off from a few threads on the pipe. I have used a black iron "T" with a plug at the bottom which is drilled and tapped to 1/4-20 to brace the stack. Properly supporting the weight will prevent problems later on.

@tallen4392. @953 nut  makes a very good point. 

 

 

Here's what I did on my 1974 C160-8 Cinnamon Horse.

A  std. street elbow will not have different sizes on each end. Street elbows have male on one end and female on the other but the same size unless you get a "reducing" street elbow.

I am curious about the origin of the name. I have never seen one in the street.

You will if it falls off a plumber's truck.

So that made me have to search it.

"The Street Elbow

The Street Elbow... where did it get its name?

Back in the day (and even to this day) the water main running down your street had a TEE fitting in front of each house, from which the supply could be tapped in order to supply water to the home. The natural geometry of things dictated that the supply pipe for each house came off at a 90-degree angle from the main, and a pipe (of typically smaller diameter than that of the main itself) should be fitted to the house. It was only natural, therefore, that the elbow fitting used for this purpose would have a male thread to screw into the [upward- or downward-oriented] tap of the tee in the main, and a female fitment facing toward the house, into which the house's supply pipe could be fitted.

Thus we have the "Street Elbow." It's a male-to-female elbow, and it's out there at the edge of the street, doing it's job, 24-seven, bringing water to your home.

The Street Elbow. Every street has them."
