Farmall Cub Muffler

[MaineDad 85]

Guys,

Has anyone used a Farmall Cub muffler for their Wheel Horse? They sell them at Tractor Supply for about $20 up here. I am hoping that it would quiet down this 12HP K Series Kohler.

I used one on my GT-14. worked perfect,looked cool. Had the little flapper on the top

They aren't overly quiet, but I think they have a good sound. :thumbs:

my Buddie tried that years ago and it broke off at the cylinder from the vibrating

I've been using the same muffler as TT and I agree with him 100% its not the quietest!!! Its been on my 416 for at least five years now. Its like looking into a glass pack muffler a straight shot through with ribs on the sides to catch some sound.

:thumbs: I have one on my gt14 and had one on the c-125-8 I just

sold. Not the quietest muffler but has a good sound and you can,t

beat the price. :D

I have one on my little B211 thats in my avatar. Sounds good with the little Briggs, and I like the way it looks .

When running the stack are you adding a support of any kind?

[TT-(Moderator) 1,131]

A support is highly recommended on a "working" tractor.

My narrow-front Charger pictured above sees very limited use so I didn't install a brace.

No pics but I have one on my 702. I don't know that it's any quieter than the pepper shaker style, but it has a nice tone and gets the oil smoke up out of my face. :D

I used one on my C-160. It sounded great, but I would catch the stack on low hanging tree limbs, and it wasn't that much quieter.

I went back to a newer style stock muffler, for a 81 C-145. The canister is a bit larger and quieter than the stock muffler for a 75 C-160.

A bracket is HIGHLY recomended .

Does anyone have a pic of the support bracket. I need an idea where to put it on a 1968 Electro 12.

[TT-(Moderator) 1,131]

Something like this, perhaps?

That was on a pulling tractor with a straight pipe stack, so there wasn't quite as much to support. It should give you a rough idea where to start though.

I use Cub Cadet mufflers for verticle stacks.They already have a 90 degree inlet.

I use a 45 degree street elbow,a pipe nipple and a muffler clamp.I like them extended so I weld on a piece from a chain link fence line post and use a rain cap from TSC.I have run them this way for close to 10 yrs without any additional bracing and have not had any issues.

[RCTruckDaddy 8]

Hey thanx for the pic.

[Hydro 131]

Hey big mike, could you post a picture?

[wheelhorse656 20]

I put a home made one. and made a brace ill see if i can get a pick of both

[SousaKerry 501]

I ran one on my 1137 when it was running with a 14.5 hp B&S did not use a support but when I hit a branch I would have to turn it back up-right (kept the pipe threads kinda loose so it would turn and not break) Now that muffler is on my 10 hp stock puller, but I should probably fab up a brace for that one.

I will admit it will scare the bagesus out of the neighbors when it gets a good after-fire going. :D

hI THERE, I have a cub muffler on my gt-14 and on my 416-8 , they are not the quietest but have a good sound

and have worked well and the price is way better than the staock muffler

[chris hall 5]

i am thinking of doing this to my b80. its my worker ant so i will be making a brace.

[whc160 74]

Here is a pic of my one C-160. I used a muffler for a 108 Cub Cadet that has a 10hp kolher. This is the same set up Big Mike said he uses & I have also had no problems with out a support.

[can whlvr 993]

i really like stacks,they look great and sound good and seem to let the tractors exhaust flow good but i caught mine on a limb and broke the kohler elbow,lucky for me it didnt wreck the block,and i had it braced but that didnt help for hitting it backwards,i dont think anything would,it bent the whole muffler where the pipe is welded to it,great for show girls

[WH Raider10 17]

I have a question. Will a cub cadet muffler like on the C-160 from whc160 fit on my 312-8? Is it the right diameter so it'll fit on the exhaust nipple of my 12hp magnum Kohler? Also, will it clear the hood?

Thanks in advance,

The 300/400 series hoods as well as the "blackhoods" our pretty wide.

I would think you'd need to remove the stub coming out of the elbow & use a little longer pipe so it wouldn't be right on the hood.
