when i stacked my horse I just made sure it was braced to the engine, you don't want to brace to the chassis as the engine moves and vibrates separately to chassis causing stresses and strains. 
i'm not sure if you have the facilities to weld but if you do its best to weld, it looks so much better than threaded plumbing pipe.

The stack I have on my C165 is connected right to the engine via a muffler clamp and a bracket that is welded to support the pipe that connected to the engine mount plate where the original muffler system was connected.  Check out my pictures here.

mines braced where some of the engine tin work bolts to the engine, i used some longer bolts and a bracing meant the bolts only treaded in 2 threads or so.

      1971 800 Workhorse restoration help 0100
      By Kyle G Cantrell
      Trying to restore a 1971 Wheel horse Workhorse 800 model 0100, It has a tecumseh HH80-110112D. 
      I cannot find any parts at all for this one, I’ve checked everywhere I can think online. This is my first restore, looking for some help to find parts or what I can use (swap) to keep it close to original but also functional. 

      Also the fly wheel has two **** that stick up off it that the coil passes and one is broke off. Is that a problem, I’m a mechanic but this thing is old and with no info it’s a guessing game. 

      Parts needed so far:
       right side running bored/footrest
      Left side engine cover
      right side pulley cover
      Ignition coil
      Main drive pulley bearings 
      Hitch pin (goes through trans case) 
       
      *NEW TO SITE, WILL CHANGE IF POST INCORRECT*

      Tire Sizes
      By drewd
      I need to buy tubes or new rear tires for my 1971 Workhorse 800.  It has the original 22.5x7.50-12 Wheelhorse branded tires but sidewalls are leaking and one no longer holds air for more that two days.  Searching websites brings up various sizes but not the original.  Would a 23x9.50-12 fit this tractor?  I have a 36" RD deck on it.  Any other sizes work on this rim and tractor?
       
      Thanks!

      Well, I did another Work Horse over. This one I will use weekly at my Rental property. This started out as repairing the shifting linkage and brakes. While waiting on parts, I degreased it and thought, I might as well touch up the frame paint on the frame. Then I took the sheet metal off and bead blasted it. It now has base coat clear coat paint. All tires are used and in good shape for now. I chose not to fill in the rust pitting with body filler since it is going to be used and didn't want to get more time and money into it. So it has character, looks decent and will continue to work.

      Finally got the stack installed, getting that threaded pipe out of the head needed a little persuasion but all went well, and it looks fantastic thanks to Jim Kemp!
