Others say it's no problem. Opinions? I like the sound of yours, and no more than my tractors run, the noise would not be a problem. My experience on N/A bikes, cars, and small engines has been that straight thru exhaust kills your low/mid range torque but can slightly increase hp at the top end of the rev range IF you have a modified valvetrain/cam and can increase the redline. On a stock engine all you're doing is generating a ton of noise and ruining driveability. That said I loved how my stock Yamaha XS650 sounded with straight through 1.5" pipes cut real long... Shorter pipes caused it to pop and backfire too much even after jetting the carb but the longer pipes took care of all that. Now on a turbocharged vehicle, yes straight through is always better across the powerband than running a muffler but there are much different dynamics at play when boosting. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If there is a single diode like some of the later engines use the reading may not be as accurate. you be right Richard, it allway‘s depending on what you like to measure. Our Trainer some moons ago allway‘s told us The one who measure fails. That‘s my also my reason why a DC measurement make no sense especially with a analog meter what is too slow to register short impulses. so just the collection of much impulses on higher RPM are more usable to estimate little closer. So in consequences of that the AC current measurement is more Accurate on charging, to check the consumption the DC current measure make more sense. Depending allway‘s what is to measure, if a Regulator is in Charging system a DC current give you an response if it work. The pulsating systems are without integration hard to measure. For bit more exact Values a Memory scope and a AC/DC Ammeter Clamp is a good way to start, but fully over the top for our use on the Tractas just to see if you charge or not. a clamp ammeter ac/ dc is a cheap and good Way to estimate if you on a good way Edited March 26, 2021 by Tractorhead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The tractor we are using also is a snowblower. Yes, the rear lift arm will stay in. The install took about 30 minutes, now that it's complete the tiller can be removed or put back on rather quickly. The rear lift wont effect the functions of the mid lift, you may have to disconnect the cable in order to install the flag shaft for the snowthrower. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

8ntruck 7,003 #9993 Posted March 27, 2021 Only a popcorn holder? I was hoping that you came up with a popcorn popper attachment. Run the exhaust through a heat exchanger to make the popper pan hot, and an 8 gazillion to one reduction off of the PTO to run the stirring mechanism....... Would probably be a big hit at shows. 1 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
