Looks like to me those are gonna make a nice "scale" sized stack! The oversize stacks kinda bug me even though I run one myself, can't wait to see how those come out!!

They're still going to be fairly tall. one of the reasons I like to run stacks on my tractors is the practicality of getting the exhaust up and out of my face.

one idea I haven’t yet been done is to spin a flapper 90 degrees in order to shoot exhaust fumes sideways.  Even Frank’s stack seems to allow a lightheadedness after some run time.

I've mentioned that I am usually right around five years old. Trina is about the same.

As you can well imagine our level of extreme maturity dictated that we needed to hold a muffler up to our faces and yell in and out of them to see what the sound decrease would be.

 

They definitely produce a deep tone. I'm looking forward to hearing what they sound like on the engine...

 


great minds think alike!  Our minds do too EB!  That is how I test all my exhaust pipes and mufflers!

That's the exact logic behind the one that's on Cinnamon.

It's a 1-1/4" bathroom drain pipe cut to face to the side.

  Biggest problem with stacks is tree's. Only tractor I have with a stack is the Black Horse. No trees in fields.

We plenty of trees of course.

 

We also have plenty of tree cutting utensils.

 

:lol:

 

 

Cinnamon's stack is about my height so if I can't walk under anything in the forest paths we cut it. Colossus will be just a bit taller.

Willows are well known the world over to be tractor dismantlers. Or so I've heard. Somewhere.

We have no willows so we're ok.

Keep a pole saw handy as they all get lower.

Interesting you'd mention that.

We were talking about getting one the other day.

 

Right now I just grab the branch and snip as high as I can.

Finished stripping the rear wheels today.

The paint department will throw some color on them soon.

As much stripping y’all do up in them woods, an e-tank needs to be on your list of things to build :handgestures-thumbupright:

Been wanting to try that but I can't find a usable power source on the cheap.

Manual type chargers are super pricey.

All I can find is a measly 1 amp...

Hey now.  Does a bear crap in the woods and wipe with a fuzzy white rabbit?  They strip.  Nothin’ we can do to change that.  :ROTF:

I broke down and had Jim Kemp mail one out last week for my custom. First thing I did was put it up to my mouth and yell into it. Dont forget to make popping and revving sounds to get the full spectrum of tones.

Love that Kemp muffler by the way, and REALLY dig those baby glass packs ya found @ebinmaine!!!
