I don’t know what the shifter boot looks like. I ordered the choke cable a gas cap today.... the muffler is $247! Ooh, ouch! Anywhere else I can look? I checked eBay, but they want $100 for a rusted one! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,266 #27 Posted February 6, 2020 Are you looking to replace the muffler to stock or maybe do a stack... Or...? You could call A - Z and see what he says... The shifter boot is almost certainly cracked and garbage. Don't forget to raise the front of the tractor to get the transmission fluid past the center bolt hump.

peter lena 8,580 #28 Posted February 6, 2020 AHS, here is a member making mufflers , that you might check out, you could also add that to the WANTED site here . that shifter boot is under the shifter gate plate , about 9 $ on ebay / ammazon. remove the shifter knobs and 4 phillips corner screws , use grease or silicone grease on shift lever or the molded hole on boot , for easy installation. pete 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This might work, for the price ~$35 it might be worth trying (Stens 105-296: these are for 12hp Kohler's fitted to Cub cadet). The exhaust will exit towards the back instead of front. Not sure if clearance to the PTO lever would be an issue with the pipe facing backwards. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’ll have to get dimensions on it first... that might work. Also @jimkemp made the muffler that I needed in the first picture! I asked him about it.. haven’t heard back yet.

Just have to get the right length inlet pipe so as to clear the PTO or whatever you have there. Nice quiet deep tone. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
