Another option is to cut two opposing slits in the pipe of the muffler and then use a exhaust clamp to clamp the muffler to the pipe fitting. Agreed on the look. I like it. You could also get an expander or have an exhaust shop do an expansion on the muffler inlet. A nice neat clean mig weld would really be the way to go if possible.

Redav72 227 #27 Posted December 30, 2021 I took the muffler and the bushing down to my local muffler/brake shop and for 20$ they expanded and then welded the two together. Pretty pleased and it sounds really nice. The next two thing I need to do is put an extender with a side outlet so that the exhaust isn't directly in my face, before I do that though I'd worried about weight and so I'd like to put a little band iron strut underneath. Will post more pictures once I've got both done. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty pleased and it sounds really nice Niiiiice!! I have a support for the talk stack on my Cinnamon Horse C160. I bent a piece of steel strapping to run from the bottom clamp at the base of the muffler down to the frame. Seems to be holding up well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sjoemie himself 3,068 #29 Posted December 30, 2021 Looking good. And like @ebinmaine said this is probably the best and safest way to go. That ain't going nowhere 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Redav72 227 #31 Posted December 31, 2021 Looks good there @Roger R. I like the look of the weights in the front, is that largely aesthetic or does it help? I suppose it'd have to come off for plowing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I use it for lawn rolling and a pull type sprayer where maneuverability is definitely a plus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 67,496 #35 Posted December 31, 2021 @Redav72 Speaking of front weights here's a pic of Trina's 867. Similar tractor but short frame small block. Lack of steering for her is a constant because we use the tractors in the woods and leaves are nearly as slippery as snow. Her weight is a bracket of simple angle iron and a rectangle of steel that's about 45 lb. The front tires have roller chain installed. Huge help. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you get a 1" X 1/2" X 1" black Iron Tee in place of the 90 (1/2" facing down). Pick up a 1/2" plug you can drill and tap the plug for a bolt, bolt the band iron to the bottom of the plug and will have a clean appearing sturdy brace. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redav72 227 #37 Posted January 1, 2022 Like that idea. I might extend it a bit and use a split-ring hanger since it's already got the threads. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0078S1JK2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike in NC 341 #38 Posted January 1, 2022 Nice find. Here is the stack I put on our Bronco 14. It is for a Farmall Cub. I bought it at Tractor Supply. You would have to assemble a few elbows and nipples to get it to work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redav72 227 #39 Posted January 1, 2022 Another thing I'm running into. The twist-lock throttle is driving me crazy, I'll get it set and then is slowly slips to an idle. Any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree. Excellent use of advanced technology… But I think they should be painted either Regal Red or satin black. I mean, there are standards that should be met… 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
