Muffler height Super C

Was able to put some hours on my Super C this past weekend and would like to raise the muffler on it. The bottom of the muffler essentially sits almost on the hood and I tend to eat exhaust all day. My other tractors have the pipe much higher out of the hood. If I recall, the manifold is just 2" pipe thread correct?

I am concerned that if I try to remove that piece of pipe that I will damage a perfectly good manifold. Am I overlooking a simple solution? Don't want to add pipe to the top of the muffler, just thinking out loud for what others have done.
 
I did that, the pipe unthreaded with heat / tapping / PB Blaster / ATF / more heat.
That might be your easiest way, just install a longer pipe.
 
The threads in the manifold are 1 1/2" pipe thread. Generally a piece of threaded pipe about 10" long screws into the manifold and the muffler is clamped to this extension pipe somewhat above the hood. The correct muffler for a Super C is IH p/n. 360720R91 which has an overall length of 29". My Super C is restored with these original components and I was not bothered with the exhaust as I used it last week for a couple of days raking hay. You might have one of those shorter clearance mufflers like I have on a 140 for mowing under tree limbs with the belly mower. With the right components I think you will find your Super C very compatible with your needs for decent air to breath, Hal.
 
Remove hood.
Cut off pipe flush with manifold.
Use hacksaw blade or similar tool and cut inside of pipe in 2 places an inch or so apart.
Use chisel & hammer to fold the old pipe inward so you can unscrew it easily.
Good luck.

Grab a pipe wrench and turn it very gently. The one in my M
turned right out. I was shocked to say the least.
 
when you cut off old pipe, it may work a bit better if you cut it a quarter inch or so above manifold. this gives you a piece of old pipe to work with when you drive it inwards.

or you could have someone weld a piece of pipe ,on to the existing pipe.
 
If pipe in manifold is good I would do as Handyman said and go to muffler shop and have them make you up an extension to the length you want and they can make one up in just a few minutes.
 
Removing the old pipe coming out of the manifold can be tricky. Useing a torch they can be removed so you can put a new longer on. You will need a tap to chase the threads after removal. You can get new pipe any place just make sure its around 8in long then the muffler wont set on the hood and it will fit better. I just did one the other day.
 
Yup, you can't just slap a pipe wrench on the thing and reef away. That's a good way to sell yourself a new manifold.

Likely it's rusted in there solid.

Under normal circumstances you wait until there's basically nothing left of the pipe, then use a cold chisel to collapse it in away from the threads, and peel the pieces out with a needle nose vise grips. Clean the threads, chase them with a tap if you have one, and install the new pipe.

The other guys have you covered if the pipe is in good shape.
 
hope you can get it out, i have a similer problem on a cub but when i bought it the pipe had cracked, the previous owner had welded it to the manifold 14295 times so its a mess, and it wont hold, i lucked out and got a parts cub of similer vintage out of a fire, the manifold is perfect, but the attaching bolts on my tractor are corroded beyond usable, not sure why that is, when the parts tractor went thru a fire and they just unscrewed, and when i tried to remove one on my running cub the stud broke, i stopped as this will have to be a winter project im reasonable sure the rest will break too which means long tedious hours drilling out broken bolts....
 
When you do get it out replace it with stainless. I did that years ago and any time I've wanted to remove it it's turned right out. In fact if there is any problem at all it's keeping the stainless pipe tight enough in the manifold.
 
If you wanted to "cheat" and get by simple,just
leave your original pipe in the manifold and add a
"stubb" of a piece of exhaust tubing on top of it.
Just long enough to keep the bottom of muffler off
of the hood.

Then,if needed,you can also add to the top of the
muffler outlet as well with a short piece??

Not the MOST professional way,but would keep you
from having to twist that old pipe out and take a
chance on breaking threads. ;)
