Well the 1550 Utility threw me a curve ball today. I got the OL-4 88 diesel muffler and was ready to install it when I got thrown. I had to cut the old one off with a die grinder then a chisel and hammer to brake it loose, Once off I found this one is different. Instead of a pipe nipple about 6" long I found it has a short cast nipple that is 2 7/8" wide with an 1 3/4" hole in it. No worry about restricting the flow at the muffler it already there. I don't have to worry about the hood as it has been butchered up but good, Now I know why there is bondo on it. An hour of tapping and a pipe wench and I knew it was not going to move so plan B. Plan B go to the auto parts store get some adapters and champs and hopefully with some cutting and welding I will have it together. Do any of you guys with 1550 utilities have this same fitting on yours? This sure threw me for a loop. I learned something new today, If you think you have it figured out, You Don't! Bandit
