I am sure this has been covered before, but: I need to be able to store my S/C under cover without removing the muffler.
Ideas please. Email is open-I think.

Fivewindow, your picture brings back a fairly painful but humorous memory. We have a B with a horizontal muffler. It has a belly mower and the horizontal muffler doesn't snag branches when mowing under trees. One time when I was mowing I drove it straight toward a low building , stopped with the nose of the tractor at the building and planned to back up. What I didn't realize was the muffler was blowing exhaust up under the eve of the roof and right into a wasp nest. The first mad wasp hit me on the ear, then another one. I bailed off the tractor and ran, leaving the tractor sitting there running wide open, mower running with a swarm of wasps attacking it. It was quite awhile before I got the wasps eliminated with wasp and hornet spray so I could shut the tractor down.

Thanks All for your help. Very much appreciated. DC

I. did it . Apologies to the correct police.

I saw a M tractor plowing snow on the web somewhere that had a sweep installed to mount the muffler exhausting horizontally toward the front with a 45 on the end. I am thinking about trying that on my SC.

You mean something like the one in this picture I found on net . We had a bank barn years ago that we had to load manure out of and put a stock muffler laying down on our Farmall B but let the exhaust blow straight out in front of tractor. Make sure you leave enough room between muffler and hood so you don't burn paint on hood.

That's the idea, why not. I mow along the field edges and have to dodge tree limbs.

i have been advised to never snug up the muffler clamp. (we have trees and if you bump the muffler on a low hanging limb, it might not break the manifold) so the muffler lifts off , with ease. kind of

That's what chainsaws are for. I keep every thing trimmed up so I can get under trees without limbs taking muffler or me off tractor.

ANY ideas? I had to store my H in the old garage, with a lower-height door opening, so I drove up gently, stopped, and hack-sawed off the muffler pipe so she'd fit underneath. Worked just fine.
