I'm a newbe, please be gentle. Have seen ads for vertical replacement mufflers and pipe but nothing about adapters or replaceing manifold. How does this work? Have some tall, very dry grass acreage that needs some work. The stock horizontal muffler and pipe kind of scare me. Don't want to burn down my place or worse the neighbors.

I have a '48 8N with the stock horizontal muffler. I've mowed dry weeds & stuff taller than the hood and never started a fire. My brother-in-law had a Ford 900 with a vertical muffler. Every time I used it, the exhaust blew right in my face. Stick with the horizontal. Just my $0.02.

I think you are right. Spent labor day week-end laboring. Have some CRP grass, Orchard, Timothy, etc. and mowed along the edges of the woods where sprouts were getting out of control. Can't seem to get a good seal on the manifold/exhaust clamp and until it heats up and seals itself the smell is pretty nasty.

My Dad had one of those set ups with the U shaped pipe on a Ferguson 35.He went to the horizontal pipe because the vertical exhaust kept breaking the manifold.I wonder if a muffler shop could make up a bracket and adapter pipe to lay the muffler along the manifold like the Massey 50's.The 50 exhaust manifold supports the weight of the muffler on the manifold and just uses an elbow and piece of vertical pipe to direct the exhaust overhead.

Jim--

I'm very interested in a vertical exhaust system for my 8N. Where have you seen advertising for the setup?

The vertical muffler is simply a muffler where the pipe is bent into a "U" (180 degrees) after is exits the manifold instead of just a 90 degree angle as in the stock version. It points straight up and usually must be attached rigidly to the hood for stability. No modifications to the tractor are required.

...the bracket that is usually bolted to the hood. I like the looks of the vertical muffler, and the fact that the right running board doesn't get hot. Makes it bad for mowing under trees in the orchard, though.

My 9N has always had a vertical muffler. The bracket that holds it attaches to one of the bolts on the head. I think you can get the whole thing at CT Farm and Country. Enjoy....

I was hoping someone would provide the solution. Most of the 8N's I see w/ vertical mufflers have some sort of home-made bracket bolted to the side of the hood-usually a combination of muffler clamps and plumber's hanger tape.

That's the way my 9N was when I got it. They drilled two holes in the hood and used a standard muffler clamp to hold it up. After breaking off the muffler I went back to the horizontal muffler, no more dodging low tree limbs!
