I have a Ford 335 industrial tractor with the 3 cylinder gas engine, and a vertical exhaust. Even with ear plugs and earmuffs, I feel like it's still pretty loud. The muffler is brand new, but it's one of those straight-through kind of mufflers, so I don't expect it to quiet it down much.
Thought about converting it to run under the tractor, but I don't want to put that much time and effort into it.
Any significant drawbacks to getting a auto muffler at Farm and Fleet, and mounting it vertical on this tractor? I imagine the back pressure would be a little higher than the OEM muffler, but at the same time, I only use the tractor for bush hogging and some light loader work, so I'm not putting a lot of strain on the engine.
Gotta think others have done this in the past?
