vertical exhaust
 

Hello everyone and Happy New Year. I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction. I was looking to put a vertical exhaust on my new to me Spirit of 76 tractor. A gentlemen at the threshing show I met in August said that Fleet Farm has some but I have not found any when searching. Anything after market that you have had success with I would appreciate it. Thank you, Chris

Tractor supply sells Stanley mufflers, but it is for the muffler, you will have to fab up a way to connect it to the briggs engine though. Does it have a cigar style one on it?

It does not have have one. The inlets for the Stanley mufflers are 2 and 3/4 inches. Does anyone know the size coming off the engine so that I could buy the pipes? Thank you, Chris

I know that you didn't ask for my opinion but I'll give it in case you hadn't considered...
If you like to keep a cover on your favorite tractor, the vertical stack sticking up in the air prevents the cover from fitting nicely and securely.
And....
A vertical stack on small tractors exits the exhaust at the perfect level for face time. (i.e. fumes in eyes and nose)
:TwoCents:

And (due to inflation and the penny not being made anymore)I'll add my $.05
:biggrin2:
An unsupported stack puts undue stress on the pipe/block area.
Also takes away from the originality of the cute little tractor.

But one should not be swayed against their own feelings/desires.
That said:
I'm older than dirt with severe ringing in the ears because of loud noises, like rock music in the late 50's/60's, farm tractors, expansion chambers on 2 strokes and
industrial noise, did my ears no favors.
I hear no crickets, or high bird chirps and a normal conversation in a noisy evviroment or the like, cant be heard.
Hearing aids are useless only making the noise louder.:bigthink:
Just my unsolisted experience.

I do appreciate the suggestions. I have a vertical straight pipe on my Quietline and yest it is very loud. As my neighbors say it scares the trees away. I do like the look of the vertical exhaust with rain cap on these little tractors.

The threads are 3/4" I.P. Get your hands on a nipple and go from there till you get the size you need. Don't forget to support it.
