Well after some mowing with this thing I realized these command engines run hotter than the mags do. I couldnt even touch the hood it was so hot so that got me thinking about a better flowing exhaust system to expell the heat a little better. This is what I came up with 1.125" head pipes 3.5" exhaust tubing and a single 1.5" outlet I also welded some baffles inside of the exhaust tubing to help quiet it down. Everything worked out rather well its quite a bit louder than stock style muffler but not deafening it also flows much better I can now touch the hood without burning my hand. I still have a little work to do on my heat shield. Wally

You still need a shroud to enclose the muffler and direct all of the cooling air over the muffler and out the front grille. The Commands run no hotter than the magnums or KTs.

Did you do anything between the fire wall and air inlet for the blower housing? If not you should otherwise you will be recirculating hot air. On the 1882 I repowered with a CH22 I cut the flange out of the fire wall for a 2000 series and riveted it to the factory fire wall and then used some of the bellows from the 2000 series to seal it up. It has worked well.

If you want to sell the other muffler shoot me a PM

The back fire wall does have a flange that fits pretty close to the back side of the blower housing with in an 1/8 th of an inch but the bottom is pretty open one thing I have noticed is on this engine is it doesnt seem to move as much air out of the front of the tractor as the mag engines I have run. This engine runs great and has great power I havent heard any spark knock or detonation while running under a load. I dont think its over heating it just seems to run hotter than the mag engines Im used to. I used to have an 1811 that I ran for part of the summer without the exhaust shields because it was missing them when I got it and it didnt seem to get as hot as this one does. but i did notice the hood was cooler once I did get them installed. I will get my muffler shield finished but it does seem to be much better since the new exhaust I made.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
