From Dave Kirk's Killer Kohler Part 2

http://www.kirkengines.com/downloads...hlerPartII.pdf

"The standard muffler used is a three-chambered affair, housed in a 12 inch long by 5 inch
diameter can. While effective at reducing noise, it is somewhat restrictive to gas flow as
compared to a straight through glass pack. Searching several catalogs yielded nothing in
a high performance muffler in this size and configuration. A serviceable, used, standard
muffler was thus obtained and the end cap removed by grinding away the crimp. The
internal baffles and central tube were then removed by chisel and hammer, carefully
breaking through the spot welds. After removal, an empty can remained. A ¼ inch thick
sheet of muffler fiberglass wool was carefully measured and cut to line the inside of the
can diameter. A matching sheet of perforated steel was cut and placed inside of the
fiberglass wool. The perforated sheet was tack welded on the seam such that it forms a
rigid cylinder to tightly hold the fiberglass against the outer can walls. The end cap was
welded back on and the muffler painted with high temperature “barbeque black” paint. It
looked totally stock from outward appearances.
I reassembled it to the engine, eagerly anticipating the sound to be pleasingly noisier. To
my amazement, the muffler was actually quieter than stock! But it did have a nice, deep,
healthy sound, especially when the engine was carrying a heavy load. I had to slightly
richen the high-speed needle setting on the carburetor – a positive sign indicating that
airflow had been increased by this modification. Instead of the exhaust flow having a
tortuous and restrictive path to the outlet, it now exits into a large volume plenum with
pressure waves muted by the absorption properties of the wool. The engine now felt
stronger than ever with a baritone authority to its voice."

Thanks to Dave Kirk.

All ready to be welded.

And painted. I used the ol' "glop it on till it starts to run, then you're dun" technique.

And got a couple of new rims. From here;

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.
