The "Stack" that is often seen is a buggered up block waiting to happen. These Kohler thumpers vibrate a lot, and the top of that stack is a lever multiplying the vibration transferred to the junction between the block and the pipe. It's a poor idea without some way of supporting the "stack".

Sorry it's been a week. I cut the factory support off the rusted out factory muffler and welded it to the side of the Ford/Ferguson muffler. The new muffler sits entirely under the hood just like the factory one did. I do have a little stack that comes up on the other side of the machine for fun, but otherwise it's fairly hidden. My stack clamps on to the muffler outlet, so if it got bumped it could at least rotate out of the way if I was lucky. I don't have any low branches, so damage to it would have to be my fault in the garage... My reason for the VW part conversion was because I couldn't find a muffler to use where the exhaust entered from the side, so I settled on re-routing it to use a muffler that would fit under the hood. I had hoped to spin the factory elbow, but it was so rusted in that none of my tricks got it out, and I eventually cracked it on accident and had to chisel it out and start from scratch.

Looks good - Fancy! How's it sound? Normal muffled or loud?

To be honest, I never heard it run with an original muffler. I picked it up with the side of the factory muffler rusted out, and made my own muffler because I couldn't afford the factory one. After the connecting rod blew out when my dad was running it a few years later, I decided to rebuild the engine and find a better muffler. This one is a fair bit quieter than my homemade one, but still louder than the pepperpot muffler on my Original when standing on the loud side of the machine. The 169 is loud from any side... I can tolerate it without earplugs, but usually wear some on principle now unless I'm just moving it around for a minute. It's much louder than the same muffler on the Ferguson TO-35 sadly.

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.
