Quiet exhaust

[jonyyuma]

Maybe you could braze a steel nipple on it then clamp the flex pipe to the outside. Yes, I had a tractor 4 hours from the house too...Painful failures always stopped the action...Rust frozen parts are never fun and the bolts weakened from heat. Just saying since it was IH, about parts..

Here are some pics of my current exhaust:

I have since removed the pipe off the manifold, and have some plate ordered to make a new flange.

A good woven flex pipe at the manifold will be a good idea. Looks like the exhuast will block easy access to starter removal, so being able totake flex pipe off to get starter out is easier than dropping the complete exhaust.

On my dad's ford 800 jubilee we re-routed the exhaust under the tractor and added and economy car muffler from napa that fit the tubing we were using. I believe the muffler is right behind the mount for the fel and right under the clutch side floor board. It then has a tail pipe out the back with a slight turn down at the end. It is super quiet and makes for a great hay ride puller around their property each fall. You hear more whine from the gears than you do exhaust noise.

I like to use flex joints rather than flexible tubing, yes they're pricey but they are stainless and i've never had to replace one. Keeps all the various vibrations out of the exhaust system and lowers the stress on the exhaust manifold. You don't have to come right off the manifold with one , you can make your downpipe then add it in.

I have noticed tractor exhaust brazed or silver soldiered before..and manifold repaired the same way.. You can probably still get another new one for it? personally I always hated header burns ..

Back in the day when I was a kid, we refered to those 'love bites' you got at the drive in as 'header burns'........

I built the exhaust a few days ago. The rest of the tractor is a work in progress, so I won't have it back on for awhile. I'll snap some pics then.

The B414 was originally a diesel only for the first year, with the exhaust on the right. Stock went straight down the right to the foot steps, then turned to a cross-under muffler, then turned back and exited on the left side.

The gas engine exhausts on the left and the stock system crosses over to the right just behind the engine, then continues along the path of the diesel exhaust - presumably to minimize the number of parts.

I couldn't find a muffler that was short enough, nor pre-bent 90' elbows tight enough to package the muffler under the tractor without interfering with something, so I just ran it along the left side, close to the chassis until the foot steps, then it juts out a bit to the left where it joins a muffler and exits just past the left axle.

I decided against the flex pipe, figuring that the factory didn't have it so it probably wasn't necessary. Built my own hangers to utilize some of the existing threaded holes but had to drill and tap a couple of holes in the rear axle on one of the bosses (didn't pierce the axle housing) for some bolts to hold up the muffler end.

Appreciate everyone's help.

It turns out I need a new hydraulic filter on the suction side. The old one was so full of crud that it collapsed itself. I can't fill the hydraulic system without the new filter (it's on order) and I can't start the tractor with the hydraulic system empty, so I won't know for a couple of days how well the muffler works. Can't be worse than what I had!

They have muffler or they did for B414 under the rear.

It looks like that exhaust manifold might flip.. as in pull it off and turn it up... Is it possible?

It may make routing th pipe easier... Although maybe it relys on the backpressure from the bend....

Only if I could find a carb that ran upside-down.

The exhaust manifold and intake manifold are all one casting.

Would have been a good idea otherwise...

That's called a downdraft carb.. Sorry just yankin your chain.
