I have a LT1045 that's about 10 yrs old. It had a 20HP Kohler Courage SV600-0009 that had the loose bolt/cracked case problem. I held it together with JB Weld for a couple of seasons, but it got to the point where I couldn't control the oil leaking any more. I replaced it with a 19HP Briggs & Stratton Intek 33R877. The engine runs fine - the only problem is that the previous exhaust pipe does not fit correctly. Does anyone know of a "stock" pipe that will work? Does anyone know of a supplier of flexible exhaust pipe that I could scab in place of the old? My neighbors seemed concerned that I am mowing with no hood on the tractor. Just looking for a solution to this minor problem.
Thx.
