Default Kohler Command muffler

I have two Command engines that have the baffles and/or tubes loose inside the muffler. Lot's of rattling around. I'd like to cut open the muffler and remove the loose pieces.

I know I need to cut a hole someplace. Just not sure where.

Anyone have any useful tips for this?

It's looking like I am the only one to have this problem?

Uncrimp the left end on one, if that does not work, uncrimp in the other one on the right end and see what falls out.

Yeah, but I'm afraid if I do that, I can't seal the ends back on to be leak free.

I'm thinking cutting a 1 1/2" 2" hole in the end would be a little cleaner deal if I knew where to cut.

I gas weld the ends when they break/ rust or blow out on the opposed twins,
-------Works for me.
A mig usually is unsuccessful on thin rusted metal.

Well, that helps. I was going to use a Mig to close it up. Been a long time since I gas welded.

I was thinking more along the lines of using a hole saw, in the right spot and cut hole of some pre-determined size and location. Then, cut another patch slightly larger and close the hole up with a Mig.

I'm not in a hurry to pay CC's price for a new muffler.

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.
