Stacks?
Lots of pro and con opinions! My 2 cents:
First if Cub engineeres would have thought they were a good idea they would have designed them in day one. They didnt for a lot of reasons mentioned. Safety, hearing and burns, noise, hitting obstructions, rain, bracing ....
Ok with that said I did put a custom stack on the 147R.
Why,
Stacks are for kids or old men that think there kids It looks cool, it has clean custom hot rod look, the rest of my tractor is not box stock show quality so the stack doesn't take away from a original look, It sounds awesome on the rebuilt 14 hp (another kid thing) (Might want to wear ear muffs too.) I did not really build it for yard work. Have taken it to a couple shows and had good comments. (check the thread "Added more IH equipment" towards the end)
I was inspired by the thread on stacks here on OCC. Some nice custom work went into those exhaust systems. I followed the more bracing is better than no bracing recommendations. I like to custom fab stuff, The stack assembly fit right into that too.
Its your Cub. Have some fun. Its only steel! Looking fowradr to the results!
Regards,
Chris

I have a stack on my 123. Its a ih-1 from farm and fleet. Not to terjribly loud unless the engine is really getting worked and I agree 100% wjith them getting caught on low branches and what not but my 123 just pulls the trailer and pushes snow in the winter and very seldom will it get used for grass dutys mainly only a backup. I have a rain cap on mine which does make a lot of rattling noises . It's all in personal opinion if you want a stack then I say go for it!!!! It's your equipment do want you wish don't worry about what other people think it only matters what you.think

Not exactly sure why but even in the old days of hot rods and big 4 wheele drive trucks, I never did want the extra noise in the drivers seat with me, always did what ever I could to keep the noise away.

I love the looks of stacks on cubs and just like everyone has mentioned if braced properly and use a rain cap there is nothing to worry about, straight pipe however will make you and the neighbors go deaf in a hurry. Here some pics of my stack on the 123.

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.
