The stack pipe is made of scrap stainless steel swimming pool ladder pipe I polished. Too bad the engine ran "lean" and "blued" the pipe before I had a chance to drill out the main jet in the card to richen it up a bit.

It's also got the insert muffler inside the pipe as I mentioned on the old forum.

Non-powered lug tires are supposed to be installed that way.

Donovan, I will try to use my knowledge from working with our auger cart on the farm. If the front wheels on his tractor were "driven," like a front wheel assist tractor, the tread would be facing forward (to "dig in"). You see this on any front wheel drive/assist machine.

Our auger cart has the tread facing backwards, resembling what is on the front of his lawn tractor. The reason is because the auger cart wheels are being "pulled." With the tread facing that way, instead of "diggin in," they will "ride on top/rize to the top" of the ground. In the relm of the lawn tractor, the front wheels are being "pushed" and don't need to "dig in." Facing them in that direction will keep them on top of the ground, which will allow them to operate properly as steerable wheels.

I hope this helps as its the only way I can describe it.

Default Front Lug Tires Lug Direction

To add what others said... When cornering, the outside edge of the outside front tire is what's doing most of the work in making the tractor turn. It's best if the outside edge of the outside tire lug placement is 90 degrees from the natural force that is trying to make the tractor go straight. Really makes a difference turning on poor terrain.

Default Stacks

Tractors have to have a stack or two. It is just makes them cooler.

Here's my stack. I just did it half a$$ed and cut angles with a chop saw and welded together instead of trying to bend it. I left the factory manifold pipe on the block too. It looks and sounds cool

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.
