How loud are Command engines?
Those of you that have been around the Command engines in the Cyclops machines, just how loud is the exhaust supposed to be? I swear mine is the loudest thing on the farm. Initial inspection of the muffler shows no holes. I'm wondering if it is burnt out internally or if someone has tried knocking the baffle out of it. I wear ear plugs when mowing, but this thing is still obnoxiously loud. Even at a fast idle this thing is loud. Looking for a little feedback before I order a new muffler (you know that ain't going to be cheap). For the record, my Magnums, KT or the Onan even come close to this for volume.

When I did the command swap on my 782 I can say the ch18 was considerably quieter than the kt17.

Replace the muffler John. It isn't supposed to be that loud.

Thanks guys. For whatever reason, we rarely have to replace mufflers on anything, not just lawn mowers, and then they are rotted through to the outside. I'll start pricing them. I'll price Kohler and Cadet--suppose I better make sure this is not unique to a Cadet application.

Well Cadet is sure proud of it. I only paid a little more for the entire lawnmower! I'll search around some more. Who knows, maybe a custom muffler is in its future--thank goodness I know guys that can weld!

FWIW. I have an assortment of Magnum, Command and Vanguard twins.
The Magnums seem the quietest followed closely by the Vanguard. The Command is louder. Then there is another Command that is much louder than the other Commands I own. It is on a tractor I bought that had accompanying paper work from a dealer that stated the muffler needed replacing because of a blown out internal baffle. No visible external holes. As noted above, due to the pride CC takes in it's product pricing, I will continue to drive on like it is. |

I love the sound of my good Command CH18. I can hardly hear it over the grass crying. If it's loud, the muffler has an issue. I wouldn't run it too long if it's leaking, I have some experience on this subject ... I had melted plastic on the air cleaner cover and valve cover from a leaky loud muffler blowing exhaust heat directly up from behind the heat shield... and probably other ventilation issues exacerbated the issue... but I think mostly it was the leaking 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.
