I have seen alot of older tractors with large chrome stack. A few of the pics in the photo section really make the tractor look good. I have seen tractors with 3" diameter chrome stacks. Does the larger pipe and no muffler effect the performance of the tractor. Does it benifit the tractor or is it just for looks. Where can you buy one????? How do you decide on the size?? Diameter 2.5" or 3" or 4" etc and how tall?? I am thinking of adding a 3" dia chrome stack to a MF 165 dsl, Does anyone have any comments

About CHROME PIPES !!!!

Another hit about chrome pipes. If you put them on a turbo'ed tractor it is pretty bearable. On a non-turbo diesel it is a whole lot louder.

Here's what I done on my puller. I took a 3" polished stainless pipe and put a 2" inside of it. If you don't have an air space on the two pipes, you spend most of your time polishing the outside one as it does turn a little "BLUEISH" when heated....deadeye

Hello Charlie,

Here is a picture of one of my F-20's. Well you said Old tractors! :)

Anyway this is a stainless stack. It really is to short since the exhaust comes right back on the driver. I like it, but I don't drive the tractor that much.

running the tractor with no muffler will increase horse power, and running a larger diameter pipe might decrese resistance alittle more giving an extra horse power or two, but I think a larger pipe for the most part will also amplify the sound, as well as look badder. I'd atleast want one tall enough to go over my head, or over the cab if your tractor has one, to get the exaust away from me.

Using the proper length and diameter pipe will increase power. The inertia of the exhaust will leave negative pressure behind and assist the next cylinder scavaging. There is too big and too small dia.

Hey Charlie -
I know of a MF 165 that is sitting. Is it a good rig? I have a MF 50c backhoe that I like. Just curious.

I really like my tractor. MF 165 is around 55 hp, perkins dsl, pwr steering, etc, I bought it to help maintain my aunts place, help my brother, clear some land and a big toy!!!! I was looking for a 3000 Ford dsl but could not find one that wasn't beat up or totally restored $$$. I purchased the MF 165 from a guy I new who was looking for a larger tractor. Best deal I ever did. Very good tractor, strong and reliable.

Does a straight pipe hurt the engine? I have heard that a straight pipe will hurt the engine because of no back pressure?

Old wive's tale! The only thing a straight pipe might hurt is your hearing - it sure won't hurt the engine.

just make sure ya let it idle for a minute or two before ya shut it down or it is more likely to warp exaust valves with a straight pipe since it is easier for the hot valves to get hit with cold air since there is not resistance thru the muffler

The only way a low estriction exhaust burns valves and that's when the engine is operated at full power and too lean.Lean is hotter, just like setting a oxy-acetylene torch. If the origional exhaust was restrictive the carb main jet may need increasing a size or two.

Thanks for the reply! Now I am going to go out and put a straight pipe on my tractor. I have always heard that it hurts the engine. I am glad to know different.

Huh? What?

Think long and hard about that. When I was 17 I used to love to listen to a diesel scream on a cold morning with a straight pipe. Now I'm 35 and have differential hearing loss in my left ear. Almost 60% gone in it and 15% in the right one. Cant tell it hurts you if you are in a cab but on an open tractor I know it does.

Yep, me too. I'd give anything to have that hearing back...but, when you are young, you think that you are bulletproof.

Don't work that way. I think youth is wasted on young people. :>)

Yeah, remember a few years back that country song that went, "I'd like to be sixteen again and know what I know now". Have always remembered that and it would be great! If only! Will have to settle for thinking young, tempered with the bit of wisdom my age may have brought.
