Gramps: I think your last respondant has the best idea. How much would you need to cut off the mufler top pipe? Exhaust systems going under tractors have always been a pain in the butt. They get damaged very easily, you spend half your tractor hours breathing in fumes. Over the years I have driven a few under exhaust tractors, and even if it is piped right to the drawbar I cant hack the fumes.

I remember one time a dealer bringing my dad a tractor to try out. Dad had some hay to bale, and he was baling the second windrow and using bale thrower and wagon. Dad being on a tractor he wasn't used to didn't notice some hay had caught on underside of tractor. When it finally let go on the corner the hay was on fire from exhaust heat. The hay was quite dry that day and before 3 of us got fire out it burned 1/2 acre of hay. I have heard other similar stories. One guy even burned his barn, hay on the ground around an outdoor bale conveyor that moved bales to barn. Upright exhausts can be bad also if to close to ceiling.
