I did not think about the heat issues. What I realy do not like is everytime I go into the barn, I take the hot muffer off. As soon as I get it in the barn, I put it back on (because it is hot and I do not want the hot muffer to burn down my barn). I know one day, I would back it out and rip the muffer right off of the top.

I thought about laying the muffer parallel with the hood, but then I would I get a face full of exhaust. What might work is to have the muffer this way and run the exhaust right out the front of the tractor. This way the exhaust would discharge the furthest from the driver.

I thought about making a really short muffler and mounting it as the orginal.

I believe the design engineers with a top mounted muffler believe the bulk of the exhaust would go up over the driver. This is true in my case, unless I stand on my tractor while driving. When I do this I get a face full of fumes depending on the wind.

I think the best idea is to have the muffler parallel and then have the tip bend up (toward the sky). This way the fumes would still go up and I should still get it under the barn door.

What kind of spacing do you think I need to keep the heat off of my hood? I do not want all my paint to peel.
