873 Bobcat Muffler

[w38571]

Hard to pay BobCat the 570.00 for a muffler. Anyone know of an aftermarket muffler for a 873 ?

Thanks

I just ran my 753 straight piped. :usa Its really not too bad, the fan almost makes more noise then the exhaust. And it cost me 15 bucks!!

Only problem with straight pipe is no spark arrestor,

Is it needed?

I'm afraid to run an open pipe due to fire & there would be no back pressure on the engine.

One of the many reasons I have divorced Bobcat...

I was in tractor supply the other day and they had a muffler there that could be used. With some modification of course

I did save mine by taking it off and rebuilding it I cut the metal for the ends and mig it and save about 250 dollars, All it took is a little time.

we just made a muffle for a T190. I took some 1/8 inch strap 4 inches wide and cut 4 pieces 23 inches long. we welded up a 3 sided box 4 x 4 x 23 and put 3-4 baffles inside, then welded the last side in place. I used the original inlet 180 degree elbow from the old muffler and MIG into place. we bought a 1-3/4 dia stainless flex exhaust pipe 12 inches long and used it on the motor manifold to muffler pipe.

diesel engines do not need back pressure and there is no vacuum in the intake also.
