 Topic: wd45 orchard - exhaust options
Posted: 04 Jun 2017 at 9:11pm |
|
i'm tired of replacing the exhaust on a standard wd-45 due to trees damaging it while mowing. Was there such a thing as a wd-45 orchard? Are there any options for a re-routed wd-45 manifold/exhaust that flows lower/ doesn't exit through the hood?

No such thing. You sit pretty high up, so you would be getting branches in your face too.
Not to sound like a jack ass, but I would trim the trees too.

fooling with the tractor is more fun than trimming trees, and i can dodge the branches.
But anyhow, i wasn't aware of an orchard wd-45, and it sounds like I was right. Figured I'd ask.

What about a wc manifold that comes out the side. I have a Wd that has the regular muffler but it has the plate on the manifold for the little short pipe that comes out the side

An apple orchard near me had a WD-45 with these full orchard style fenders on it. That was pretty much all it had that was different. Don't know if it was an official "orchard" tractor. I know where it is sitting, rotting away. The current owner is bull-headed and won't let go of it.

Pre-WW2 A-C tractors on steel wheels...because I'm too cheap to buy tires!

This is a good Idea. the WC and WD dont have the same bolt and port pattern do they? would a WC manifold fit?

Be simple to have a pipe bent to go towards the ground with a shorter muffler or just leave it as a straight pipe. Very little creativity should fix your problem.

On some tractors where they had a similar problem we got flexable exhaust pipe and piped it down the side and out the back with a muffler there if desired. Worked fine for us. Good Luck! Bill Long

 I use my D-17 for mowing around a lot of "scrub" apple trees on my property and I solved the problem you're having by using scrap pipes and resonators to make this. Works well and sounds good too!

The George Nesbitt auction has a WF Orchard advertised. I got a list of items with color pictures in the mail today. I imagine the Gone Farming website probably has the pictures.
