you can buy a tubing bender at HF....the dies are not
sized for exhaust tubing, but close enough, that if you fill the tubes you have with sand, they will bend just right in that bender. they aren't expensive.

If you don't have any of the tools with you, I might suggest renting this and getting everything done. It's cheaper than renting it to a repair shop and having someone do it for you.
I would suggest you use a pipe bender to bend the exhaust pipe, but be careful.
You can use lakeside-hire.co.uk if necessary.
It's not the first time I've rented tools there, and it always really helps me out.
If anyone has their own secrets on how to bend a pipe without using additional equipment?

I reported him, AGAIN!
As far as the OP goes, fill pipe with sand, heat and bend at will. The reason exhaust benders don't work so well is the small size of the pipe. Another thought is that the tractor don't have the power to push it up...

Whenever you attempt to hand bend any type of thin wall tubing using heat, if you leave it hollow you will fail every time. If you cap the end and pack it with sandblasting sand then cap the other end ensuring the tube is completely packed , once you apply heat the heat will distribute more evenly around the tube and not hole through. Because it has no way to kink the tube will stretch but only at a shallow curve. The other people are right. Purchase a mandrel bent 90 and weld up your profile. Industrial cities will have a mandrel tube bending shop somewhere and they can program the computer to bend almost any profile---just not cheap. I've seen them bend us up crazy complex tubes for our refrigeration system at work. That mandrel bender is an amazing machine.

Well, since it was over 4 years ago, I'm thinkin' he figured something out by now.

Yessir, I ended up filling it with sand, then bending and it worked fairly well for a first-time try.

Why didn't you just get the vertical muffler for the Frog in the first place? Those Stanley mufflers won't last that long anyway. I've also seen those that add a flex pipe to the underslung pipe and bring it up to the rear of the fender for a vertical discharge. Who cares how crappy it looks, it's a Frog

If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.
Real pullers don't have speed limits.
If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY

Adding a vertical extension to the outlet would’ve defeated the purpose of getting the undershot exhaust pipe up and out of the wheat straw.
I was using the old muffler to make the vertical one. It wasn’t that good, and I only used it that one year. I had just restored the tractor so I had a new muffler to use the rest of the year.

Get the proper setup for it. Cheap and easy and then you have both complete setups to use as you wish. We got one for our MF35 almost as soon as we got it home. Got so tired of exhaust in your face every time you were back there. Never used underslung again!
