| 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? |

sounds like trimming the trees would be the simple solution...just saying ------------- 54 wd-45gas ; 56 wd-45d N/F w/fact p/s ; 63 d-17 sIII N/F gas ; 60 D14 N/F ; 67 d-17 sIV N/F gas ; 63D15 sII W/F; 39rc#667 ; 2021 massey 4710 fwa ; gravely 2 wheel tractors |

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. ------------- '49 G, '54 WD45, '55 CA, '56 WD45D, '57 WD45, '58 D14, '59 D14, '60 D14, '63 D15D, '66 D15II, '66 D21II, '67 D17IV, '67 D17IVD, '67 190XTD, '73 620, '76 185, '77 175, '84 8030, '85 6080 |

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 ------------- 2 wd 45,2 D-17 diesel/gas 3 pt, 220,d21, 4020,2 4430s used daily http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCudh8Xz9_rZHhUC3YNozupw |

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. |
