CC 100 in metro KC

thanks for the suggestion, i didn’t know the 70 & 100 had different mufflers. i would like it to run quieter, for sure.

and yes the mower spindle shields are back in place after having been removed to clean out the hay they hauled from the original owner’s lawn.

is there any content on this site that points to the OEM part # for the 100 muffler? i had been leaning towards adapting a modern noise-suppressor muffler like what some hunters put on their ATVs. thanks,

100 muffler on the left (not Kohler, but pretty darn close), and Kohler O/70 on the right. The original O/70 Kohler muffler was the silver galvanized color, but finding one is rare. Most Kohler replacement engines were also painted black.
The downside to this: the 100 muffler will probably not reduce the noise any.

Or there was this option as well

Yes, in 65' when they transitioned to the next series of cub cadets.
