Growing up on a farm with old iron, we put mufflers on tractors (e.g. f-20) that never had them, to quiet them down. If I put an additional muffler on a J.D. 870s vertical stack, will this do any harm to the Yanmar diesel, besides maybe reduce power -- and will it help reduce purr in residentual area?Thanks for any help.

I have some experience with diesel engines. Adding additional mufflers or any restriction to the exhaust will cause additional back pressure. This in turn will cause more heat build up in the engine compartment. Watching the temp guage will give some indication of a potential problem but may not tell the whole story. Personally, I would not recommend adding the extra muffler. I would consult a dealer and take his advice. ....
