I picked up a Troy-Bilt LXT-1842 with a 18hp B&S engine. I got it used (for a STEAL) and it runs great and cuts clean. But it seems extremely loud to me. Today I decided to look around to see if the muffler was disconnected or had a hole in it, etc. I decided to pop it out to take a look. When I disconnected the muffler I expected to have to disconnect the pipe from the engine...to my surprise it just slid off the pipe and was in my hand. Well I was sure that it must have broke off so I jumped on line to look up the replacement part. To my shock I appears to be two separate pieces and I do not see how the pipe "connects" to the muffler.
So my question is does the pipe just slip in and sit there without any mount?? I can't post a link cause I'm new. But if you google troy-bilt ltx-1842 muffler and click on the parts tree link that will show you the diagram of what I'm talking about. I'm referring to part #26 & #28.
I appreciate any insight!! And apologize for not being able to post the link!
