MC exhaust question - low mount option

[uppercanada]

Looked at an MC today with what looked like a factory "grove exhaust" (the exhaust comes horizontally right out of the manifold, not through the top of the machine - for clearance under trees for instance?)
The MC serial number was in the 17,000s.

What is the story on this setup? Is it common?

I found a picture of what I mean:

That is the orchard exhaust attachment, it is goes on top of the factory manifold, and routes the exhaust out on the side. Not a real common deal, but I have/have had several.

Thanks for clearing that up, Lavoy.

P.S., just a suggestion, if you wrote a book talking about the all of details of these machines (and how to restore them), I - and everyone else on here - would buy a copy for sure. However, I am aware that much good information, in one place, would be priceless (!) Even a version we could read on the computer would be great......

At the speed I write, we would be all old and dead before I got it done.

I already have to increase the font size just so I can read it!
