Muffler Replacement-JD 318

Looks like I've got to remove the Electro-Clutch to get at the mounting bolts! Any surprizes in my future? TIA! Scotty

Well, there being no further input from the gallery, I ventured forth! The muffler bolts are indeed covered by the Electro-Clutch mounting plate. But, here's a tip! Remove the four clutch mounting bolts completely. Rather than remove the clutch assembly, just rotate the rear mounting plate 90*! The plate is rectangular. By turning it, you can access the muffler bolts! ~"Scotty"
