Quick-release muffler clamp?

In order to get my H into my garage I have to take the muffler off. Not a big deal since I have no clamp on it right now. But no clamp creates an exhaust leak from the bottom, which blackens my hood. So I want to get a clamp, but I don't want to have to break out the tools every time.

Anyone every seen or heard of a quick-release muffler clamp?
 
not me, how much to high is the muffler? maybe you could cut some off the top end muffler pipe.
 
Look up Andrews or Evertite cam-lock fittings. They
come in aluminum, brass, SS, and plastic. They have
sizes from 1/2" to at least 6" and are threaded or
welded. eBay has a good selection. Might have a
problem finding an asbestos, or similar, gasket.
Look at eBay stores for a dealer with a full line.
 
A toggle band clamp might be able to be found that would take a lever action to lengthen. There are examples on some hose connections for low pressure hoses. Maybe one could be fabricated. Look at the method used by some large hose clamps found on Constant Velocity drive shaft boots, or the rims of some container drums. Ski boot or roller blade fasteners are also over center style clamps. Good thinking, but it might need a handle to keep it from being too hot to use. JimN
 
Mike, In your case wouldn't it be easier to get the threades cleaned up in your manifold then clamp the muffler good to the pipe and spin the pipe and muffler out with your hands when you want to put the tractor away. Just an idea. Putter
 
It's a distillate manifold. The pipe is held on with two bolts, and I'd have to remove the hood to get at them, which means I'd have to take off the muffler and the precleaner.

Good idea, just not for this tractor. :D
 
How much too long is it? If you cut it, noone will know but you. No matter what you use for a clamp, taking it on and off you will always have a leak (unless you're real lucky).

Your tractor left the factory with a very short pipe. I really doubt if it will go under a normal garage door even if cut, but it may be worth a try. The longer pipes appeared sometime after 1947, just when I don't know, but the original muffler on Dad's 47 H was short.
