I had the AC 160 mower out and a walnut branch nailed my muffler and broke the seam just above the manifold (it's a Stanley replacement that isn't that old nor has it seen that much use).
Looking for a quick fix locally and then maybe I'll order a nice one (my other tractor has an old Nelson on it that is easily probably 30 years old.... the seam split and it is finally rusting through, but man, what a great muffler she has been).
Does the WD take a different muffler than a WD 45? Both of my tractors are the crooked shifter WDs (yes, they are WDs, at least as their decals show, and I know both of their former owners and know they are in an original configuration).
I ask because looking online, I see different part numbers for the WC thru 1953 WDs and then for 1953 WD 45s thru D-17s. But I've been burned before with my crooked shifter WDs sometimes having parts from one side of the line and not the other. Anything I can check or measure? Like the inner diameter of the manifold outlet throat, to see what replacement muffler I need? Or does anybody know the right parts offhand?
