My poor TO35.....I broke (literally) my 23c exhaust manifold. Running under a tree branch, caught the pipe and broke an ear off the elbow and an ear off the manifold. Two for the price of one.
Been looking around fleabay (no tractor yards near me) and the manifolds offered there to me are somewhat questionable. After 50+ years, they are rather beat. I don't want to spend $100 and find the casting is cracked (like mine was). No local machinist to weld and retap mine that I can find. Found new - but in England. Pricey, but to me a simple install and happy tractorin'.
Question is - they refer to the manifold as fitting an FE35, and TEF. Definitely 23C. I'm confident it'll fit my engine - any reason it would be a poor choice? Is the manifold the same as was installed on a TO35? Any history on these aftermarket parts?
Anyone know availability of any repro's stateside?
Thanks to all -
