My 1959 630 has a straight pipe exhaust on it. I love how it sounds, and it's great for parade duty, but it's a killer on the ears when using the tractor for actual work. I always wear hearing protection if I'm using it for more than a few minutes.
I have considered picking up an aftermarket replacement of the stock muffler, in hopes that it would quiet it down. Does anyone have video of their 630 ( or 620 or 60) running with the factory style muffler?
Another consideration that I have is whether the muffler will arrest sparks better than the straight pipe. I have never seen sparks come from the exhaust, but I do occasionally pull the tractor into the barn, and that would be nice peace of mind.
Thanks!
