Talked to Pete Little today. Still makes MM mufflers!

OK, this is the story: Pete Little is still making and selling mufflers for the UB and other Moline models. This is his "hobby." He takes calls at 620-354-6468. He will give you a quote either for a steel muffler or a stainless steel muffler. You send him a check and he sends you the muffler.
 
Yes, he is still around and active. He closed his Little Shop some years ago and then joined a White Dealer. He stopped doing that and now is making mufflers and perhaps other parts for Moline tractors. He said that when he fully retires, he hopes to have a successor to the muffler-making business.
 
(quoted from post at 17:01:04 04/22/21) I run one of his mufflers on my 37 ZTU. Top notch. Sounds and looks great.
Thanks for the reply. I am anxiously waiting for mine to arrive for the UB. The "Stanley brand" muffler is just too loud. Not much better than running a straight pipe. Don't want to have to wear hearing protection when using the tractor.
 
Put the new Pete Little muffler on the UB today. This replaces the MM-4 Stanley muffler. The Pete Little muffler is just what I was looking for. Engine noise is pleasant. Not too loud. Check out this muffler if you are not happy with the other brands.
 

The manifolds on my U and both my UB's have been switched out over the years. I run Stanley mufflers on them, based on the measurement of the manifold outlet and the length I need. I believe two of them are running a muffler originally intended for a Massey and the other one is for a Case if I remember correctly. They look correct and sound good in my opinion.

Just out of curiosity, how much to the Pete Little mufflers cost?

Some fine looking machinery there! Stanley may make some quieter mufflers than the MM-4, which I had on the UB. When you look down the barrel of the MM-4 muffler, there are no baffles, per se. It looks and sounds like a straight pipe. The Pete Little muffler was more expensive, but meets my needs and should last a long time. When you look down the barrel, you can see there are some baffles. What a difference they make! Cost? I will defer to Pete on this....let's just say north of $150.
 
Would you be so kind to give the muffler body's dimensions please?
Looking for a 2-3/4 inlet, about 4-1/2 diameter body and about 23 tall muffler for a near 30 year older tractor.
A predecessor truthfully.
Thank you. :)
EDIT: Talked to Pete and he said the big part of the muffler is 5 X 15 and said those are the replacements for the taller muffler I'm looking for.
2-3/4 inlet, 5 X 15 body, 2-1/2 outlet and 32 inches overall.
Rich, nice toys!
Thank you guys.
