In Reply to: muffler or pipe posted by soundguy on November 17, 2011 at 17:34:56:
When all of my tractors were still working machines (not that long ago mind you, time hit about 1960 here and then stopped) they all had straight pipes. My grandfather said they ran warm with the muffler, honestly I think he just liked the noise.
Now that I'm the one in charge of them I've mixed it up a bit. The A has a muffler (which is really for the 200 we used to have) and the BN doesn't. Just to get on and put around I like the straight pipe BUT every now and then when I really work them I like the muffler. I'm fairly young and want to keep my hearing, having my ears ringing at the end of the day isn't all that fun.
The only thing I can tell you about the Stanly muffler is that it will quiet your C down some but they're still kind of loud. They also tend to rust pretty quick. I really like the Nelson muffler I have on my SM, that's a nice unit that sounds good and doesn't show hardly any wear.
The OEM muffler (real IH) I have on the A is really nice too, I just wish dad didn't run into a beam with it and dent it...they're not making those things anymore!

I have tuned it up, overhauled the carburetor, installed a borrowed, rebuilt magneto, installed a new Power-Trol, patched the radiator, installed new front wheels a
