Replacement Mufflers, Hoods For Farmalls

Replacement Mufflers, Hoods For Farmalls TRACTORS Accessories 27-5-38 You can restore the original look and sound of a Farmall tractor with these new replacement mufflers that are built to original specifications, both inside and out. The mufflers are made from galvanized sheet metal and are designed to fit Farmall H and M models as well as Farmall A, B and C models. They clamp on using a zinc-plated clamp just like on the original mufflers. "The way these mufflers are built internally is totally different from standard replacement mufflers. They make an altogether different sound that's beefier and much more mellow," says Mark Wood, Mark's Tractors, Gifford, Ill. "The mufflers are crimped together, with no external welds. At one time, several different manufacturers made original style mufflers for IH, but the last company quit making them about 20 years ago. Most replacement mufflers on the market don't look or sound at all like the original ones. "I came up with the idea because I restore tractors and got tired of the replacement models everyone was using. As far as I know we're the only company that makes an original style muffler for this tractor." The mufflers sell for $79 plus $9 S&H. The zinc-plated clamps sell for $7 apiece. Wood also recently introduced reproduction tractor hoods for Farmall A, B, and C tractors. The hoods attach with spring-loaded brackets . "The original hoods on these tractors are made of thin sheet metal so they dent easily and also rust out. The thin metal makes it almost impossible to repair them to their original look," says Wood. The reproduction hoods are sold as bare, unpainted metal. They sell for $100 plus $15 S&H.
