It finally happened. My muffler finally broke completely off on my 2005 Farm Pro 2430. I have had it welded a couple of times but it was always kind of wobbly. It is the two bold design that looks like it could be hard to find. The part I found on dealers' websites is the four bolt design. When it broke off, it left about 6 inches of the old muffler along with part of the baffle. The remaining stub is still securely attached to the exhaust coming out of the engine.
Two questions:
1. Are there specific diesel tractor mufflers or are mufflers interchangeable between gas and diesel engines?
2. I'm thinking about getting a generic muffler (maybe from Tractor Supply) and clamping it to the remaining stub that was left. Wonder if that would work?
