Jrblanke 881 #1 Posted January 18 Hey guys, Will a nelson muffler from a C-series fit on a 1057 or similar tractor? Or an 8hp nelson muffler from C series fit on an 857ish tractor? Just wondered if anyone has done this. It looks like there is less room on the 60s tractors than there are on the C series. James Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 69,413 #3 Posted January 18 The few 60s tractors I've seen had "pepper pot" mufflers. There are two sizes of Nelson mufflers. Small can was originally installed on C Series up to 1977 or so. Maybe a hair later. Large can started after. Small can diameter is about 2 3/4". Large can is closer to 3 1/4" or more. I really doubt a small can will fit. I'm quite sure a large can will not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stepney 2,335 #8 Posted January 19 When I lived with my folks, I used my Electro for snow removal in the winters. Semi snobby neighborhood but at one time I handled several driveways, and mowed yards in the summer. Snow work started early. Apparently 6-7am was 'much too early' for 'noise' even though everyone else was also snowblowing. Ah, Vacationland.. anyway. I rigged up a C160 muffler on the side of my E12. It runs very very quiet and keeps your toes nice and toasty in the snow hahah. Clears the PTO just fine when I had it installed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They're another example of "get what ya pay for" to some extent. I don't know if there's an Original Equipment type available anymore. The aftermarket replacements are DEFINITELY thinner. An NOS actual Gravely would be great but likely as easy to find as hen's teeth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
