Jerry: I use my "47 M as my loader tractor, especially for snow. There is nothing worse than having the old gal start to buck and jump when carb icing occurs. I fixed my problem in 2 hours. I got two large coffee cans, some 2 inch flexible heated air intake tubing at Napa, and 6 inches of 2 inch exhaust pipe. I cut the pipe in half, used a hole drill to drill a 2 inch hole in each coffee can and soldered one three inch exhaust pipe to each, I then used a 2 and a half inch hole drill to drill a hole in the center of the bottom of one coffee can and slid it down the stack of the muffler. the open end of the can seats very well against the top of the wide portion of the muffler. I hole-drilled three one inch holes on the sie of the can for air to get to the intake. (This air takes heat from the top of the muffler and stack and goes through the system to keep the carb warm). The other can I drilled a hole in and slid it down the intake pipe. Now here is the catch that makes it work there...I used the mushroom air cleaner ( it fits int the coffee can wonderfully) So...Slide on the coffee can, then the mushroom air cleaner the the original plastic lid of the coffee can. (it just rests on top of the mushroom) Then take the flexible heated air intake tubing and slide it on the exhaust pipe previously soldered to each can. I really works well, very low investment, and 2 to 2 and a half hours to do. Hope this helps!!
