Been many years since I saw (or heard) one of the orginals with small outlet pipe, but now that you mention it, I believe you are correct in they had no baffle, and my guess is that the smaller outlet pipe helped the sound. Those that have not heard what the 113, and 123 engines sounded like working with that muffler will not appreciate it, however I can still hear dad cutting hay or cultivating corn with the C (same one I now have). I always thought it funny, as he would actually sing while working the C, and I am pretty sure he thought no one could hear him, however the exhaust was quiet enough that the transmission whine, and his voice was louder than the exhaust with it working several hundred yards away in the field. That was back in the mid 60's, and dad sure loved his C. My mom used to say how she loved to hear dad working in the fields on his tractor. It does not get as much use now, however believe it or not I cut about 60 acres of hay using his C and sickle mower each year. Some (including my wife) think I am odd using that old rusty C and sickle mower.
