I remember what those tractors sounded like when new, very different from other makes. A very distinct sound that many people have never heard. That is what I want and already have one on a C and one on a Super H that Mark's Tractors sold before he apparantly went out of business. If you want the current muffler get it from CaseIH, loud but not anything like a straight pipe. Personally I do not like straight pipes because I know what it is supposed to sound like -- it is your decision, there are no rules. By the way I lost probably half my hearing because of that sound I liked in the 50's. Also because of the equipment I have used since then. Hearing protection is the only way to go.

I agree with the above.
If you are wanting to get a muffler, I would not waste your money on anything other than the original-type mufflers that C&G are making. The rest of the mufflers on the market are basically straight pipes anyway. There is nothing like that sound that a C makes. It's hard to describe. You just have to put that original-type muffler on, and then you'll say "Yep, that's a C!"
I doubt you will be disappointed with getting that original-type muffler. You can always put the straight pipe on and wake up the neighbors when you want to.

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
