I kinda like the beefy look of it and the throaty sound it makes.
A couple people have mentioned I should put a muffler on it.

I do a lil parts swapping and stuff with some buddies, and can get a NOS stanley muffler he has, that should fit up fine..already put the caliper on it .. etc..
...don't know if I actually want to.. i *DO* like the look of that solid stack and the sound.. :)
opinions?

You own it, you ought to do what you want with it. If you have neighbors like mine, a few hours with a straight pipe, even on a small tractor, might have them offering you suggestions.
Some Stanley mufflers have baffles, some don't. I have one on a Case tractor that has baffles, and it's pretty quiet. All the ones I have on IH tractors don't have baffles, but they do cut the noise level down some.
I haven't had one Stanley muffler that I've bought in the last five years that didn't leak somewhere within the first year. One fell apart completely on a Farmall M in about 50 hours. I have a couple of Stanley mufflers that have been on tractors for 15+ years that are in as good of or better shape than a 3 year old one.
If the NOS one is actually "old", it's a decent muffler quality-wise, but it's not the silencer the original IH ones were.
If you're worried about your hearing, buy ear plugs or even better hearing protection. When I plow a tank or two of gas out of my M with a Stanley muffler, that tractor still echoes in my head the next day.

Today's Featured Article - The Cletrac General GG and the BF Avery A - A Bit of History - by Mike Ballash. This article is a summary of what I have gathered up from various sources on the Gletrac General GG and the B. F. Avery model A tractors. I am quite sure that most of it is accurate. The General GG was made by the Cleveland Tractor Company (Cletrac) of Cleveland, Ohio. Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
