1948 Allis Chalmers C Exhaust Question

I recently purchased this tractor with a rebuilt engine. The guy I bought it from said the engine had gotten water in it from sitting, down the exhaust manifold and told me never to let the tractor sit outside or at least cover it with a tarp. He stated that even if you put a can over upside of the muffler that water will run down the outside of the down pipe and into the manifold. Where the pipe meets the manifold shouldn't there be some kind of an exhaust gasket? Right now the muffler just drops into the manifold. I've looked through parts catalogs and can easily locate the muffler and the manifold but nothing else.

Nope no gasket there its just a slip in tight fit thing. One way to stop it is to make a flange sort of thing like a extra big washer so it sites just above the manifold and that will stop the water from getting in. BTDT. I have 4 Cs on the place or should I say 2 Cs and 2 parts C

I would also warn you to make sure there is a rubber boot on the gear shift lever. Or water will run down the gear shift lever into the transmission. this could apply to all tractors.

Its been a long time since I sold our "C" but there is no gasket. The muffler split at the bottom and a piece of the muffler tube continued down the side of the manifold where a bolt went through it to hold it in place. I believe that water can run down the body of the muffler and then follow the pipe into the manifold. There is no gasket and the warning you've been given is accurate.
