in place of the original mufflers on the old tractors and especially in the photo ads end up in your azz. It's a total disgrace when some idiot takes the time to fix up an old tractor and then stick a pos chrome pipe on it like he thinks it's some dam hot rod. Makes me puke.

Didums have a bad day????????? Need a Scooby Snack?
 
There use to be a saying in Hot Rod Car groups "If it don't go, chrome it". In tractor circles it should be "If it won't pull, chrome it".
 
I don't mind it nearly as much IF they don't wind up calling it a restored tractor and not refurbished.

I'm of the same opinion for RESTORED tractors that have clear coat paint on them.
 
I pull with a Ford 9000 and I happen to like the look of the original pipe so I have kept it. I also have been aware that since chrome became popular in the late 50s that A lot of people who got new equipment of any sort liked to dress them up a little and put chrome stacks on them. AND THEY WORKED THEM THAT WAY!! many other changes were made to working tractors such as M&W turbo kits, bigger tires, better seats, after market cabs, after market hitches, different front ends, more effective air cleaners, after market oil filters, and the list goes on and on. Have you ever worked a tractor? Did you sign an agreement when you bought a new tractor to never alter or upgrade it in any way? Wake up and smell the coffee!

I agree 100%
 
To each his own. I persomally don't like Chrome pipes, besides I'm cheep. Mufflers are $30-40. chrome pipes $100plus. For that difference I can put a nice shinney new steering wheel on. I am not a purist and we restore vintage not antique tractors. As said here earlier, farmers were installing after market turbos etc. There was an early production Case 930 pic. this week with an after market turbo and straight pipe. A hole had to be cut out in the hood to acomidate it. It appears that a makeshift cover came with the kit along with a birds nest of exposed ducting from the air cleaner. This is a unique asset to this perticular tractor and if it were mine I would do what is necesary to enhance this feature. (chrome pipe applicable) We have a kid around here who drives an old beater Ford Ranger It has 2 6" chrome pipes sticking out of the box. $700 worth of chrome on a $200 peice of S#!T.
 
why do you care what someone else does to their tractor? mind your business. go get in your moms pills and take two blue ones.
 
does that mean you wouldnt like my 8" monster stacks with the bull hauler turnouts on my rig? they only cost 1100.00 each
 
Back in 1971 CASE BLACK KNIGHTS came with stainless steel mufflers and were offered as a parts item. CASE-IH offered chrome pipes on MAXXUM and MAGNUM series tractors.
 
If I lived next door to a guy like you, I"d put chrome pipes on everything just to pizz ya off even more! Only a jerk starts complaining like that out of the blue!
 
Kinda partial to stainless myself.
Here's a muffler I just finished for a Case 9330.

I don't like them either but I don't have a problem if someone puts one on. They probably don't like something I did to one of my tractors.
 
This perticular muffler is for a turbo diesel so it has a 4" diameter inside tube that I perforate on a special rig I built on my CNC plasma system and is similar to the stock muffler. This is straight thru with an aspirator tube like the original. It is ceramic wool lined for sound absorption and heat control. All stainless construction.
