Well I finally got around to resealing the manifold on the d17 and installing the new nelson muffler I purchased from Alex back in February.I had to do a little creative shimming on the rear intake runner stud but it all worked out fairly well.Installed a new stainless pipe nipple as well.I use the walker exhaust sealer on the gaskets which makes for a good seal for many years of service.I used this on my 45 manifold 8 or 9 years ago and it's still leak free to this day.Hard to believe the difference between the old stanley muffler and the nelson,what a beautiful sound.A BIG thanks to Alex09(WI) for getting these mufflers made!!!           ------------- 54 wd-45gas ; 56 wd-45d N/F w/fact p/s ; 63 d-17 sIII N/F gas ; 60 D14 N/F ; 67 d-17 sIV N/F gas ; 63D15 sII W/F; 39rc#667 ; 2021 massey 4710 fwa ; gravely 2 wheel tractors |

Nice Job, now wheres the before and after sound clips???  Nice that you put a stainless pipe on, now that will hopefully outlast the manifold. ------------- He who says there is no evil has already deceived himself The truth is the truth, sugar coated or not. Trawler II says, "Remember that." |

JC, I wish I was a little more tech savvy,before and after sound clips would be great.The stainless was a donation from my buddy.He's got loads of that kind of stuff.Got to like having good buds that donate to the cause!!! ------------- 54 wd-45gas ; 56 wd-45d N/F w/fact p/s ; 63 d-17 sIII N/F gas ; 60 D14 N/F ; 67 d-17 sIV N/F gas ; 63D15 sII W/F; 39rc#667 ; 2021 massey 4710 fwa ; gravely 2 wheel tractors |

| Well now that's good looking tractor. S/N 66260? It was bought new in 1963 by the famous CALUMET horse farm in Lexington,Ky. |

I was hoping they were an off brand I have run across online. GTK tires. 10 ply and look to be a BKT clone. I need four 13.6 x 38. Ebay has them for $400 delivered. Gonna give the local guys a chance first. I see your a Dale fan. I never missed a race when he was driving and I don't think I have watched a whole race since he died. ------------- AC 6080 (8030,7060,200,175,D-17HC, 6040,160,6140 all gone) Farmall 1066 & 656 Hi-Clear (for sale), White 2-62 High Clearance, JD 4255 Hi Clear. |

| I just checked with my old supplier. You should be able to get 13.6x38 tires installed for $400.00. They had several brands, Harvest King 8 ply, used to be Kelly built, were the cheapest. I put a lot of them on for customers back in the day. |

Looks like you've done a nice job making the exhaust system last now Dave. That muffler does look good. Is this the tractor you bought off Ky.Allis awhile ago. Tim ------------- 1950 WD 1959 D14 1955 WD45 1976 7000 B 207 |

Dave, Exhaust looks real good! The 17 looks ready to work too! How do you like the lift in the shop? do you feel its in the way? I have been thinking about one if I ever get a shop built. 12 foot finished ceiling?

Hey Dave! Thanks for the shout-out! That narrow ft D17 looks sharp! Good thinking on the gasket maker on the manifold gaskets! Here at the shop, I use a thin layer of highest temp permatex between all the pieces on the gasket set and they seal up very nice! I just downloaded an app on my phone yesterday that shows the decibel level of sounds, I hope to make a comparison video this weekend of the stanley/nelson muffler. ------------- www.awtractor.com A&W TRACTOR 920-598-1287 KEEPING ALLIS-CHALMERS IN THE FIELDS THROUGH THE 21ST CENTURY |

Alex, Decibel sound levels, that would be great to see ...and hear! just off hand, is the body of the muffler the same length on the series IV as the 170 muffler?

| Body is the same. Outlet pipe is about 8 to 10 inches longer and a little larger in diameter. |
