Don’t know what the old silencer looks like. Even the catalogue shows the “wrong” side of the tractor. I can only assume it looking like a slice of a cylinder about 3″ diameter and 5″ thick …… but that’s only a guess.

Hello Neil and welcome to the forum

Not sure about Westwood paint have you tried looking on the well known auction website ??

[vhgmcbuddy]

Hello Andy, it will be good to meet up again mate

[vhgmcbuddy]

Yes it was a good day out Steve hopefully to be repeated next year

[vhgmcbuddy]

Im sure any similar silencer will be fine.Maybe one from an old 1970,s Wheelhorse will suit if you can find a good,solid one that can be brazed on the pipe.
Have you a picture of what the original silencer should look like ??.

Hi Stuart. Not sure if you looked at my pictures posted above. The silencer itself looks as if it was part of the exaust collector that goes straight to the engine block. This would be a tad surprising as the whole unit would have to be replaced. Have tried the popular auction site without success. I could get the unit shipped to my works HQ in Michigan and collect during my next visit as long as I find the unit itself (hillsider was going to help source the part once I had confirmed the tractor serial number).
Question: Would any spare silencer do if I manage to get it connected or does it have to be the correct part designed for that purpose?? Thanks again.

OK now i understand your problem.Do you know if the silencer was a Roper made part or an engine part ??.Either way i guess your best bet would be that popular auction site.Try the USA one allthough shipping will be expensive !!.

[vhgmcbuddy]

Problem is I haven’t got the silencer as I am trying to get it replaced.

[vhgmcbuddy]

Looks like the engine may be a Kohler ?.Possibly a K321 if its a 14hp engine ?.I would simply bronze weld / braze the silencer back onto the exhaust pipe if it was mine.

Thanks again Geoff. The Trusty is about 90% complete. Just have to make the throttle linkages, the countershaft brake linkage and some of the missing bits on the drawbar. Oh and put some decals on!!
I recently visited the Woollas residence to collect a miller cover for my Simar 56, which Steve had so generously offered to me. I did wonder at the time why his good lady looked so pleased to see me, that was until I saw the garden and then realised that she was just glad that I was there to take something away!!!

[vhgmcbuddy]

Gentlemen, I now have the requested information (it was on a small plate by the blade guard).
Model: TTZ18AR
Serial Number: 3137W01283
Could you possibly help me source a replacement? Many thanks for your bother help and support.
