A "muffin" muffler (or at least the one I'm using) is about five inches
in diameter and about five inches thick.  It's a standard OEM and third
party item that can be purchased everywhere.  The mufflers on HAPCO are
a special design that John Deere used back when they were advertising
their quiet running.  He has had a bunch made on special order.  That's
why they are so expensive.  There are a bunch of pictures on-line of my
restoration of Ol' 191.  They're on the Power King web site
(www.powerkingtractors.com).  If you go into the photo gallery and
search for "Goss", I think you'll turn up the photo album and you can
see what the tractor looked like before, during, and after the
restoration.

What is a muffin muffler?  Got any pics?  Is it the one on the HAPCO
site?  
He is asking $65 ea for them, a little rich for me.  Thanks for the tip 
though.
