[AT] JD 620

I agree Dean.  It wouldn't stop me from buying it but in an
auction setting where you are looking for the high dollar
anything negative can affect that last bid.  If I had been
selling it, I would have replaced that muffler.

Charlie,

Very observant. The holes do look to be where the spot welding may have 
occurred for the internal
baffles.  I suppose it is also possible that condensation settled at this 
seam after running in cold
weather.
The Oval muffler part # AR20450 is available from JD for a nice tidy sum of 
$204.33. Aftermarket Oval
mufflers with the correct baffling are available in the under $90 region on 
eBay.   I don't know if
the Seller decided that was too much money for a stinking replacement 
muffler or not. Or if it just
wasn't important.  I know if I had the money and desire to own that 
particular tractor I would just
figure in the cost of a new muffler before I made an offer.

You've got me there Ralph.  I'm sure Dean VP knows.
It looks to me like that muffler has a baffle in it and it
is starting to rust through where the baffle is welder or
otherwise against the outer shell because the problem
seems to be in a horizontal line in the same place on
both sides.

Very observant Charlie. I missed that completely. Did that series JD
tractors even have the oval muffler originally?
