Correct Exhaust
Posted: Wed Jun 06, 2018 11:09 pm
Can someone help me determine the correct exhaust for my 1959 Dexta please?
My old one worked ok but rattled in the manifold so I thought I would buy a new one. Unfortunately when I fitted it yesterday it was pretty deafening! Is this normal for the fatter exhausts with rounded shoulder? I've done some digging about and concluded that the fatter type with a rounded shoulder offered by most aftermarket suppliers are the loud ones. My old one is a rusty version of this one which Old 20 Tractor state is the original style. I think I will try and restore my old one for now and buy one of these next year. I will need ear defenders if I use the new one I bought.

However here's a video I took of a circa 1959 Dexta at a ploughing match last autumn, it sounded as sweet as a nut and lot quieter than mine with my new exhaust but his also appears to have the rounded shoulder version so its all a bit odd.
I think below is a picture I saved from Stefan's restored Dexta (before his website disappeared) and he appears to have fitted the Old 20 version.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
