This is a muffler question.
I had to replace the radiator this year (2019) in the backhoe since the original one was leaking like a maniac.
As I continue my search for the upper and lower radiator hoses, I was wondering about the muffler. The top 'collar'? has rusted down until it is flat with the top of the muffler and doesn't reach up to the bottom of the stack.
New mufflers are couple hundred dollars.
I don't run the backhoe too often, but plan to keep it another 8 years or so.
Is rehabbing a muffler something I should consider?
