D2-5U exhaust

Some of them are more of a spark arrestor/rain diverter unit, but they do muffle the exhaust somewhat.

Worked for years - Chevy truck muffler.

why do you keep a Christmas tree in the seat??? 😖py:

I'm looking at installing a generic tractor muffler from our local farm store. I've been pushing snow with this D2 all winter and the exhaust is getting a little annoying.
I have a tank heater installed on it and have started it at -20F without any issues

Go for it - you can always take it off at some point if you want, whereas restoring your hearing is another matter

D2 5U parts book list a spark arrester 3B7914 and a rain trap 6F6518 for the main motor, and separate mufflers for the pilot motor too, my local Cat Dealer doesn't show the mufflers being available but for the early D4 the 3B6217 muffler becomes 247-2671 and is a very reasonable $43 here in Oz, cheaper than the $2,000 set of hearing aids you will need after driving the D2 without a muffler or ear muffs for a few hours....

What Mike and Neil say!
I keep a set of ear muffs around the tractors and a pair in my truck for easy access as hearing loss is cumulative over time!
