MacinDude have you checked out the Farm Fleet stores there in
Wisconsin? The one in Fond du Lac Farm Fleet has a very large
selection of exhaust parts many years ago maybe they still do???

I once needed a muffler for a Craftsman lawn tractor back in early 2000's and they wanted $400 for it back then.
So my small engine mechanic made a new metal box, welded the head pipes to it, filled it with steel wool and it worked great and was quiet.

If there is just a hole in it find some asbestis to cover the
hole and put a tin can or some metal over to hold it in place
and hold this in place with some large hose clamps

I love my elderly Yanmar tractors. Replica muffler assemblies are available and are under $100.
But today at 40 years old neither needs its muffler replaced.

Yes, it's very similar to that. That'd probably fit the engine, but it'd melt my hood. LOL
The original Simplicity part has an exhaust pipe that comes from the side of the muffler, not the end, and extends down to just below the front bumper, exhausting forward.
Now, since I'm not exactly going to be entering this thing in any tractor shows I could probably just take a hole saw and punch a hole in the side of the hood where this one exhausts, if I can't find the original part.
Sadly, I do not have the skills to fab my own just yet. I have already gained too many new skills in the course of this project!
Sadly, no. This is a Command series, not Courage. Even if the pipes were in the right place for the engine, it doesn't look like it'd fit under the hood.
Oooh, good call. I don't know that I've ever specifically seen exhaust parts, but I have definitely been pleasantly surprised to find some things at Fleet Farm.
At least, I hope it was Fleet Farm you saw them at and not Farm & Fleet - We have both, they are different, and we can't keep them straight either.
But it looks like there's a Fleet Farm in Fond du Lac, hopefully the same one you visited many years ago. Some of their newer stores (Oconomowoc and West Bend at least) are huge - like, bigger than a Wal-Mart Supercenter - and have an amazing selection. Equipment, guns, parts, tools, grills, etc... Pretty fun place to waste an hour or two. Thanks for the excuse to visit.
