Buying Advice Farmpro 2425 Exhaust

[Affordable]

greg_g, Have you ever put a Muffler on a Jinma 254/284 tractor ? How much clearance is there between the hood and OEM muffler? What about between the Hood and the loader arm ? How big is the ag supply muffler ? Do you think a Jinma 254 and a KM454 are close to the same muffler ?If you don't know these answers why would you try to tell somebody it will work, My gosh the OP needs a muffler for his Jinma 254 tractor.Glad he didn't need a motor we would be trying to find a foundry to pour a new block.Some people do not want to cut, weld, fab a part that is ready to buy off the shelf,that they can have in 3-4 days, install the 4- bolts and be using the tractor again.Sometimes you have to use common sense

For the members who are not Affordable, two of the four Chinese tractors I've owned were 200 Series Jinmas. I managed to avoid low hanging limbs with both of them, but not so with the taller KM454. That said, there's no mechanical difference between the two exhaust paths. What worked on my KM454 would positively have worked on both my Jinma 254s. That's common sense, PLUS personal experience.

You da man Greg_g ! The Ford muffler would not fit between the hood or between the hood and the loader arm ,but you never came up with that measurement.

If you could have fit that muffler, the body of that muffler would of had to have been above the hood of the tractor,I'm sure that was not the case on any of the 4- tractors you owned,

Business must be awful slow to create so many what-ifs over a simple muffler repair. I didn't have a loader on either Jinma or on the Kama. And to this point, the OP has made no mention of a loader either. Why not let the man simply decide for himself? Really, it may not need to be any more complicated than a repair or replace decision.

Ha Ha ," what if's" ?? you are the one that wanted to reinvent the wheel here, my business is great ,greg_g you don't give anybody credit for anything they do , they always don't do it right according to you. There are some pretty smart people here ,some guys that can make brackets, fab mufflers, build cars from the ground up .The point is there are the same amount that do not have that mechanical knowledge, tools, welders, shop to do this in.Thats why this board and the other boards was created to help those people,with simple easy to understand instructions.
