duke 49 #1 Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) I splurged and bought the Muffler & Heat Shield from Toro! At over 200.00 total the paint is already falling off the muffler and the heat shield is a piece spray painted, slotted tin! What a total rip off! No wonder the older models are so highly coveted! I put so much money buying parts that I am already backwards on this deal! I only paid 225.00 for the whole tractor with deck but the missing parts were way over-priced! Toro is getting to be like "sears", and we all know what happened to them! Greed is really very sad! Edited July 28, 2014 by duke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
duke 49 #2 Posted July 28, 2014 It is what it is? Maybe get some good header paint and re-shoot the pair, some high heat silver over flat black? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheel-N-It 2,967 #3 Posted July 29, 2014 When factoring the price of a used Wheel Horse with a Magnum engine, I always take into consideration the value of a good condition factory installed exhaust system/muffler. In my opinion one of those stupid pepper shaker mufflers automatically devalues a Wheel Horse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
duke 49 #4 Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) I must agree there is nothing like what intended be on the Tractor, on the Tractor! The new parts are not the quality that I'm used to but they fit and "look" nice. I will post a picture. Certainly not stainless like the one on the Onan twinn!
