For anyone that doesn't do Facebook, I gotta tell ya, the tractor groups are fantastic. I'm an Admin of two groups which collectively have over 6k members. I posted a want ad looking for the chrome heat shield and within 5 minutes I had one purchased via PayPal and hitting tomorrows mail. Social media is awesome.

So, the answer to the question: Will a chrome heat shield from a 520 fit a smaller series muffler? YES

I'm going to take better pics and start a seperate thread in the restoration section later this week because it seems like a common question. If you can live with one attachment screw passing through a horizontal vent louver vs. the vertical mounting louver (which I can) then there's no modifications necessary. It's a little bit longer too off the rear of the muffler, but I'm fine with that too. I like the bling and even being a little larger than the muffler, I'm glad I took the gamble.

That looks great Matt. The black shield on mine is needing attention and now I'm thinking I need to find a chrome one. :handgestures-thumbupright:

Still undecided. My initial plan was to bring the Cub considering I worked on it all winter.
