So I was brush hogging when I went under a branch and creased the muffler. Of course the restricted exahust caused rough running so I parked it and got a new muffler. So I am cutting today and it sputters a bit when if goes thru some tough spots....hmmm...not normal...but otherwise running fine. Then I run over a rough patch that, actually a mound of dirt that casues the whole unit to konk out...OUCH! been a while since I did that! So I fired it back up and now it sputters and farts 100% of the time....Seems to me I must of hosed something when I was running it a bit with restricted exhaust...yes other than me giving the tractor abuse, what you think is the problem? ------------- If its not an All-Crop, it all crap! |

Inspect the manifold to see if you cracked it, or moved it. Could be a leaky intake gasket, or pulled a stud out... ------------- Source: Babylon Bee. Sponsored by BRAWNDO, its got what you need! |

If you hit it hard enough to bend the muffler, you might look at the manifold and see if it cracked and is sucking air somewhere ? ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

Well guys looked at the manifold. Everything looks good. The manifold was put on when I refurbed the unit about 15 yrs ago so it is solid. So it may be a seal leak....any trick on how to figure that out? Would issue be caused by intake, or outake, both? ------------- If its not an All-Crop, it all crap! |

Carb cleaner sprayed near a vacuum leak (air intake region) will make the engine bog down. I bought a used but not terribly abused '52 WD last December and it had exhaust and I suspected intake leaks too. The muffler was rusted bad, poor fitment to the manifold. Since I was going to have to fight with rusted manifold nuts to put seals to the block, I ordered a new manifold (WD45 version, possible the same as the D17 has?) and the kit came with the new seals, plus I ordered the matching muffler. Engine runs a lot better now, and of course much more quietly. .

| Mine looked good on a 1951 WD. After always having to adjust the carb all the time I discovered the manifold was eroded and tappered from years of use. New manifold and manifold gaskets solved the problem. |

>>Carb cleaner sprayed near a vacuum leak (air intake region) will make the engine bog down. Thanks for the tip. Hope I can tell a difference cause it sputters and backfires at all times.
