Grant thanks for your tip. Sadly, it might be necessary to give these tips by PM in the future as Brian told me he might not have any mufflers left for me, because some readers of this thread outran me in contacting Brian and ordering the Chore horse parts

Default Mufflers.....

.... if they are the two part cast iron ball type they are available in the USA as repro for the farm equipment...steam show small engine collectors market..... the Chorehorse was just a convenient adaptation of a farm type civvy generator for that period.

I have pictures somewhere of the civvy equivalent.... need to dig them up...

There are other videos of the civvy and some military models..... military is obviously different in appearance but he main part of the engine is the same so gaskets and other engine parts should be available.

Malcolm, Bob,

Thanks for the excellent input. Malcolm I have sent you a PM.
Bob, I didn't realise that they were available as repro, although I did look at a post-war BSA type muffler, which seems almost identical to the Chore horse exhaust.
Brian A. was able to help with the parts I needed for my Chore horse.....I just hope the boat carrying the package isn't hijacked by any pirates

Alex
