Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Muffler replacement, muffler replacement, universal muffler

Question
I have a Lawn Gereral (MTD) 17 ohv 42"cut
m# 13a6695h147
s# 1b187h20093.
The muffler completely fell off.  I was able to save the pipe right out of the engine, but it broke at the jnt to the muffler.  Question? Is there a cheap universal muffler that I can put on?


Answer
 Hello Greg:

  To Remove the Pipe from the Engine. Start the Engine and Allow it to Warm Up for 2 to 3 Minutes. Then Use a Pipe Wrench and Turn the Pipe from the Engine While the Engine and Pipe are Hot. You should be Able to Locate a Muffler at a Reasonable Price Locally or You can Price a Muffler at this Addy http://www.outdoordistributors.com/ and Contact them at the Toll Free Numbers Listed at the Top Left of the Page. Hope this Helps. I am here if you Require More Assistance. Let me know what Happens, Please. Thanks.

 Good Luck

 Respectfully
