Description
If you’ve got one of those solid old Ford row crop tractors that still earns its keep around the farm, you know exhaust problems mean trouble. When the front curved outlet pipe starts cracking or rusting through, you’ll hear it getting louder and probably catch a whiff of exhaust where it doesn’t belong. This 49-inch replacement pipe gets your 134 CID gas engine breathing properly again, directing those fumes safely away from the operator station.
What You’re Getting
- Heavy-duty curved outlet design that matches the original factory configuration
- Full 49-inch length reaches from manifold to the proper exit point on row crop models
- 1-1/2 inch inlet diameter for secure manifold connection and proper exhaust flow
- Built to handle the heat and vibration these old Fords dish out day after day
Built for Real Farm Work
This pipe fits the workhorses of the 1950s and early 1960s – the Ford 501 (1959-1962), 700 (1955-1957), 701 (1958-1962), and early 2000 series 4-cylinder models (1963-1964). These were the row crop tractors that did the cultivating, planting, and general farm work when farming was getting more mechanized but tractors were still built simple and strong. Whether you’re still using one for chores, restoration, or keeping a family tractor running, proper exhaust keeps the operator comfortable and the engine running right.
Made to Last
Vintage Ford exhaust systems take a beating from decades of temperature cycling, road salt, and farm chemicals. This replacement is built with the wall thickness to handle the heat without developing thin spots that crack and fail. The curved design maintains proper clearance from other components while directing exhaust gases away from the fuel tank, hydraulics, and operator area where they can cause problems.
Good to Know
Installation usually involves removing the old pipe from the manifold connection and any mounting brackets. If the old pipe has been on there for decades, expect the connection to be stubborn – penetrating oil applied the night before helps. Check the manifold gasket while you’ve got access, and make sure the mounting hardware isn’t corroded beyond reuse. The curved section needs proper clearance, so test-fit before final tightening.
