Need new muffler DD Series 60

[Pete Masterson]

Appreciate the info... they were able to locate a muffler that will
be here tomorrow. The flex pipe, etc. aren't bad. The muffler tip
allows rain to fall into the muffler, and it rusted out. The stuff
further down seems to be ok.

They're going to pull out the old muffler this afternoon... so we'll
see how it all is.

Thanks..
