Thanks to everyone for the advice about our muffler replacement. A special thanks for the suggestion to look at the old one - had never thought to look for a name and number! Turns out it was a Donaldson and the part number was very visible.
Found a relatively local Donaldson dealer who ordered the muffler last Tuesday - it arrived Friday and is now successfully installed (actually with very few cuss words).
Thanks also for the advice about having a side grinder handy - the bolts came loose fine, the straps were in decent condition, but the inlet flange did not want to let go of the section of stainless flex pipe. A little encouragement with the grinder and the muffler was on the ground!
The members of this forum are wonderful!
