Exhaust Elbow for International Harvester 300 with C-169 Gas Engine

Description

When you’re hearing that telltale ticking sound coming from your exhaust manifold on your International 300, or catching whiffs of hot exhaust gases near the engine, chances are your exhaust elbow is cracking or failing. This direct replacement elbow connects your manifold to the exhaust pipe, directing those hot gases safely away from your engine compartment where they belong. A good elbow keeps exhaust flowing properly and prevents dangerous gas leaks that can affect engine performance or operator safety.

What You’re Getting

• 4-1/4 inch body diameter designed to handle the exhaust flow from your C-169 gas engine
• Round horizontal configuration that routes exhaust away from the operator area
• Precise 1-5/8 inch inlet and 1-3/4 inch outlet dimensions for proper flow and fitment
• 24-inch overall length with 19-1/2 inch shell length for correct positioning
• Heavy construction built to handle the constant heat cycles and vibration of farm work

Built for Real Farm Work

This elbow fits International 300 tractors with serial numbers 9501-62482 equipped with the C-169 gas engine. These reliable utility tractors were workhorses on farms across America, handling everything from loader work and cultivating to hay operations and general farm chores. The C-169 was known for its dependable power delivery, and this elbow ensures your exhaust system keeps up with that reputation.

Made to Last

Farm equipment exhaust components take serious abuse from temperature extremes, road spray, and constant vibration. This elbow is built with materials that resist the corrosion and fatigue that come with agricultural work. The round design distributes stress evenly, while the proper wall thickness handles the heat without warping or cracking under normal operating conditions.

Installation Notes

This is a direct replacement that uses your existing mounting hardware. Install when the engine is completely cool – exhaust components stay hot long after shutdown. Clean the mating surfaces thoroughly and check your exhaust manifold gaskets while you’re at it. If the old elbow failed due to age, those gaskets might need attention too. Take time to ensure proper alignment before final tightening to prevent stress cracks.
