Yes my tractor came new with this loop which puts my hoses right in front of exhaust.

Here is my setup. Since taking the photos I've added a coupe of tie wraps to tiddy things up a bit. Hoses have been good thus far, staying above the exhaust. I know what I have is for the blade, and a retro-blade fit at that, and you have a blower. Might be a bit different, but there should be plenty of places to dress the hoses to prevent exhaust damage.<img src="http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/files/john-deere-lawn-garden/402816-exhaust-extension-img_0066a-jpg"/>
