B7500 Exhaust Relocation

[Devildog]

I noticed on some John Deere models they have a kit to relocate the exhaust. I was just wondering if they had something like that for the Kubotas. My exhaust exits towards the front. How come the compact tractors have gotten away from that /w3tcompact/icons/hmm.gif. I,ll have to look and see if there is any way to modify mine. Any help or suggestions greatly appreitiated.

There are a couple of reason I heard of.
New style for looks..also fel.

What type of exhaust setup are you seeking when all said and done.

What would you prefer? Not clear to me (off the top of my head) what would work better?

I have been trying to find a way to turn it away from the tractor a little bit. Havent been able to find an exhaust tip that size.

When I re-routed the exhaust on my Kioti, I went to the local auto parts store that stocked pre-bent sections of exhaust tubing. They stocked down to 1.5" diameter. I just bought sections and welded them together for a new tail pipe comming off of the muffler. I saved the original tail pipe for some unknown reason. It originally exited vertically and I changed it to exit left in front of the front tire, but protected by the FEL frame.

Miklos, I looked in autozone and a couple others but couldnt find what I wanted. Im going to the local muffler shop when I get some time and see what they got. Thanks, Jim

JIM,
most kubota tractors have what is called an "under muffler kit"
this was the only option i got on my L3000DT, because i did not
like the muffler coming out of the front of the hood. if you are
handy with tools, you may be able to make your own. i see some
of the kubotas have this feature as standard, most of them on the
hydrostatic models.
