Grand L exhaust

[kuboman]

Any of you GL owners annoyed at the exhaust on these tractors. They spit the exhaust at the front of the tire and then it gets all over the loader and front of the tractor and if the wind is right all over the driver
Has anyone done any mods on there exhausts?

I would like to see a vetical exhaust option or aftermarket kit. Philip.

I have a cab, so it is not a big issue with me, but I would prefer a stack like our M8540.

Sounds like you have alot of exhaust coming out! I've never had an issue with it. Is yours smoking black?

Kuboman, I have a cabbed tractor but was annoyed how the loader arms were getting black. I went to a plumbing supply house and bought this $10.00 copper plumbing angle piece. I heated it up with a propane torch to get it to expand and then slipped it over the exhaust pipe. I had to trim the exhaust pipe first so I could get my angle correct. Not the prettiest, I never did get around to paint it but it works great. No need to solder it either as once it cooled and shrunk it's not going anywhere. You can see the cut off piece of original pipe sitting on the front tire.

Can't see your location in your personal description, but if you do cold weather starts you do get smoke. Philip.

Yes there is a lot of smoke when it is worked.:confused2: Seems to cover everything with soot if the wind is wrong.

Yours is a B by the looks of the exhaust pipe. The GL's dump the exhaust by the front tire and seems to go everywhere. Just was wondering if anyone has done any modifications to the GL exhaust.
Your mod looks like a good idea for the B series.:thumbsup:

I have a GL 3430 but have never had a problem with the exhaust. Something must be wrong with your engine if it is sending out enough black exhaust to get stuff dirty.
