Vertical exhaust conversion.

[kuboman]

Anybody do a vertical exhaust on their B? I did to my B3200. I got tired of soot on everything. I got a short bend 90 and went straight up from the outlet of the muffler. It did involve cutting a hole in the hood but I must say once i got over that I am very pleased. It involves pulling the stack off to open the hood but that is a 2 second job because it is a slip fit. I will post pics in the next day or 2 if anyone is interested.

Yes, post more info or pics. I converted a compact Ford years ago and added a slip joint on the pipe so I could open the hood. My original purpose was to add an air filter pre-cleaner and it worked great.

yes, do post pics please! As somebody with a sooty BX im interested.

4shorts did a vertical upgrade on his L but that is a larger tractor. He ran his up by the cab. Excellent job as is all his work.

I'd also like to see some pics. This project is on my to do list for the 5240.

Pics are on the way. I have been looking at my 5740, same as your 5240 and have not come up with a satisfactory conversion. Let us all know if you do.

Here some pictures. They did not turn out so well but you get the idea.

I made one for my B3030, it follows the cab frame. Works great.

Both look very nice!


I have a plan how to do it on my 5240 but now just need to find the time.

Hey kuboman did you do anything to insulate the radiator hose? From the pics it looks like its touching the exhaust pipe.
