F series exhaust Manifold?

[vortex]

Anyone ever replace the exhaust Manifold on a F series (2013)?

The book seems to imply it can be done without removing the cab... but it sure doesn't look fun...

I also found the clamp ring between the two halves of the turbo was completely loose and leaking exhaust...So if you have a ringing / jingling noise from under the passenger seat... might be worth pulling it out to take a look.

Is this a common issue that on these that often goes unnoticed, or am I just unlucky?

I did one a while back on a 2012. I think we put it on a lift, removed front wheel and were able to do it.
It’s a very common issue on Ford V-8’s to blow exhaust manifold gaskets or crack them, too. I replaced 3 or 4 of them in the 1995-2015 era.

The OP has a Bobcat Toolcat F series, not a F series Ford as you are implying.

Heh... you would have to have a pretty specially modified toolcat for it to get easier to do the exhaust by taking off the front tire

For a minute there I thought I posted in the wrong forum.

It's quite common for them to crack on the 03 series Kubotas, and that 07 series looks like a similar design. F series 5600 should be a V2607. I just did one on a D series with the V2003 engine. On the D series the cab needs to come off and the engine moved forward to get at the rear stud/nut. I tried to do it without removing the cab and it just wasn't possible.
