Grand L exhaust

[angussprings]

Kubota does make a vertical exhast kit for the GL tractors, but you will need to cut out a little of the side panel and hood to install it.
I don not like where exhaust is located either, loader arms are black and it is a pain to hook up to front blade on LH front aswell as chaining to trailer. This should be better.

DDT I just bought a L5740 and am looking for a hydraulic top link. Where did you get yours and do you have a picture of it?

I have noticed a little soot on my snow blower but never really worried about it. Costco sell a cleaner called "Oil Eater". Just spray it on and was off the soot, the stuff is great.

I asked same question few days back in another forum. Try Surplus Center <Surpluscenter.com>.

I remember that one of our members rerouted his exhaust on his grand 40. I went back searching but could not find it, I think he attached it to his grill guard and it looked a lot like a truckers stack.

Unfortunatly i think your dealer is misinformed. That vertical stack is one of the first things I requested. 2 dealers said there is no kit. 2 more said there was, then later recanted thier statement after looking to no avail telling me kubota, through sales or parts makes no such thing for the GL. As far as an aftermarket company maybe, but four of them and google searches couldnt find that either. If you do happen to know of one, please do tell, i would love to have it.

Darnit, I was told wrong.....The parts man said no such thing...wish there was. hmm can we make one that dont tear muffler apart?

Phillip what is the PN on yours and what is the length/stroke, I am thinking of replacing mine as it doesn't have the dpcv, thanks.

Part number and other information is in pic. Hopfully with this info CCM can give you details to replicate. In my notes I have oem center to center range as 21" - 34". Hydraulic top link center to center range is 21" - 32". Don't forget the 90 degree fittings or the banjo fittings on the dpcv. Philip.

Hey Philip it looks like I'm not the only one interested in your hyd top link. Maybe you should create a new thread just for that project? A lot of us are interested...

My L4330 loader arms are always black from the exhaust to. I don't open the windows on the drivers side because the exhaust smell comes in. Exhaust pipe exiting above the cab would be nice.

I have black loader arm and exhaust smell in window on that side when the wind is right and tractor is under load. I'd like a vertical exhaust too. They used to offer a kit on the GL10 series I believe, I know some of them used to have it.

I've thought about putting a pipe on it, once the tips rusts out I will.

Closing in on 1000 hrs on my grand L5030, don't notice any soot buildup on the tractor yet. Puff of smoke only on start up, then burns clean.

I believe the 5040 is turbo-charged. The 3130 must just be a little smokey and it is definitely on the underpowered side.

Here is what I built several years ago

Maybe I am missing something. Take it to the exhaust shop, tell them what you want. Go have lunch. Done. This isn't rocket science.

That's what I did. $40 bucks. No more issues. Kubota should have done it this way from the start.

Horisnaround, Would you mind sharing pics? I would like to see how they did it, especially the mounting brackets. Thanks. Philip.

Hi All -

For the last month I have been trying to figure out how to put vertical exhaust on my 3240. I have a friend with a JD 3520. For $140 he bought the kit from JD and then had it chromed. I have been thinking about buying that kit from JD and modifying it to fit the 3240. I think with a little cutting and welding, it can be done. The big problem will be cutting a hole through the top of the hood. And to make things more complicated, I came across a website called Orange Tractor Talk. I started a thread called Chrome Stack and, lo and behold, there was a fellow who went by the name Bleed Orange who has a 3940 and added a turbo and a 3" stack. Looks excellent. If you go to this website, to Fabrication & Customization, he has photos and he can tell you how he did his. For my tractor, the 3" stack is a little too big. I still don't know which way I am going to go.

I have learned a lot from this Tractor by Net site. You people are a book of knowledge.

Thank you.

Dennis

Dennis, If you get it done, please share. Thanks for the info from the other site. Philip.

My dozer has a stack that sticks up. Often if the wind blows it'll push the exhaust fumes at me. I have a feeling that's why Kubota moved it to where they did. There's just no good place.
