Re-direct exhaust on T353

[joeyd]

Any one out there beside me not happy with the exhaust being aimed at the FEL arm? I'm not compulsive about keeping the tractor spotless but I really don't like the black exhaust soot all over the arm. Has anyone found a 45 or 90 fitting that can slide/clamp on to the exhaust pipe to redirect it down towards the ground? I tried some flexible exhaust tubing but it would not fit, 1.5 inch was too big and 1.25 was too small. Any ideas?

measure pipe and head on over to a custom exhaust shop. I have a t330 which does the same thing. I thought about going with a stack but not sure, but sure would look good. Might be on the to do list...

Actually I make an extension that fits on the Kubota B3300 and other models . The pipe it fits over is about 1.320 diameter. email me if interested vtx30@hotmail.com The cost is $29.99 plus S&H

I took your advise, they bent me a nice extension with a saddle clamp all for $5.90!! You gotta love the price, now just a little bit of rattle can coloring and it will look OEM.

Grut - As you requested here are some pictures.


#1 - Original exhaust
#2 - Exhaust as bent at muffler shop
#3 - Dry fit after a little customizing by me
#4 - Painted and secured with clamp

All for less than $6.00, man I like it when something turns out and dosen't cost an arm and a leg.

Grut - THANKS for the suggestion! :thumbsup:
