Re-routing exhaust on JD 3005

Looks great guys, I also feel the vertical exhaust is the way to go. That was the first thing I did when we got our little Cub Cadet diesel. Thankfully the exhaust is already side mounted, just had to unbolt the muffler, rotate it 90' and get an pipe extension. The pipe I used is the factory Kubota pipe for a B6200 tractor. Just clamps right on the factory muffler. Only rarely do I get exhaust in the face, usualy because its very windy. Then it only lasts a second or two. Before with the muffler pointed forward, I was running in a cloud of fumes all the time. Cheers Mike

I just plowed snow and I have to say the vertical exhaust seems quieter. I think because there is a short mostly straight path for the exhaust there is very little sound coming from there. The biggest noise now seems to be from the engine itself. I have the exhaust turned to the side the exhaust is on and I think I will keep it like that. I'm happy with it.

Included a couple more pictures that I just took with my phone.

Here's a couple of pics of how the vertical exhaust lifts off so you can open the hood.

I haven't driven it, just started it after I finished the install. I suspect I will point it to the side or maybe front. The vertical exhaust is much larger in diameter than the horizontal and a shorter run so it isn't as much back pressure. It seems to be quieter and has a more throaty sound. The extension cord goes to my block heater which since we are near 6" of snow will be used this morning.

I don't expect to smell much fumes. The exhaust is now the configuration of every tractor I've ever driven until this one and its never been a major problem before.

Your going to want to point off the left side, this will keep it out of your face

That looks nice. With the exception of one, every tractor I have ever owned had vertical exhaust, and this is the first time it has ever made me about sick.

Was it still the anticipated $300 or is it less?

The kit was $240 and then it cost about $40 to get a 3 3/4 inch hole saw. The hole saw would have been less if I would have been willing to wait for an online order.

Sear's has a 3 3/4 hole saw online for around $12 if I remember correctly. You just need the guide bit it slips on to.

Rear exhaust will kill you if unit is running and you have to do a 3 pt change out.

That's the one I didn't want to wait for. The one I got locally was about twice that.
