I was stuck behind an old Farmall diesel the other day, and I noticed it had a very long exhaust stack, just wobbling about, as if someone had slipped a length of stovepipe over the regular exhaust. I wondered if I could do the same thing for my D17? I think the length of the exhaust might be dictated by the cross support for the front loader, and I have a flapper valve on it. But if I could slip a longer length of something, say 4-5" duct pipe over it, does it do any harm having it sitting on top of the manifold? I'd want it to be removable for when I use the loader to full extent, but it would be nice to not have the exhaust in my face when I'm just mowing back brush or whatever. Cheers. ------------- 1957 D17 Diesel w/ M&W Pistons |

What I do on some of my tractors is put a elbow on the exhaust pipe facing forward, I have them bent to about a 40 degree angle, keeps the fumes out of my face.

The flapper valve on my D15 faces forward and I don't get any fumes. On the Hindu Ford the exhaust stack is bent forward at about a 45 degree angle to keep fumes at bay. ------------- Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God. |

Doesn't it just blow back in your face? I do have a flapper that opens to the front, doesn't seem to do much for fumes? ------------- 1957 D17 Diesel w/ M&W Pistons |

Get short! I am and I never notice any fumes on any of my tractors. Maybe a little on the 5020, but it's diesel and is only about 2 feet away from my face! ------------- D14, D17, 5020, 612H, CASE 446 |

here we go...... ..one thing I liked on my 8N was the 'down,under and out the back' exhaust pipe. makes sense to me as nothing up front in your view, fumes behind you and no need for a woodpecker. Which reminds me I gotta replace on Troy PDQ.... oh yeah 4th thing... it don't get 'remodelled' when you drive it into the shorter shed... ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

| Exhaust on my 190 sticks up above the cab it just slips over the muffler nipplethat sticks out the hood. I just slip it off to put in the shed and put it back when I drive outside. It's pretty hot when I pull up to the shed use gloves and drop it on the ground it cools off in a couple minutes. |

 It ain't pretty but I ran the exhaust out the back on my series II D-17.
I had to get rid of the above hood muffler as I am always bush hogging under low hanging branches.
