I was cracking up when you were cutting the flared end. Good thing I wasn’t taking a drink of coffee. I have learned to watch your videos with caution. Loved it Ed. Full watch and a thumbs up 👍🏻 Sorry I don’t get home in time to join you guys for your Monday night live stream. I always enjoyed that immensely.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thank you, Gary! 😄

I pipe it back into the cab it keeps me warm in the winter. And I love the smell of diesel in the morning.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

🤣🤣🤣

[@circuitbreaker9001]

It will made a difference. I did this last fall. Used a muffler clamp which I am ok with. After the winter I had no black on my front mount blower. . Thanks for sharing

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Nice! Good to hear. Thanks for watching! -Ed

[@watershedoverlook]

Nice mod Ed, and agree on your choice of clamps! It doesn't just have to work good...it needs to LOOK good too! 😉👍 "Looking good, Billy Ray!"

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thanks, Chris! 😄

[@DIYMyWay]

Hi Ed! That was a great (and necessary) mod! Looks like it’s redirecting the soot mostly away from your loader. BTW, you’ve sold me on your manual/electric hacksaw! Gotta have one! LOL!

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Haha, thanks Martin. That saw is pretty magical. 😄

[@m9ovich785]

Thanks Ed. Once I got into good power tools Many Moons ago, I do not know If I even have a Hack Saw any more LOL. I didn't have to do that to My Kioti .. Mike M.

[@OutdoorsintheLowCountries]

Nice video and explanation. I modified my Kubota exhaust as well to prevent the black soot all over my front 3P hitch. A clamp was also my initial thought to mount it with, but went for a TIG welding instead. Still very happy I changed it, never had any blackening since. Hope yours works as well!

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Nice! I was thinking of tack welding, but wanted to see tre results first. Thanks for watching! -Ed

[@digdrivediy]

That's a great looking solution. You would hate any of my tractors! I need a hack for fixing 2 or 3 oil leaks per tractor next! :) Nice video Ed. I like the "swoop" sound at the transitions.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thanks Neil! When you have oil leaks and keep adding oil, you never have to do an official oil change 😄

[@anthonylawrencesnow]

Thanks for the exhaust idea. I bought the exact tip you suggested. I didn't use the clamp though. I used a self-tapping screw instead. Call me lazy, I already know. Lol!!! Thanks again!!!

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Hoping it helps. Thanks for watching!

[@bobschreier9476]

thanks for the tips. I did this today. I used spray nine to clean the junk off.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Hey Bob. Good to hear! Thanks! -Ed

[@Wheelloader__]

Nice video Ed. I think we should go back to the stack. You know where the muffler goes up and blows all the smoke in your face. Ah the good old days.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Haha, I agree!

[@ItsaboutMakingnotBuying]

I used a radiator rubber hoes. If you hit something with it the rubber hose will bend, where the steel will tear off your exhaust. Later

[@MyClutteredGarage]

I guess it doesn’t get too hot?

[@RCAFpolarexpress]

@@MyClutteredGarage 🤔🥴👌

[@ItsaboutMakingnotBuying]

@@MyClutteredGarage I have a video were I made one out of steel. I did an update video using the rubber hose. Over 500 hours on it with no problems. Later

Morning Ed! Nice mod - looks factory. I loved the thumbnail you used for this video. LOL!! Be well!

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Hey Gord. I hope all is well in your world. Thanks for watching!

[@Redneck_Ed]

Ed, I really enjoyed the video as I do all of your content even though I don't have a Kubota. I had to laugh though at your statement near the end. You were like yeah I don't think I need to cut this pipe but cutting it is easier than reshooting video, lol. Laughing because I reshot an intro 4 times the other day and yea it's a real pain.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Haha, thanks so much. Gotta keep it real! :)

[@craigdreisbach5956]

Great video and problem solving. I have 3 tractors with diesel motors (they happen to be green but I'm not picking a fight) and none of them have a soot problem, even on start up. Long ago my mechanic mentor told me that a smoking diesel often has the timing a little bit off. Just a thought. Kind Regards. Craig

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thanks Craig! It’s a as common issue with these tractors. Maybe black soot just shows up better on orange than green 🤣

[@keithrayeski6417]

So, after a trip to your Amazon store….I think I’ll try the auto parts suggestion on the hose clamp. I just like the look of what you used over the Amazon alternative. I didn’t care much for them and, pricy….more so than what you used. I watched the company video….just didn’t make me say “WOW”! 😁👊🏻

[@michaelpratt4035]

Good idea. Now how do you stop your bush guard release rubber handle from melting?

[@sweatequitylife]

Did the exact mod about a year ago using a muffler clamp and have not had any black soot on loader since.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Good to hear! Thanks!

[@leedun7]

love all the details...thanks Ed!

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thank you, Lee!

[@TommyRosaTommyProductions]

Hey Ed, once again, a video that I couldn’t not stop watching until I got to the end. I was wondering, could one order a diesel fuel that has less sulfur in it, or use a different diesel fuel that would be less likely to blow out the black smoke? But, Ed, I gotta say it again, so proud of You and the way you make complex and simple stories so fun and easy to watch and learn

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thank you so much, ITT! I really appreciate your support!

[@keegantimber8571]

Good job Ed. 👍

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thanks Jim!

[@RossOnTheLand]

Hey Ed! Nice mod. I agree it'll help a bit, but from my experience... :) It almost needs to be redirected below and back more. Nice easy mod my friend.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thanks Ross! There’s probably nothing better than a good ole stack!

[@BiffsEquipment]

@@MyClutteredGarage it’s really a shame they stopped putting stack pipes on lower Hp tractors.. I get why they did it for sure but I still feel it should be an option for the end user to decide whether he wants a stack pipe or not

[@gerryplante2651]

Ed, does your mind ever rest? Do you ever get a full night sleep? Once again another great idea and video. (Because of a serious injury when I was a professional firefighter, pain wakes me in the night. I often spend a couple hours of pain insomnia watching KZbin. I learn a lot of great stuff from a lot of smart people and you are up there, in my opinion, really good at what you are doing.)

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thank you, Gerry. I’m sorry to hear of your injury. Few things are worse than lack of sleep from pain. I appreciate your kind comments.

[@ProjectsWithPaul]

Great idea Ed!

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thanks Paul!

[@jjacres129]

Great video Ed and the black smoke residue is kinda hideous I’m sure it will help out

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thanks Jeff. I do think it will help!

[@twinbrookacres]

Nice mod. I think that will help, but my guess is, you'll want to direct the soot directly to the ground. Time will tell! Thanks for sharing. - Rick

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thanks Rick. I didn’t want to blow down too much, out of concern for kicking up more dirt & dust. We’ll see how this works out. Thanks for watching!

[@donhunt8443]

The trouble with directing it directly to the ground is when the ground is dusty, it blows up to the driver. At least that is my problem with the extension I bought from a company in Quebec Canada

[@keithrayeski6417]

SWEET mod Ed!! You’re absolutely right about the hacksaw. In fact, all tools. I like having an extra anything as a back up, but investing in one that’s absolute quality and then taking care of it, I think serves you far better. My Dad always said…”let the tool do the work”, and you are as right as he always was! At first I thought, just leave the flared end on but, AGAIN, you were right…looks much, much better flared off! Good a good laugh at the saws all sound effects too!?🤣🤣 I also much prefer the hose clamp over the muffler clamp for the reasons you noted. In fact my friend, I’m outta here so I can order some right now, to have around next time I need one! Outstanding video! Now, let me ask…do you think angling it down even a wee bit more, would hurt? It’ll direct it straight to the ground. It’s looking like you might catch that soot problem on the inside of the front wheel and that could over time, degrade the quality of the tire? Thanks for sharing!!! New project!!🤣🤣

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thank you, Keith. This has held up well and hasn’t budged. I’d play with it and set the angle where you feel best. I appreciate all your comments! Cheers!

[@keithrayeski6417]

Okay…back AGAIN… one more time! I’ve got to recant on the hose clamp. I still think the double seal is better, but my comment about price was off. In fact, you can get TWO of the Amazon alternative for the price of one autozone HOWEVER, the autozone one IS a true double wall where the Amazon alternative is not…but for this application would work perfectly well!! 😅 I’m goin for more coffee!! 🤪

[@BackyardMaine]

I may try that on my John Deere 1025r Ed. My snow blowers went from yellow to black over the last two or three years. I'm having a new loader installed on the tractor on Tuesday and it would be nice if that didn't turn black as well. I've been thinking about doing something similar for a few years now.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

I look forward to cleaning off my loader and seeing if this helps!

[@MJADoingStuff]

Nice Mod Ed👍that is funny I got the same hacksaw😂 I think 🤔 I got mine over 20 years ago. Thanks for the video 😁👍🚜💨🍳

[@MyClutteredGarage]

See? Quality tools last! Thanks Mitch!

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

Nice little hack there, Ed! 👍 My L3901 has a little square metal box over the exhaust that says HOT on it right there.....can't recall if it angles down or not but I don't get soot on the FEL and I haven't ripped it off yet in thick brush!

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Good to hear, Brad. Maybe the bigger tractors have more room to route the exhaust? Thanks for watching!

[@eastkyboy5619]

The DPF prevents the black soot on the over 30hp tractors. That’s probably the only benefit of the DPF….no black soot on your loader🤣

[@OO-by2jl]

Looks good Ed, I was at the jd store last summer a guy put a pipe on a 1025r . I don't know how he clapped it but it turned and melted the hood and started a fire the salesman told me. The guy thought jd insurance should cover it.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Yikes! Thanks for sharing!

[@brianhillis3701]

Buy a tractor with a metal hood story. NICELY DONE. That is a lot of heat. Imagine if it had regen cycles. Maybe we should measure the exhaust temperature first (at high rpm).

[@elec-mechsafetyandloadsens6005]

I just bought a new L2601 and it is made like this. so i guess for 2022 they changed it.

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Hey Ed, nice video. I'm curious to see what it will do in the long run also. I read another comment about using high-heat resistant hose and that sounds like a good idea at least for my purposes. I haven't modded mine and may not because I grapple into brush so much that I'm afraid I would do some damage with a rigid extension. Maybe not. LOL Thanks for sharing, buddy.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thanks David. I don’t feel like it sticks out too far, but we’ll see!

I think I have 3 of those cheap hacksaws. I have since upgraded to the trigger versions. After 4 years of the exhaust blowing on the loader of my 2601 I don't think it will ever be orange again. Cool upgrade! I'm curious to see what kind of difference it makes.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

I’m looking forward to seeing how much it helps. I do think it will make some difference.

[@alabamareloader9862]

I have the same problem with my 2601 kubota get tired of washing the soot off you figure Kubota would have thought that out.

I’d say a bucket of soapy water and a rag. Then hose it down.

@@MyClutteredGarage I noticed it smokes more when it bogs if the rpm’s are high. Is that the nature of these? Say it’s running 2000 rpm and i hit a pile and start lifting. It drops to 1000 rpm and smokes like a train
