Kubota BX- Vertical exhaust stack mod!!

[@CommonSensePlease-1]

I’m trying to find a way to make my tractor quieter and you’re making yours noisier. God bless you, I wish the noise didn’t bother me so much.

[@BiffsEquipment]

Haha that’s funny.. i didn’t nessesarly want it louder but I did want it to sound a bit raspier which I think I accomplished.. that being said tho I plan to redesign the exhaust on my tractor once again and do something a bit differnt with it this time so stay tuned!

[@claytonwhitman2611]

Well as a professional pipe welder and fabricator, and a certified welding inspector, I can honestly say this looks pretty damn good so far (half way through the video now). I like your ideas for the pipe pass thru on the hood. The stock exhaust kicks up so much dust! I have a new BX 2680, and I was just considering what I have to do. I like the idea of stubbing up (@1" or so?) thru the hood into a larger hole, maybe about 2" to 2-1/2" or so, and the larger exhaust vent pipe being bolted to the hood sounds like a decent idea, I have seen similar set-ups. The exhaust velocity should be enough to set up a venturi effect so all the heat and exhaust goes straight up the exterior stack. I would think that maybe adding another rib (riveted in and made of sheet metal to match existing hood rib) and box the exhaust opening in the hood on three sides, and the hood stack can be 2-1/2" or 3" stainless thin wall tubing and a flange of sorts to mate up with the hood, and bolts in. Add flapper, of course. Yup I like this! Of course, you can always go the easy route and stay with the removable pipe, for those who don't have the tig welding skills or a friend who can make the outer piece for you. I see nothing wrong with that way, either. I will look to see how you finished this mod.

[@BiffsEquipment]

Hey Clayton thanks for your comment! Its great to hear from a professional in the field and I'm glad you liked and understood my ideas as many others didn't.. I got lots of comments people saying they didn't like it and I understand its not for everyone.. I more so did this for the fun of it to see if it could be done but also did it because of the dust it would kick up as you mentioned as well as the soot getting all over my loader frame which drove me nuts to try and keep clean. I still need to finish the stack pipe as I haven't had time to get back to it yet. I still need to add the flapper which I purchased but never installed and still have to finish the exhaust coming through the hood.. I should have made the hole in the hood larger, I wish I had made it maybe 3" or so as there wasn't enough clearance to stub a piece through and still be able to open and close the hood so for now its sort of half finished and has been that way ever since.. The stack has been great though.. no more soot on my loader frame, and I also love it because I can not only hear what the engine is doing but can now SEE what its doing too as I often watch the stack for smoke when working the tractor hard.. Unlike what many people think I never get soot in my face and never smell it either.. I never get smoke blown in my face. Check out my other welding videos.. Go to the "playlist" tab on my KZbin page and you'll see I have a "welding and fabricating" playlist of all the items and implements I have Created and welded from scratch. Knowing now what you do for a living I think you'll really enjoy them. Thanks for watching and best of luck with your own stack project!

[@claytonwhitman2611]

@@BiffsEquipment You are welcome! And thank you. I was looking at a lot of your stuff lately, I like your channel, so I subbed. I wasn't going to say directly, but it did appear that your hole through the hood might not be large enough. Or better yet, elongated. As a matter for reference, you can make a slot with a hole saw, especially on thin material, by overlapping the holes. You can either clamp the material to a wood board large enough, and then lay out your slot as two overlapping holes. mark the centers. Here's another trick also: drill all your 1/4" pilot holes FIRST with a cheaper normal 1/4" drill bit. Then come back and use the hole saw. you can even use a piece of 1/4" cold roll as the centering "bit" if you need to, or to save from snapping the pilot bit as they are expensive compared to the normal bits. Then hole saw out the sheet metal. If you can't get a board to clamp to it, lay it out, drill both pilot holes, and then when you use your hole saw, use it at a slight angle to cut only the "end" of the slot and the "sides", and NOT cut the hole completely out. Repeat for the other end. Then you can use tin snips or a grinder with a cut off disc and trim the straight sides of the slot. Clean up with a file or Dremel. This is of course if the holes overlap, you cut only about 3/4 of the hole so the slug stays attached and the other center pilot hole is there to use. If the holes don't overlap where one cuts out the other's pilot hole, then no issues at all. Be careful, go slow. I am glad that your mod is working for you, albeit that it remains to be "finished". You can also take a piece of tin and rivet it to the hood with 2 small rivets, and then you have another place to drill again, and end up with a slot. The rivets will come out with the new hole. Then you still have to figure out the stack and attach to the hood, but it can be made of thin wall tubing, or rolled sheet metal possibly? The real challenge is the base or flange to attach it to the hood... OR, .... don't make it a slot, go a bit bigger with the tubing for the stack (2.5"?, 3" max i would think), and completely through the hood. You can add a flange to it (rivets or tig welded, or even turn your mig welder down and just slowly spot weld it around, evenly like tightening a tire, on both sides so it warps the least amount), and then rivet or bolt it (maybe have a back up ring for strength) to the hood. Thin wall tubing or sheet metal will work because you need to have it light enough that it doesn't buckle the hood. Its only directing the exhaust at that point, and it won't get overly hot like the actual exhaust pipe will. I would still consider forming some kind of reinforcing truss or ridge to go across the hood behind the stack and then box the side to the middle and your bolts or rivets go through the reinforcement ribs on three sides (the front is there already, factory hood rib). When the hood is closed, the exhaust pipe sticks up inside it, to the front of the pipe. As the hood is raised the extra room to the rear on the inside allows the stack to clear the top of the exhaust pipe. You can trim out with a sheet metal nibbler or tin snips, or a Dremel, it will all get covered with the stack base anyways. ;) Hopefully some of this makes sense, and you will find the solution that is acceptable to you. My GF said she wants a stack, but she isn't wild about cutting into HER new shiny tractor hood... lols. Can always add a mod to use the stock exhaust into a stack, and cut the plastic at the bottom and maybe only have to add small angle reinforcement to the slot and hole around the side outlet into the stack. Many ways to make this work!

[@HenauderTitzauf]

That Talley feller reminds me of the ricers buying a $115.00 super big chrome muffler to putt putt around town. The idea is gotten from the WRC racers and the chrome mufflers add “0” horsepower, but add that mad hornet sound to the noise factor by about “110” decibals. And they look so cool, laid back seats, reflective sunglasses, a tatoo, girlfriend is lovely too(she is pitiful having to be with this worm), oh, almost forgot, got $2,500.00 set of wheels and tires on a $500.00 car. GET IT!?!?!

[@BiffsEquipment]

haha you crack me up! We call those big chrome mufflers fart cans here where I live lol.

[@khtractors]

Good Job! I know how hard of a job like that is and Im impressed. I’ve never liked the exhaust on tractors coming out the front like the stock BX and most smaller tractors these days. I believe you can make your next step work just fine, may have to cut the pipes at a slight angle to help them line up as the hood closes. I’m confident you’ll make it work some how!

[@BiffsEquipment]

K&H Tractors thanks man! And your right they would prolly have to be at a slight angle to be able to mate together properly under the hood as the hood closed depending on how I did it. Still thinking of a few ideas in my head of how to truely finish the stack off but I’m glad for now it works and sounds good 👍🏻

[@emiliosoccisr.3065]

Lottsa pain, no gain. I grew up with the exhaust pipe in my central vision. When i saw that Kubota installed the engine backwards so fresh air enters between your legs and engine heat blows the other way. Pure genius ! the fan blows the smoke away with the exhaust.

[@BiffsEquipment]

Hey man that’s actually a great thought! Everyone always asked me “now do you have smoke blowing in your face??” And I always told them no, I don’t even smell it most the time.. the only time I may get a small puff in my direction is if I’m heading straight towards a vert strong wind and even then it pretty much all goes above my head. I never thought how with the radiator/engine facing backwards how it prolly helps with the exhaust blowing the opposite way as the operator. All I know is I did this mod years ago now and it’s still on my tractor and I still love it. I love being able to see what the engine is doing and when I’m lugging or loading it down.. specially when I’m wearing my headphones cuz I can just watch for the smoke and know how hard I’m working it.. IMO the more ways you can be connected to your machine the better you’ll operate it. Thanks for watching!

[@BiffsEquipment]

Also the exhaust has never ONCE blocked my vision.. I have never once felt myself needing to look around the pipe.. I’m sure some can certainly be in the way on some tractors.. specially tractors with wider stacks.. but for my stack it’s never been an issue.. if it was I wouldn’t have left it on there all these years. You can watch all my newer videos and you’ll see it’s never been an issue even when grading or pushing heavy soil like a dozer

[@johnambro7181]

Cool retro vibe, how about a flapper for the top? When idling it will tap a little adding to the old school style. And finish it off with chrome. Nice work there, Cheers.

[@BiffsEquipment]

Thanks John I appreciate it man. I always loved old school tractors with stacks. A lot of pipe thought I’d be getting smoke in my face but that never happens.. it’s really nice tho to he able to watch the stack when I’m working the tractor hard to see how hard my lugging the engine.. also don’t get anymore soot on my loader frame that was so hard to clean off. Iv been wanting to add a flapper for awhile, I even bought the flapper but never added it, think I’ll do a video on adding it this summer. Thanks for watching!

[@KubotaMonsterBX23S]

Nice work. Some Muffler tape might ensure that you don't heat up the hood too much.

[@zo6rwhp]

How the heck did u drill the holes inside there

[@BiffsEquipment]

I drilled those holes when I had the exit pipe cut off the muffler, once it was cut off I was able to drill them before welding on the new pipe with the sharp bend where I connected my stack

[@zo6rwhp]

@@BiffsEquipment oh ok I own a JD 5065e on the muffler I just knocked the 2 end caps inside of it didn’t make much difference …I think I’m going to straight pipe turbo back lol instead

[@BiffsEquipment]

@@zo6rwhp haha there ya go! If you have a turbo there really isn’t much of any need for a muffler anyways as the turbo gives the engine all the back pressure it needs and also acts as a baffle as well. An open turbo Vs. and open header will be much quieter. Anything Iv ever owned with a turbo I never have a muffler on. My old race car never had a muffler just a resonator so I didn’t get pulled over and my Cummins pickup is a straight pipe turbo back with no muffler or resonators. You’ll love the sound and the engine loves it too!

[@ElonMuskX]

Why did you do this? I want to extend mine out further from stock exit location from the bonnet so it doesn't such exhaust back into the air filter.....Any suggestion on a easy way, I have no welder..

[@BiffsEquipment]

Hey mike, I did this mainly just to see if it was possible.. because nobody had ever done it before and I wanted to see it done. Also I did it to remove the heavy soot that was blowing all over my loader frame as it drove me crazy and also wanted my tractor to sound a little louder as well. It now has a good sound to it; it’s louder but not too loud...as for what you want to do, they do sell exhaust turn down pipes for your bx, it will just slide over your existing exit pipe and you can then turn the pipe in such a way that it’s not going where you don’t want it to go, you then just clamp it into place.. you could also easily make your own with a sleeve or pipe that’s only a touch larger than your current exit pipe and then just clamp it into place.. you shouldn’t need a welder for that. I have seen others do it this way and it works just fine.. just search for it on google/KZbin. Hope this helps

[@ElonMuskX]

@@BiffsEquipment Thanks, and it does look pretty cool as well. I want to mod mine because the start up in my shed causes soot to cover my $70.00 Mahindra air filer and ruin it long before it gets dirty. What do you think of a pre filter? I have used one for years now and the stock filter stays perfect except for the soot problem. It is also washable as well and catches all the dirt.......

[@BiffsEquipment]

Mike D pre-filters are great, I run one as well on my Kubota. As for the door problem yah that sucks man, I would def try to re-direct your exhaust away from it, that could also be loosing you power as well if the tractor is not always sucking in clean air when your running the machine

[@JoeJacksonGT3]

Looks good, but don't you get all of those fumes right in your face?

[@jeffmayeux1692]

Mike, I know that this comment is a year after you first posted this video, but your newer videos show the pipe painted and something else attached to it. What is it and its purpose?

[@BiffsEquipment]

Hey Jeff, I ended up painting the exhaust stack black off camera a few months after I made this video as I felt the black pipe looked better. As for the bungee I have on my stack I have to have it there to keep the pipe from vibrating because I never finished it 100%. I needed to come up with a rubber mount/exhaust hanger under the hood and never did so I ended up putting a bungee on it and never got back to it lol. I plan to change my exhaust system up tho again this summer with another upgrade I have planned so stay tuned !

[@BiffsEquipment]

The bungee just basically puts down pressure on the pipe and holds it securely into the muffler so it doesn’t vibrate and make noise. At first it was fine but after a few months of use the pipe got loose in the muffler and started to rattle this is why I added the bungee

[@organicvids]

Have you had issue with radiator hose melting being close to exhaust?

[@BiffsEquipment]

Sorry I’m just seeing your comment. No I have not had any issues what so ever with things melting. Infact I plan to make my next video talking about this mod and all the upgrades I did to my tractor and why.. be sure to check it out! Thanks for watching!

[@oldstudbuck3583]

How about one of them exhaust flappers on top?

[@BiffsEquipment]

I have been wanting to add a flapper for awhile now but never fully finished the exhaust. Now it’s currently broken for the first time since the install and I will be rebuilding it and possibly redesigning it with you guys on video in my new garage here in the near future and I plan to put a flapper on it if I decide to leave the exhaust stack. Stay tuned!

[@BiffsEquipment]

Lol, no not at all.. never smell it.. I may get a small wif if the wind is very strong and just at the right angle.. but that is very rare believe it or not.. if it was constantly blowing in my face or smoking me out then I simply wouldn’t have kept the mod in place

[@stevemoin1776]

What size drill bit did you use when you drilled in the muffler?

[@macdawg6403]

[@BiffsEquipment]

Thanks Mac, I actually had that idea and debated doing it, cuz I thought many others may want to do the same.. I havnt quote finished the stack pipe yet tho iv been meaning to finish it since a year or so ago.. I need to come up with a mount underneath the hood that keeps the stack from rattling, this is why I have a bungee cord on my stack if you watch my newer videos.. which I really don’t mind it but I wouldn’t wanna sell a kit with a bungee to hold the stack from vibration haha. Little more tweaking tho and I just might, thanks for your comment!

Yah I know you can adjust the bolt that has the wire through it that goes into the injection pump.. I thought about turning it up at one point but I’m afraid if I adjust the wrong bolt and I end up messing with the injection timing that I’ll never get the engine to run quite right again.. but if there was a solid write up online explaining how to properly adjust the injection pump on a Kubota bx I would surely have tried it 😂 trust me I have looked!

how did you delete the baffle on the intake?

[@BiffsEquipment]

Are you talking about the baffle in the muffler? I drilled holes through the baffle in the muffler, you don’t want to delete it completely if you can help it because you still want to keep some back pressure, so what I did was I drilled out about six 1/2” holes through the baffle to allow for more air flow through the exhaust and for it to be slightly louder/throaty as well. Hope this helps!

[@DelawareDevil]

I'd just like to know why?? Kubota engineers placed the exhaust where it is for a reason. NOw you've gone back to the 50's and the exhaust is blowing in your face.

[@BiffsEquipment]

I explained in the video before this one and a little bit in this video also why I chose to do it, I chose to do it because it had never been done before and because I like a challenge. I thought it would be fun to try and it sure was. As to Kubotas engineering, the factory exhaust pipe came out from the bottom of the hood Bonnet which would constantly blow soot all over my loader frame, I mean to the point where the loader frame was BLACK in a matter of weeks.. it was very hard to clean off too and got in all the nooks of the loader stand and it’s mechanism .. it would make it a mess. I no longer have soot all over my loader, I only get soot on my hood sometimes if I get moisture in the exhaust stack which isn’t often but when that happens it can easily be wiped off with a dry rag and doesn’t stick to the paint like it would when it would blow on the loader frame. (Thus it happens much less now and is MUCH easier to wipe the soot off when it happens). The stack pipe I added does not blow in my face, it never once has blown into my face, if it did then I would simply add a short elbow off the end of the stack and the problem is solved. Third reason why I added the stack is because I can now keep an eye on my exhaust to physically see what my engine is doing and how hard it’s lugging when I’m working the crap out of my tractor, this is especially nice when I have my 3M headphones on as I no longer need to hear the engine to know how hard I’m lugging the engine. Fourth, i did it cuz its different and makes my tractor unique. Fifth reason is because I felt the exhaust was too quite and wanted it to sound meaner, building my own stack allowed me to drill holes in the baffle to not only make it slightly deeper pitched but to also allow for slightly more exhaust flow as well. I can keep going if you need more reasons just let me know. 👍🏻

[@ninefinger2511]

I personally think it looks horrible. But a heat shield and a bent too would look better. Think kubota m7060.

To each his own I guess. I think it looks great and so does many others. It’s now painted black and looks factory. Yes it would be nice to have a turn away pipe at the end but I havnt got that far yet, havnt revisited this mod in a long time, this video is quite old but I plan to get back to the stack at some point in the near future to change it a bit more.

[@BiffsEquipment]

Hey Jason, are you referring to the suicide knob or “wheel spinner”? If so moving it won’t help, because since these tractors have hydraulic steering the steering is not designed like a vehicle, so what happens is after awhile the steering wheel actually ends up in different places after every use.. and this goes for every tractor iv ever used not just my Kubota bx.. so moving the knob will only help for a day or so and then eventually I’ll find that it’s in a different position again.. trust me tho if I could keep it there I def would cus I totally agree!

As I mentioned in a comment on another video, I have a B2601 coming in a few days and I have already been thinking about rerouting the exhaust but I am not brave enough to do what you have done! I like it though! It looks like you could use two things, a little larger shed door and a new(er) pair of work pants... good thing with those, I guess, you are probably not too likely to wipe greasy hands on your thighs! Personally, I wouldn't have even acknowledged Garry Talley. Who knows, he may have been having a bad day, might just be ornery. Either way, it's your (real) tractor and your video, he didn't have to watch it! Have a great day, and keep up the good work!

@@domenicmaiani3795 Thanks man means a lot.. Yah its not the first time Garry has said negative comments on my videos, iv got him and about 3 others out of well over 1,000 subscribers who only have bad things to say so I'm alright with it.. You cant please everyone.. But that's exactly it.. its like, if you don't like it then why watch it? Go find something you enjoy watching more then and stop pestering me and my channel. I get it not everyone likes the same things and that's what makes KZbin so great, there is literally a channel out there for everyone. PS. The shed doors are much much larger now, if you watch some of my newest videos you'll see I cut the doorway out and built much larger doors for my shed, I have a video somewhere too explaining what I used and how I did it. And yah, I need to start spending more money on pants and less on toys but let me tell ya, that's hard to do! Haha. Thanks again man! Be sure to let me know how you like your new tractor! I'm sure your stoked!!
