L2501 - broke the exhaust manifold

[Orange man]

The tractor does not have a vertical stack. Not sure why you are saying the part # does not fit a L2501. it is the first three models listed.

I better look again....!!!

Now when I click on that link I get an error that the page does not exist... I should have taken a screen shot!

I don't doubt that at all. I just posted an image after a search. BUT the exhaust pipe seems to exit the same as other images of L2501 tractors I found on line.

This might help you out. I am not sure either about the notion of a vertical exhaust stack.

The whole reason for my curiosity is I figured with a vertical stack the damage described by the OP would be easily understandable.

BUT all the pictures of L2501s that I have found shows the exhaust in a fairly well protected position, Especially if moving backwards...

 

[GreensvilleJay]

the picture in #1 didn't show the entire muffler.....
I never assume the tractor that needs the part IS the same as in the profile (some actually own more, others could be working on a neighbours, or tractor is a 'variation' of a model....)
#43 shows the muffler...yikes a $666 !

That was the one L2501 tractor listed to use that part. BUT the OP lists his as a L2501DT, which is different than the L2501D. EXCEPT that the screen that appeared when I clicked on the link Jay had posted, called out the tractor (L2501D) with on less letter on the end, and specifically called it a 2WD tractor with folding rops.

So I GUESS the OP really has the L2501D and not the DT he listed as the tractor he owns.

End of story? Probably...hopefully the OP will report back so I can sleep at night again...LOL,,,

I feel comparatively fortunate!
I don't need it yet, but......
Messick's shows only $242.66 for a new muffler for my L48 TLB.
Yippie !!!

Not to beat a dead horse, lol, but Messicks lists 3 L2501's that fit this exhaust manifold.

L2501F. 2wd with foldable ROPS
L2501d 4wd with foldable ROPS
L2501H. 4wd HST with foldable ROPS

I have no clue what the difference is between a L2501D and L2501H. Heck for all I know , these letter designations may not conform 100% to Kubota's letter system.

 

[Orange man]

A L2501d or dt as sales list it is a 4wd or dual traction gear drive.

Guess I got cheated, the bums. In 1962 I was paid 50 cents an hour to drive survey stakes in a cotton field, which soon became a housing development.

Back in the late ‘70s my brother and I worked for a not so old farmer for a day. He asked us how much we wanted. We said $5. Yup we got $5 to split.

Later on we heard about minimum wage. It was $3.35/hr. That’s about $10.45 today. Gas was less than a buck a gallon.

What puzzles me is the L2501DT is missing from that list. And that is what the OP lists as his tractor. Could be a simple typo…OP, where are you?

I think this thread caught my attention because there was a time a couple years ago when I was thinking about replacing my B 2910 with an L 2501.

Time to bury this old horse that died a violent death by a verbal beating.

Not protected enough!

The muffler pipe exits on the bottom.

This is correct, it is listed as a DT.

Not a typo, hope you get some sleep!

 

[muddhogg]

Got the parts in and got it replaced. Went so fast and smooth that it didn't even seem right!

Looks like the manifold was broken in two places also.
