He gives the exact hose diameters and the Gates part number used. Useful mainly for owners with the same soot-on-loader-arm annoyance looking for a cheap, bendable alternative to a rigid metal diverter.
Posted by an owner (Ben) of the When Work Is Play channel sharing a practical fix from his own tractor use, not a dealer or manufacturer.
Install a flexible radiator hose over the exhaust outlet as a diverter, secured with a hose clamp, so soot sprays into the hose instead of onto the loader arm.
The exhaust outside diameter is one and one eighth inch, and the Gates radiator hose used has an inside diameter of one and three sixteenths inch for a snug fit.
A Gates brand hose, part number 22692, installed without cutting, just placed over the exhaust and secured with a hose clamp.
The owner felt the metal diverter on his B2601 could be damaged if bumped, while the heat resistant rubber hose bends out of the way and returns to its original shape.
