The exhaust pipe on my White 6175 tractor is rusted out at the bend at the corner of the cab. I am afraid to price a whole new pipe from my AGCO dealer! Any ideas how to fix this without breaking the bank? The pipe is 4.5" in diameter and the bend is not exactly 90 degrees. Thanks.

Our NH8970 suffered the same ailment. Dad took it in to a local muffler shop and they in effect welded short lengths of flat steel around the bend. It's not pretty, but was a whole lot cheaper than a new pipe. I could get pics in the morning. Tractor's outside right now.

My 6175 was crapped out in that area and around aspirator tube location. Replacement was over $900. I took it home and fashioned some patches and welded them on. I would use truck shop if close by. That side of elbow isn't that visible.
