Grasshopper Part #101040
Name: Gasket – Exhaust Flange (Kubota)
Type: OEM Gasket for Grasshopper mowers equipped with Kubota engines
Description & Function
-
This is the exhaust-flange gasket used between the exhaust manifold and pipe (or muffler) on Grasshopper machines with Kubota engine configurations.
-
It ensures a tight seal in the exhaust system, preventing exhaust leaks, maintaining exhaust back‐pressure, and reducing noise and emissions.
-
A failed gasket can lead to cracks in the exhaust manifold, louder operation, or hot spot damage to surrounding components.
Key Features
-
OEM specification for Grasshopper machines: proper material, thickness and heat-resistance for the job.
-
Designed to match the flange geometry (bolt spacing, port size) typical to the Kubota-engine exhaust on the Grasshopper machine.
-
The gasket is sold 1 each per pack.
Service / Sales Notes
-
When replacing, inspect the manifold flange and exhaust pipe flange surfaces for warping, corrosion or damage; a new gasket alone may not fix exhaust leak if flange is damaged.
