I recently landed some work that will require me to work in a subterrainean garage and inside a building. The GC has promised good ventilation so we will not be using any ambilicals to vent exhaust. They do want me to provide scrubbers for the equipment I intend to use. The intended equipment will be my '06 A300 skid, and my '06 435 ZHS mini exc. (both Bobcats). I checked into availability prior to bid and the units are available from Bobcat. I am wondering what it takes to install exhaust scrubbers on my machines. I am a little bit concerned about having to remove the engine to get to the exhaust manifold. Maybe I can get good enough access through the back of the cab (on the skid anyway). the last time I worked under the cab, on the skid, we were replacing both rear axles and bearings. It was not fun and I don't recall seeing an easy path to the front side of the motor. The exhaust of the mini is staring you in the face when you open the back door so I doubt it will be much of an issue. An estimate of time would be great too.

Thanks for the link. I'll check look into it more.
We have them on a couple machines and they just bolt onto the tip of your existing exhaust pipe. I think they were around $350 each. They dont really help much, if you are working in a confined space i dont think this will do the trick.
most of the scrubbers that i've seen available from bobcat replace the OEM muffler. :drinkup
