Hi So glad this is available! First would like to know how to get a good service manual? Cleaning it up and found a hose with a split. Comes from the steering clutch filter and goes up front towards the tranny maybe. Cant place a wrench on it from the top and was looking at lowering the belly pan. This way i think i can come from the bottom and access the fitting to remove the hose at that point. I know the pan is heavy and bolts in the rear of it. Looks like i might be able to lower the back of it and let it pivot down on a couple bolt in the front of it? Yes, no i have a three ton jack so... I can remove the hose from the top of filter ok. Alright let me stop there and solve those two problems first.. Again Thanks to all that worked to create this Forum.. Gretch

    Bought my manual off ebay and its paper To drop the pan I used 2 floor jacks, one on each end. There are 4 bolts, 2 on each side, and gain acces reaching thru the tracks. Yes it is heavy, once lowered it can be slid out

    Got a Serial Number.? With that it wouldn't be hard to figure out which is the correct Service Manual for your particular machine. These manuals do come up for sale on eBay but without knowing what the correct one was it would be somewhat of a crapshoot. Also be warned that sellers know what new ones cost and price their used ones accordingly....... Sometimes used ones on online auction sites are even more expensive than new. Figure that one out.

    Thanks I was told the serial number is on the frame.... Still can’t find it? Little help as to where on the frame. Just purchased it last week and I have been looking. Gretch

    Look on right side of the ROPS frame. Another location is on the rear of the loader on the ROPS frame
