[QUOTE="LazyKG, post: 101580, member: 12643"] Thanks, Tazza. I wish I had drained it before I removed the rops (and the ignition switch!). I just removed the hoses and let it drain and that seemed to work with minimal mess. _____ I spent the whole day today cleaning what appears to be 40 years of crap form under everything, getting the hoses detached, and trying to figure out how to get that fourth bolt undone - I finally got a wrench wedged onto the bolt under the bracket by reaching in from the engine compartment. I think I've got the pump all detached but I am having trouble getting it out _____ The service manual says, "Fasten chain hoist to hydrostatic pump assembly and lift the pump while sliding the pump forward." Yeah, right! _____ There are two hydro lines (for either the left arm or the aux) that run between the chain case and the pump that the rear bracket needs to clear. The front comes up no problem but the rear just does not want to come up high enough to clear the lines AND there's a elbow for a hydro line on top of the pump that hits he welded framing that the cab back plate bolts to and the two meet no matter how I try to lift the pump. I tried removing the elbow, but it still hits the frame before loosening enough to come out. _____ When I try to just lift the rear of the pump, it only comes up a little then the front starts to rise (and the elbow hits the frame), as though there's something still holding the rear down.
