Does anyone know how to remove the fuel tank from a 6675 skid steer Thank you

I also have the same question as you Dave but mine is with an 8875. I really hope the answer isn't to pull the engine but from what I can see there doesn't seem to any other way. Hopefully someone has already gone through this and can help us out

I think the 6675 is the same machine as the 665 new holland and looking in the book I see nothing listed for fuel tank removal. If you remove the back belly pan will it come out underneath? Too cold to go out and look here.

Thank you very much. I did not know if removing the belly pan would get it out. Possibly, my problem is only with the connecting hose and removing the pan would let me get at that. Thanks again Dave

If it helps I was able to get the tank out on my 8875. Had to tilt the cab and end up jacking up the rear of machine but it finally came out. I realize your machine is different but, you would think they might be engineered to work the same way. Good luck
