The only way to get the tank out is from the bottom with the machine 20" off the ground, just as the manual states. Once you see the tank out it will make sense. I'm not sure how your engine bay is laid out compared to my machine but if the manual states it comes out from the bottom than it probably only comes out that way. With that said, it really wasn't that bad of a job to get the tank out. A few basic hand tools and a few hours of time was all it took. Also, the reason my tank was leaking was the belly pan so was bowed in from previous owners smashing into objects that it was pushing the tank up into the engine bay. This pressure caused it to rub through the front mounting clip under the seat area. A sharp metal clip will win out over plastic every time. So after you have the tank repaired (or replaced, my was $300ish new from New Holland) be sure to take the time to sledge hammer the pan back to flat again. It makes installing it a whole lot easy as well. P.S. Be real careful putting the machine up on blocks/stands. The center of gravity is very close to the back of the machine. Keep the bucket or some heavy attachment on the front as a counter weight. Good luck, John</p></blockquote><p></p>
