Oil cooler

Not that I can make happen. The frame at the bottom prevents it from going further to the right to swing it out unless I put it high, and then it hits the upper part. I will try amd mess with it again shortly, maybe I can push it all the way to the left and try and swing the other side out first but I'm not too optimistic.

Wonder if they installed them before the radiator core was put it in?

Possibly, just strange the manual acts like it should just tilt right out by pulling the bottom but it's too wide to fit right out. I tried rotating it 90 degrees inside as well but that wasn't happening either. I'll go try going to the left and swinging that way now that I'm done with my coffee.

Left or right side swinging makes no difference, I'm just not going to be able to get it out.

Looks like if that bottom pan was removed it would drop out, someone may have redone that bottom pan at one time.

That part is all welded together, sides, bottom,and top. Seems my options are remove the entire front body portion or cut the grille tabs off. I don't have the tools to accomplish either task right now.

Nevermind that very front bottom pan is not welded, I'll see if I can get those bolts free.

Those bolts aren't going to budge even with a pipe for leverage I got no movement and a busted 1/2" socket wrench. If the entire front end wasn't covered in oil I'd try heat but as is that would just start a nice fire. I'm done dealing with it for now seems to be outside of my capabilities.

Yea dont blame ya, I remember that bottom part should come off but like anything old bolts that have may never been removed usually break. Even if you do get that pan off at least you can get the cooler out, repaired and deal with the pan later when you can get the right tools there or the tractor to the shop, just be careful dozing with it off though.

Came back fresh today, had to use all my strength but got those bottom bolts undone. Of course it won't fit through that either. Hangs up on both side frames, have no idea how they ever got these things in here.
