I show the brakes and steering clutches to be wet starting at sr # 3626.
Brake bands can be dismantled and removed without removing the top case.
Does your tractor have the lower case (at rear) access covers??? some don't.
Nice knuckle busting job😊 😊
My machine has three small access covers on the back where the serial number tag is. There is no access on the bottom. I was thinking that I would have to take the top cover off because the rear access covers are so small.
My machine has a goofy looking roll cage on it that was modified from some kind of John Deer skidder. I would have to pull it off along with the fuel tank, seat, some hydralic pipes, and the batteries. Looked like a good days work. I have a backhoe that I can use to pull the roll cage and full tank with.
I'm tempted to leave the cage off since it is completely rusted and doesn't look right on the machine. It is nice to have the shade, and to keep tree limbs from hitting me in the face. Some times I use it to knock down trees that are to big for my D3B. I really don't think the roll cage would hold up if the machine rolled over, but I usually keep it on flat ground. It take about 3 acres and a lot of back and forth to turn it around.
