Reasonable to do with good floor jack, raise up to pan with a little pressure, take out the bolts, lower pan and pull out from under tractor, replace reverse sequence.
I too have to do this to mine in the spring time here for a clean out and inspection.
I saw another member do it to his on this forum with two big ratchet straps around the hood and hard nose and the he just lowered it down. Not sure how well it worked but he got it done.

The oil pan protection housing has a slope to rear of Dozer, I can't visualize straps holding with such a smooth surface. If the protection housing had guides to retain the housing that would help, unfortunately that is not the case. If you find a video please let me know. Thanks for responding.

Nice machine! late style ball joint blade, nice shape! I hook a come-along on the sweeps[limb risers] and run the cable down under the pan and back up to the other side to lower the pan. Can use two if you want. What town you from?
