I have a 955H 60A that I need to pull the oil cooler on. I suspect that the trans cooler is clogged causing the water and engine oil temp to run warmer than normal. Im looking for advice on the best way to pull both coolers? Do I need to remove the housing? It looks like thats the only way to get to the cooler considering the frame is in the way. If so, does the cooler come up from the top or do I need to drop the belly pan and bring it out the bottom? Any advice/help, tips and techniques would help out greatly.
Thanks in advance.

Both coolers come straight out the side, no need to remove the housing.
The only instructions are to remove the engine side panel. I'm not aware of an interferance with the loader framework.

I can easily remove the engine oil cooler, but not so sure about the trans oil cooler. I'm not sure of its dimensions, how thick it is. If its only a couple of inches thick, it shouldn't be to big of an issue. I need to pull an oil line off of the bottom of the oil filter housing to fix a leak, so thought I would tackle this at the same time. Thanks for the help.

The cooler are a fairly shallow design. Don't know if they will clear the loader frame or not.

There is no mention (that I can find) of what has to be taken off to remove the housing, other than the side plates, as well as draining the engine cooling system and the oil filter housing.. But, it does say one has to unbolt it from the engine block as well as supporting its weight before unbolting it. It appears that you remove the filter cores after it’s removed from the engine. If in the event you have to raise the bucket and their arms be sure to block them “Safely”.

Based on this picture there should be plenty of room to access the oil coolers with the bucket raised.

Thanks for the advice. I had a decent oil leak with one of the oil lines coming from the bottom of the oil filter. I removed the filter base and both lines and went ahead and pulled the coolers while I was into it. There was no physical way to remove the coolers without pulling the housing/coolers at the same time. Once that was done, I pulled the coolers, soaked them in the parts washer for a day, cleaned everything up, new gaskets and o-rings and put it back together. The loader seems to pull better now and it doesnt overheat like it did. I found a good aftermarket parts supplier, HDengine.com Prices including shipping are much better than the local dealer and parts arrived quick.
