Re: (ET) Transmission question

This may sound a bit radical, but instead of trying to tilt the 
tractor up or remove the shift housing, I found it easier to just put 
a floor jack under the trak, remove the belt(s) and brake rod, and 
pull the rear end out just to change the oil!!  Gives you a chance to 
pressure wash and paint it too.  Maybe even install some shiny new 
bolts and fix the brakes.
