Bill, my first reply to your response did not show up. Hopefully this will not end up being a double post.

Anyway, if someone knows the tractor they purchased and what type of fluids are in it and when they were changed, then the pre work could be reduced.

I was addressing the tractors that are bought out of town, at auctions, or elswhere, and the tractor's history is not known. I just read somewhere where a tree had to be cut apart before the tractor could be removed.

It's with these tractors that I was trying to prevent future problems.

I may be just a little too carefull due to my childhood. I grew up in a place called Gasoline Alley where they built racecars and engines. One of the first lessons I learned, which was drilled into me, was not to stir up any dust. Everything was kept clean. I also learned that if I had a pair of pliers in one hand, I better by God have a piece of wire in the other hand. Coming near a nut or bolt with a pair of pliers was a big taboo.

Guess I'm just a little too cautious for tractor repair. But some things just stick with you.
