I've got my CA replacement guard all painted and ready to put on and got to wondering about the oil level in the back end. Will it leak if I pull the two bottom bolts without jacking the rear end up? If so, about how high should I raise it? Thanks

LOL--I don't get in a hurry doing anything to the tractor. As soon as I do, I screw something up. I might ease one of them out and see how bad it leaks and go from there.

Lance, get a couple of old bolts and cut the head to use as studs in the bottom holes. Take one bolt out at a time replacing it with the stud. Once you have the guard in place, replace the studs with the original bolts.

Thanks, Charlie it worked just like you said. Lost very little fluid. Another trick of the trade learned.

That's what we are all here for. I learn sompin almost every day too, even if I thought I knew it before but didn't. I'm starting to sound like Festus Haggen. Oh well most will get my point. LOL

I have heard of using a shop vacuum on the reservoir fill hole while doing such things. I guess it holds the fluid in while making the switchover. I don't think I would want to try it on a gas tank or something similar. Just a tiny static electric spark and you got mucho bigger problems!

If it weren't for the last minute, I wouldn't get anything done!

Until you get it jacked up you could have it drained and just put new oil in it!
