I finally got around to checking out the D17 I bought last spring. It had about 2 gallons of water in it along with the oil when I drained it. Removed the pan bolts but can't get it off because the PS cylinder is on one side and the steering shaft on the other. Can I get the pan off just by removing the steering shaft? Is there a bolt a bolt above the PS cylinder? All advice is always enjoyed.

John, there is one bolt by the steering cylinder near the front of the engine. It is an allen type head that is removed from the top (not like the others from the bottom).

The pan is best removed by moving out the front axle first. It is pretty quick and easy, and gives you total access to the pan from any angle.

It's a tricycle front. Thanks for the advice.

Ditto on pulling the front steering housing off. LOTS easier to get at it with nothing in your way. I cribbed up my D17 under the clutch housing and pulled the housing off with a cherry picker. Mine's a NF too.
