Eric, thanks for the link - ordered. Bolts out after plenty of PB Blaster, patience, elbow grease, and breaker bar - thank goodness. Thermostat ordered and shipped, radiator flushed, fan shroud sanded and primed. Expecting delivery on my L3800 possibly by Friday! Will keep my 3000 as a back up...

Not a durn thang! Cause I haven't got it yet! But I picked up a 48" econo mini grapple and took it to my dealer who is getting my new tractor ready for delivery. L3800 AG tires FEL with 66" quick disconnect Bucket BH77 Back Hoe 16" bucket 42" pallet forks WR Long 3rd function Hydraulics and...
