Exactly how you said it! Thanks! We were able to get it removed and on cribbing last night!! :)

Hey guys, do any of you know the easiest way to drop the oil pan on a 1992 4WD L355SS Kubota? I thought it would be fairly easy but when I got under the tractor I realized the front drive axle and its housing runs lengthways under the oil pan.. I read the shop manual and it explains with...
