WSM has NO info on removing headlight assy. from hood. Parts book shows 3 bolts holding it to hood. Removed those and assy is loose but only moves about an inch or so before SOMETHING stops it. From parts book pictures for headlight and hood looks like it should slide right out.....but it won't!
What am I missing????

AHA!!! The bumper springs for the hood go thru the base of the headlight assembly...but are actually threaded into the hood crossbar for the latch. Latch handle tension spring is hooked to base of headlight assembly. All 3 springs must be removed before headlight assembly will slide out!!!! Problem solved.... now to put it on replacement hood.... on the bench not on the tractor!!!
