I'm putting together a video that mentions the tendency to destroy the hydraulic cooling fan, and am looking for some photos to include, since I haven't grenaded mine yet. If you have any you wouldn't mind me using, feel free to post them below, along with how you'd like them credited in the video. You can also email them to me at mindfulhomestead (at) gmail (dot) com.

Thanks!

I saw your video last night night. Good job, with the exception of your ROPS issue. You simply need to loosen the thumb knobs (located on front side of the ROPS) a few turns when lowering or raising the ROPS in order to get the pins out easily. After inserting the pins, tighten the knobs to put tension on the ROPS (it will keep the ROPS from rattling).

DIdn't even know there was a problem. Had to take it all apart to replace the steering hydraulic hose. Saw this funny piece of plastic and then realized that at one time it was a fan. You can just use it, no need for credits :)
