1. Been mowing and it started getting a little hot. Figured I would blow the dust and weeds out of the radiator, but no way to get to it. Doesn't have a hood latch or hinges anywhere I can find. Do I have to unbolt and remove the entire hood???

And 2...I just connected a new Bush Hog BH5 to it and it mows fine. But I was just browsing thru the owners manual when something caught my attention. It says the tractors minimum rear tire spacing, inside to inside, should be 60 inches. Well dang... my Kubota is only 30". Yep, the 5' cutter is supposed to be the right match for my tractor, but it is wider than the tire track.

Thanks for any ideas or info.

One bolt bottom center of each side panel to get into it.

Disregard the 60", I read the manual and I think that's left over from the 3 deck batwing mowers, no logical reason to have to have that with a single deck.
And yes Ideally the deck should be wider than the tractor path.

Wolfman answered your questions so I'll just add this. Do yourself a favor and get you a radiator genie. My L3000 is the same setup as your 2600. This tool is a life saver when it comes to washing or blowing out the radiator.
