Finally got a chance to work a few hours taking the engine out of my 955 loader. After disconnecting everything on top, I got underneath on the creeper, man there's not much room. Ist question: do the oil cooler lines disconnect from the engine cooler by removing the clamps and pulling them out? 2nd question: how does this engine come out over the cross member? There is a little lip on the bell housing, do I unbolt the cross member from the frame and jack the front of the machine up a little or pull the engine/transmission out as an assembly? Phil

Thanks A.J., it's so much easier when you talk to someone who has done it. I will take your advice on the sealing rings and get the angle correct at installation. Phil:)
