I think mine is removable but I'm hoping I only have to unbolt it from the rear axle.If the FEL is the non-removable type, it's easier to leave it attached to the tractor.
Thank you so much for these tips! I ordered parts from Messicks and will be attempting this on Monday.To split it the machine, raise the bucket and block it up off the side rails. Unbolt the loader's chin bar from its side rails, take off the hood, disconnect the steering link, hydraulic supply pipes, unplug/disconnect wires etc., support both halves on rolling jacks, take out the bell housing bolts, and then roll the engine and front axle away from the rest of it. Works best on a flat floor, and if you visualize it for a while first. Good luck. Dick B
