how to remove fel from 3510

[nworbekim]

i had a FEL added to my 3510 last fall and its the greatest thing i've done, next to buying the 3510...

but for mowing and hogging, its in the way...

i've looked it over and think i can remove all but the frame easily enuff, but i'd like a look at a manual just to make sure i'm on the right track...

i didn't get one with it for some reason...

is there one on line somewhere?

many thanks....

I have a 2810HST and I think the front end loader comes off the same way. First look at the side of your bucket arms and you will see a pin holding a leg in. Pull that leg out and install it into the center of the brace behind the bucket. next set the bucket down on the ground making sure all the weight of the bucket and arms are on the bucket and the leg you installed.

remove the two nuts under the back post and then roll the bucket to lift the rear post off the frame.

disconnect you four hoses and your done. Its that easy.

The first few times you may wonder if it is worth the agravation ,and it may seem harder to get back on.

But after a few times you will get the hang of it and it will be like changing you underwear . it will be very quick to come off and go on.

I take mine off all the time when I mow.

A few things to remember , always take it off on level ground, everything will line up easier.
and if you hoses aren't marked at the disconnects go buy some colored ties and mark them.

Let the hydraulics do the work when reinstalling it and keep you your hands out of the way until it is setting back on the supports.

It's a piece of cake , really !!!

How about just removing the bucket, after all thats where all the weight is out front.

Thats what I do when I mow the back 20, and its a lot easier to remove than the whole loader.
