JC - You're taking me wrong if you think im digging on you...You are correct in the 5min it took to take off the tank.. I didnt mean in any way to imply that you are the cause of my evil, if it sounded that way. This forum has been a HUGE help to me..and im sure it will continue to be in the future. As always thanks for the advice, being my first tractor ever, it has been quite the experience so far. As far as the grease/dried up fluid goes Ill try to just get as much of it out as i can before putting the new fluid in the box.
