Might be too little, too late, but I dug this up from a couple years ago:
Re: 2210 hydro cooling fan

I don't know how to link back to an old thread, so I pasted 2 posts from an old thread here (see below). This is how I got my fan repaired. I took these posts, and a diagram of the 2305 driveshaft which I downloaded, to my dealer. He used this approach, and had my fan replaced the next day. You don't have to disassemble anything except the rear universal joint in the driveshaft. Hope this helps.

Hello Everyone,
I am fairly new to the forum and proud owner of a 2305. This is kind of funny, this past week I was clearing brush with the loader and of course a stick got caught in the fan and destroyed four of the blades. I was pretty disappointed with what had happened and of course like some of us here who encountered the same problem was completely going insane on how to replace the fan. I thought about taking off the floor plate, fenders, ROPS etc. Started to do that, and that was way too labor intensive. Spoke to the mechanic at the dealer and he suggested droping the shaft at the front of the machine where it connected with the engine. Again, way too complicated.
I am lucky enough to happen to know a fella who is a diesal mechanic for an excavating contractor. He stopped by and here is how we did it, in less than 30 minutes, without cutting anything.
There is a bushing, or bar that holds the mid mount mower that needs to be removed. The transmission shaft is now easily accessible. The mechanic then took the drive shaft apart at the knuckle joint closest to the fan. It seem pretty involved (I am not a mechanic). He removed c-clamps, punched out two bushings and the shaft dropped down and he was able to access the fan bolts and he replced the fan.
I am going have this fellow make me a skid plate of some sort - he is an outstanding welder, definitely a good guy to know.
I am pretty surprised myself on how easy this fan got destroyed. I am going to definitely send a letter to JD.

Hi Guys
I just replaced mine using the method of taking the universial joint apart. It was not that hard to do if you remove the bracket for the deck height adjustment, Took me about a hour but I was in no big hurry.

I am here. 
You need to get to the front pin of the drive shaft. Take off the clip then drive it out. That should allow you to push the shaft back far enough. That is the hardest part in my oppinion and getting the clip back on is a little tuff too.

fan problems .I just serviced my 2305 50 hours I was having a hard time greasing the joints they were turned could not get grease to it so I pulled the shaft and greased it on the bench realy easy job so changing the fan would be easy also taking the shaft out and back in maybe a half hour.but the 2210 to take the shaft out is a b''''''ch done that to about 6 hours.the 2210 the tractors are not to easy to work on.
