FEL Diconnect

[Duke4AZ]

I have a CUB 7194 CUT with a CC 416 FEL on the front. This is my first tractor and still learning how to operate it. It was used so did not come with a lot of instructions on operation. I need to get at the engine and the FEL presents a bit of an obstical. One of the areas I am not knowledgable on is removing the FEL from the tractor. It appears to have all of the quick disconnect features, mechanical and hydraulic, which I can pretty much figure out, but the actual mechanics of getting the FEL supported and the tractor out from under it are where I am lacking knowledge. If any of you experienced tractor guys could give a nubee some points and instruction, it would be greatly appreciated.

I am attaching some photos to help with the process. One photo inparticluar shows the stand weldment . . . without any actual welding on it . . . and while I know it plays into the process, I am not sure exactly how.

Thanks in advance,
Duke

That would actually be "Disconnect." Along with not knowing how to disconnect the FEL, I appear to be having some spelling problems as well. Lets work the FEL issue first.

I can give you a general idea based on how most of the loAders we make come off. I think the item leaning against the wall is your parking leg. I have no clue which direction it should point, but it most likely pins to the are protruding from the cross tube on the front. Set the bucket on the ground at aroud 45 degrees while setting on that "leg". As you roll the bucket back some the pins should get loose from the mounts and you can pull them out. AS you continue to slowly roll the back back, the back end should come up out of the mounts. Slowly back out till you are just clear of everything and disconnect you hoses. I think the pin in the picture of the tractor front holds the parking leg in. Doesn't appear you back teh tractor away with that pin in the current location. REMEMBER I HAVE NEVER SEEN OR TOUCHED ONE OFTHESE..... THIS IS JUST MY BEST GUESS... IF SOMEONE ELSE KNOWS, PLEASE CHIME IN.
