Gotta be a trick for Max hst filter removal

doneill127 · Oct 10, 2019

Cold rainy day figured good time to change utf and filters. Everything went really well until it came time to remove the HST filter. There was no room to remove it after unscrewing it. Directly below the filter towards the front is a hard hydraulic line. Below and towards the back are the 3 flex lines to the backhoe connectors which are secured to the backhoe subframe. Ended up yanking the fender which wasn稚 too bad and disconnecting the rear hydraulics from the subframe so I could pull them out of the way. Seems like there has to be an easier way.

I think sometimes they just design things without thinking about the end user sometimes.

I had to change the alternator in my skidsteer. Long story short, no easy way to get it out without cutting off half the fan shroud, which I did.

You done good. Pulling the RR fender is the easiest. Only 7 bolts. I don't pull the rear hydraulics hoses other than a couple of zip ties. Just did this (again) last weekend. Takes me far less time now that I know what I'm doing.
