No need to apologize. Its not my rule, its a TBN rule. I just enforces em when notified about em. :laughing:Wow - sorry dude.
Look at the shot of the engine compartment. A few things jump out:
1. forward hinge on cover gives you better walk around access for repairs.
2. gas tank in the lid gets it out of the way
3. muffler dumps exhaust out right on top of the hydraulic pump and hydraulic filter. Bet the hydraulic system runs hot in that tractor.
