Anyone have a shop manual for a 50 HP Kubota? Need help.

I have an M6800 Kubota and am trying to get the hood off. It's a tilt up style and I can't figure out how to get the hood off. A shop manual would surely help and if anyone has one maybe they could look up how to do it. It's easy, I think but there is some trick to it that I don't know. Thanks in advance.

Are you trying to take it OFF or open it?
Go to Messicks and you can see the parts manual online.

/edit - I just scanned through the entire WSM and it only mentions removing the "bonnet" in two places. And basically just says remove bonnet.

Reminds me of a 1937 Chevy shop manual I used to have. To rebuild transmission, it starts with "Place transmission on a sturdy work surface". Nothing about how to remove.

Got a manual and thank you Midniteoyl. I'm good to go now and will try to figure this out. I'll report back.

Remove the hairpins at the hinge. Remove the arm that holds the hood up, then raise the hood high and then move it to the right side of the tractor. It well come loose from the hinge pins. It's kind of heavy and hard to handle. Get someone to help!!!! I forgot the wire for the lights.

That is excellent. Thank you.
