FEL removal - Any tips?

I find that a crowbar is handy for that jiggle to get the pins to slide in/out of the holes.

Nearly the same. I have an "alignment bar" that has a tapered point that is ideal for lining up many things on a tractor. It rides beside my seat with my rag where I can reach them from the front or rear. It is my most-used tool on the tractor (perhaps the rag is used more often). Best couple bucks ya can spend.

Buy 24" Alignment Bar at Harbor Freight

Make sure all the hoses are marked real good. Lowering the the FEL down onto four 1000 pound furniture dollies [ on sale at Northern Hydraulic sometimes ] lets you move it around to store fairly easily.

Thanks guys
All good ideas. Heading down tonight to pick it up and bring it back so I'll tell you all how it goes getting the FEL off.

Well that was easy, I set up to remove it in the pole building. Hardest part as someone said was getting the pins out, they need a little grease when I put them back in like Coyote Machine suggested. Think the FEL will be getting removed more often since I have some tight spots I mow down in TN.

Thanks again for all the tips
