Engine Removal on 1998 B-21

[JohnnyD]

Help....Help....Help....Hey Guys,
Today is the big day. I want to avoid any unessesary steps in the service manuel, as well as streamline the engine removal process. In reading the service, I understand the need in droping the front of the frame, but why remove the entire frame, rear wheels, fenders, etc. It seems that there is alot of things that are in the book that don,t need to be. I will be doing this a with my dealer who has two new mechanics, and was nice enough to invite me in for the dayto help. But none of of have swaped an engine on a B-21.
Thanks, John

Your post begs the question: "What happened to your engine?" Kubota engines are the gold standard, are now found in Bobcats, etc., and are supposed to be impervious to total failure. And since I have a year 2001 B-21, I'd like to know what happened so that I might avoid your calamity.
Thanks. Paul
