It covers lowering the side supports, pulling the mounting pins, relieving hydraulic pressure per the manual, disconnecting the hoses, and driving the tractor free. It's narrow in scope but hands-on and specific, useful mainly for 5045 owners needing this exact procedure.
Posted by the Mastersharpener channel, an owner figuring out the removal process on camera rather than an expert demonstrating a known procedure.
Lower the side supports and bucket to the ground, remove the boom-blocking piece, pull the front mounting pins once pressure is off, relieve hydraulic pressure with the engine off, then disconnect the hoses and drive the tractor forward.
Yes, the manual says to turn off the engine and relieve the pressure in the lines before trying to disconnect them.
No, the manual says to leave the swing pin in place since there is no need to swing the unit left and right during removal.
