The video is notably candid about a complication specific to this tractor: the fuel tank must be lowered on one side to drill the mounting holes, while the other side goes on in about 20 minutes. Also reveals that Galaxy Garden Pro tires require roughly 2.5-inch wheel spacers to clear the backhoe mounts. Useful for 2038R owners considering this exact mod.

On one side, drilling the mounting holes for the extensions requires lowering the fuel tank out of the way, making that side much more time consuming than the other.
No, the Galaxy Garden Pro tires rubbed the backhoe mounts, so the dealer installed wheel spacers measuring roughly two and a half inches to clear them.
The tough side with the fuel tank took longer, but the easier side with no fuel tank issue was done in about 20 minutes total.
