I've got a pretty nice restored 3600 I bought a few years ago at an auction. Haven't had to work on it much but I ran it out of diesel over the weekend digging post holes. Refueled and it wouldn't start, so I grabbed a crescent wrench and went looking for the bleed screw on the injector pump. I didn't have the manual with me but know the general routine. Bled the pump, still no start. Starting looking at access to the injectors and saw the lines go under the battery tray. Grrr. Took the battery out and looking for the bolts on the tray, I noticed one side was on a hinge pin. Looked at the other side: a nice slotted bracket with a captive bolt! Put the battery back in, loosened the captive bolt and swung the tray (with battery still in it) out of the way! Voila, clear access to the injectors. Cracked all 3, bled them for a while and it fired right up! Swung the tray back, tightened the bolt and I was back in business.
Some might say "Big deal, why are you so excited?" but working on cars/trucks lately, it seems like every little maintenance chore has an obstacle course to get through. Whether it's changing plugs, belts, oil or air filter, routine maintenance has become a PITA. Just wanted to tip my hat to the Ford engineer who said "let's put the battery tray on a swivel"
