The original subject was "Re: IH 684 Fuel Tank Removal?".
Just removed my tank and my tractor has rops/canopy. The Rops most definitely has to come off. Its easy to remove, 3 bolts each side, but is heavy so use a lift or chain/rope to a tree etc... All the bolts but 2 in the tank are not bad to get off. There are 2 hidden up in the frame of the fixed rops that is bolted to frame of tractor that are a booger to get off. We used a wrench on one side with a man on the otherside slipping a screwdriver in the small space behind rops frame and fender to pry wrench off nut and enabling me to slip the wrench back on the nut and turn it a tiny bit over and over! Needless to say it took awhile but can be done.
