I have a question about the bolt holes for the swinging drawbar. My tractor has some sort of interesting adapter bracket for the wire pulleys to a front
mount plow of mixed manufacture (seriously, it?s got parts from a few companies). I find the front mount plow mostly useless for anything but snow, and
the tractor is too long with it installed to use on my tight-ish driveway for snow, so it?s been off the tractor collecting dust. I?ve been meaning to take the
adapter hardware (a wire attachment near the bell housing, the aforementioned bracket, and two brackets under the fenders) off for a while and offload
the plow, but one thing holds me back...do those four swinging drawbar attachment bolts penetrate into the rear end housing? As in, if I remove them,
am I going to get a face full of fluid? I just changed the fluid and would really rather not do it again this year. From the diagram in the FO-4, it looks like
they?re probably dry and I should be fine, but has anybody removed these bolts and can confirm?
