[AT] dropping a WD oil pan

[Gilbert Schwartz]

Dick;   Put the tractor where you can leave it while you're doing the engine 
work, remove the front engine support bracket and the pan will come off. Do 
the necessaries to the pan and reinstall it, then reinstall the front engine 
support. Careful when you move that support bracket, some had shims and some 
didn't. Shim it if you need to when you reinstall it, don't just pull the 
front of  the engine down to the bracket.
