FYI: Scout 800 front body mount removal, Scout #4 comes home

["Gary Billings" <scoutman@domain.elided>]

OK, I was kind of disappointed by the lack of response to my post of how to remove the front body mount for a Scout 800.  

Anyway, the top of the bolt is either welded in, or is large and square.  The best way to get the nut off the bottom is to wire brush the threads real good, soak the nut in penetrating oil overnight, and heat it up with a propane torch.  Mine cam off pretty easily.  Also, i learned that there really isn't too much room to move the body up, because of the fan hitting th shroud.


Later,
Gary
