i was just noticing the instructions for removing the oil pan on a 126 model..., it says the following:

remove refrigerant compressor with carrier and tension pulley without disconnecting the pipe assembly.

remove control linkage

remove oil dipstick guide tube

remove oil pump

unscrew oil pan upper part

unscrew both mounting bolts for engine mounts

loosen both engine shock absorbers at the bottom

disconnect fan shroud

lift engine with hoist until the oil pan can be removed..

wow man !!! is this for real ?

do you have to pull the dang engine just to get the oil pan off these things ?
