M5030 air filter canister/box access?

[sandyfordnavy]

Never posted anything before. Trying to change out all filters in our ‘95 m5030SU and I can’t figure out how to get to the air filter box. The hood opens from the side and well behind the airbox. I can see it through the grill (have a front end loader). I’m sure it is something simple...
Thanks

Hello. Depending on the type of loader you have. If it's a kubota loader you will have cross support that will swing out so you can remove the front grille. Then you can access the air filters from the front of the tractor. Good luck.

Thanks. I will give it another shot when the filters come in

Be careful not to attempt to gain greater access by raising the loader and working beneath it. If a loader is raised to work beneath, for goodness sakes block it with sturdy stands. The quick-removable FELs are designed for the purpose. And some people sell a clamp or spacer to place on a loader’s cylinders to block them in the extended position.... But I don’t personally trust them.

How did you make out? I have to do the same on a grill that has some damage and is not in the original shape which will make it harder to do.
