Thanks for the reply.
I was planning on changing the oil pump but maybe I will go ahead and drop the pan too.

If your going that far I would check the inlet oil strainer/filter for sure.Thanks for the reply.

You’re right I’m not the original poster and I sort of hijacked this post. I looked through your post when you were working on your tractor however I did not see any write up on when you split it or maybe I just missed that.Sorry did not realise you wern't the OP. Was giving info on 4500DT I dont know if you meant the 4050, could be totally different
I was able to get the oil pan up down those two back bolts had to get backed out about 3/4 of an inch. I ended up just grinding a little bit on the clutch housing so that those bolt heads would slide back enough.You’re right I’m not the original poster and I sort of hijacked this post.

The 4050 is basically the same as the 4500. I have both, one fwd the other 2wd. I think they just changed the name for years model- wise.
I didn’t have any trouble getting the front end off, the 2wd is way easier than the 4wd.
But the question I have is I’m trying to drop the oil pan without separating the engine from the transmission and the two aft/ back bolts that go horizontally on the oil pan are giving me an issue.
thanks for the help.
I think i had problems with those as well, I will have a look and think and let you know what I did.I was able to get the oil pan up down those two back bolts had to get backed out about 3/4 of an inch.
