I knew that you just had not seen what you were looking at. :cool:
The drawback to a sub-compact is things get tight and some a little harder to access. The "get started" is often harder than the job is. Been there, done that, got the Tee shirt, coffee mug, hat, and certificate!:whistle:

Nice! At least it’s now done. You’re good to go!
I wasn’t sure on the need to remove the loader....I do mine “mid-season” when I convert from winter operations to summer operations, so loader and brush guard are off.

I’ve been putting off a radiator flush myself....😳

I was not keen working under a raised FEL, always leery of a stupid accident. At least if it settles, it tends to be near imperceptible. One dumb thing I failed at was I should of done was flipped the lever to lock the loader joystick. Always do what you can to be a little safer. 'Less dead', is that viable?

All the lever does is lock the joystick. That doesn’t prevent a blown cylinder-o-ring or hose that can suddenly drop the FEL onto you.

I use a transmission-jack to hold the bucket up for short jobs like check the radiator, battery, or blow out the radiator screen. $79 at Horrible Fright: https://www.harborfreight.com/2-ton-capacity-underhoist-safety-stand-61600.html

Yup.
I was thinking something along the lines of that (jack) or simply park under a tree and use a come-a-long as a back up. Added benefit of shade...
