M4 Radiator Screen, other issues

[troverman]

So the AC condenser slides out very nicely for cleaning but how do you even get the radiator screen out? It’s a flimsy design hung on two hooks…where does it come out? Out the top or side? All kinds of stuff around it.

Kind of disappointing how difficult the oil filter is to get at, same with the dipstick and oil fill.

Also, the parking brake about half the time doesn’t want to release. Thoughts?

Do you have the OPM (operators manual) for the tractor?

Yes, but it simply mentions that the screen is there. Doesn’t state how to remove it. I’ve read the manual cover to cover. It looks like you’d have to slide the loop grommet off the hook on both sides, likely burning your hand in the process, then slide it out the side. But it’s the flimsy floppy kind, so getting it back in would probably be difficult. Just wondering if anyone had experience. M7060 probably very similar if not identical.

My LX2610 has the same design for that screen. On it, there are "shields" on the sides that are moved out of the way that make it easier to remove/install the flexible screen.
