Be careful as hell with those belly pans. Don’t ever try to he-man one. Watch out for hinges and pins holding them up on one end...makes it a pain to cleanly drop them

I have seen oil pans rub through because belly pans were never cleaned out

Had a 980G front end loader come from another plant along with it's normal operator and due to management cutting way back on "Winter Work" took a couple years for me to get permission to take time to drop belly pan on it. Now one has to understand this is a machine that was only used to load customers trucks out of stock piles so how the heck the belly pan got all that stone in there I can't understand. But this loader also needed rear steps replaced on a regular basis!

After finally dropping the belly pan and cleaning it out while replacing leaking pan gasket a few weeks latter I was back in there to replace the oil cooler line that had rusted through! At least the belly pan came off a lot easier that time!
