YEA!!!!!!!!!!

Well, the tractor is finally in one piece rather than two!

The tool worked flawlessly as previously reported and the tractor just needed some gentle nudging and wiggling from side to side for everything to fit into place perfectly. I've started it up and it seems to be working properly for now. The fan was bent during removal of the front end loader and now it rubs the coolant hose, so that needs a repair and the tin (the body of the tractor) was banged up pretty good at the same time.

Hopefully I'll get it out, hook up the mower and get some work out of it shortly.
