N/F rear fender and sheet metal removel
 

Ok guys, I just bought a 105 thats very good shape. Its has a cracked piston so I will replace that. Before I tear it apart I want to clean and powerwash the tractor. I have a W/F and know how get the rear fender assembly off. I have looked in the manual and searched the forum with no luck. How in the heck do you get the rear tin off the tractor?? :bash2: Pics would be great!
Thanks,Rich

The rear fenders unbolt from the side near, the inside of the tires, the footrests have 1 bolt each in the front (the heads of the bolts are inside the frame rails) take the bolts out from the rear tire area take the 1 bolt each (footrest) out, then slide the fender/footrest outward and it will slide off of the support bar that goes from one side to the other. Depending on what seat is on it (if the seat hinges forward) there are 4 bolts underneath it that hold the seat support/junk box onto the Rear Frame Cover & Seat Support Assy (same part that the fenders were bolted to). If you have the rubber seat, ther will be no seat support/junk box, it will bolt directly to the Rear Frame Cover & Seat Support Assy and will be a real pain to get off. Then remove the Rear Frame Cover & Seat Support Assy (it has 6 bolts and the front 2 are a pain also).

Besides the rear frame cover (4 bolts, two each side) I think that's about it. The tunnel does not come off (unless you drill out the spot welds).

Here are some exploded views.
