I wouldn't try to move it unless the valves are leaking and the pressure lets off after a day or so. Otherwise, you'll have to pull the fender pan and then you can reach inside the frame and manually depress the buttons.

Thank you for this info.

I pulled the access panel and reached in. The thin metal tap was still there, and doing its job. I thought there would have been more resistance. Glad I could feel in there and know for sure.

I got the tractor washed up and motor pulled today.

Thanks again.
