nemo,
Yes it would be nice if the tranny could come out through the cabin - but - then I'd have to enlist someone to lift it out (I doubt I could.. Yes, weak, I know..)

One of the issues in this segment revolves around extra length of the transmission w/overdrive and the lack of a step in the design of the Kubota D850 oil pan. It's a full-depth front-to-rear pan and that makes for a conflict with the front crossmember and then shoves the transmission top cover into the firewall...
