Howdy neighbor and welcome to the forum!!<br />Explicit instructions are available in the factory manual (which I happen to have). Let me know if you want to purchase a manual or maybe I could help you out if all you need is info on the T/T motor replacement. Pretty easy on dry land, might be a hassle in the mud!

I guess you will have the mechanic handle this. Good luck and I'll see you at the double span.
