Pulling fuel tank 2355N

[K Effective]

Anybody have the instructions for removing the fuel tank from a 2355N narrow vineyard tractor? ( Not a real popular unit, I know)

I've removed all fasteners, but can't get the tank to slide out from the front sheet metal. The bolts for the front sheet metal are inaccessible behind the tank. Next step would be to disconnect and remove the front hydraulic pump, which seems like a step too far.
what issues will I force on myself to remove the front pump? Anything to do to it while it is out? I just removed the fan belt and am headed to pick up the new one, but did not plan to mess with the front pump at all, nor do I have experience doing so...

Thanks, in advance for any help!

I think once you have disconnected fuel line,fuel gauge sender wire,radiator stabilizer rod & removed 2 bolts on each side the fuel tank will lift out. At least that is what it states in a 2040 tech manual which should be very similar for tank removal..

Thanks for looking, Jim.

This one is slightly different- I have removed all stated parts, plus the two plates that gird the tank to the front nose cone and the entire air cleaner assembly and surrounding supports. It is loose in there, but I can't even pry it out (being very careful not to bust the old, plastic tank, of course)

I ordered a copy of the Tech Manual off of FleaBay just now, I should have had one years ago, but this has been such a relatively-trouble-free tractor...

I'll guess fitting(key 12) must be removed before fuel tank can be removed.
