Hammer and big blunt Chisel, straps are a pain in the arse and I used to use a chain wrench but that's a fiddle.
done them for years like that now no issues. They don't need to be maga tight.

Hmmmm..............looks like something's bent, cos my filter housing is jammed up against the hydraulic tank.
View attachment 799790
lift up the boom, and get spanners on the fittings from the top, slacken it all off tighten the male adaptor in to the tank and then reposition the filter on the female swivels to suit.
If it has been knocked and damaged then I do happen to have 3 complete filter housings in stock bought from another dealers old stock.

Knowing my luck the "blunt"chisel would be just sharp enough to wreck it. Socket type chain wrench do it?

a chain wrench will do it yes, just quicker with blunt chisel. only takes a couple of taps then spin off by hand they shouldn't be really tight, it only needs to pinch the oring.
Thread resurrection #2.
OK, so fitted new hydraulic, and transmission filters.
Warning light still on.
Assume it's now electrical ? wires ? sensors ?
Anyone know the location of the air filter sensor please ?
TIA.

OK, found it, had to remove some more bonnet shroud. Sensor wires disconnected.
Reconnected wires, problem solved.
Both wires couldn't have come off on their own.
Very strange.

I didn't think bale wrap could jump up off the ground,wrap round a propshaft and rip the transmission cooler hose off and drain the gearbox by itself. But it surprised me

You'll be even more surprised then if or when the rear prop uj fails and falls off bending the prop and smashing a hole in fuel tank just to really make your day
