Is there a better to remove The starter motor other than removing the belly pan to get to it ? I am going to turn into this project tonight and would like any helpful suggestions

Investigate for yourself whether the belly pan needs to come off or not.
I don't believe it does but I am not certain. Starter needs to come straight out about 4 to 5" to clear the flywheel housing after removing the three 5/8" mounting bolts. If at all possible rig up some sort of strap sling as the unit is heavy and very awkward to deal with in the loader.

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
