Belt removal on a 1994 WH 314-8

[Granite Stater 0]

Hello I bought a 1994 314-8 Toro Wheel Horse and I tried to remove the Mule belt from the PTO, unlike my 312-8 which pivots and swings down out of the way the 314-8 does not pivot the same way, so I guess I have to disconnect more parts?

Welcome to the forum, you should just need to remove the control rod and the pin on the outside of the PTO bell unless you have something different?

If your "U" clip is pinned to the PTO hoop, you will need to pull the hairpin clip at the bottom of the hoop and let the hoop drop down till the U clip clears the stub shaft. Then you should be able to swing the hoop to the rear and remove the belt.
