Oh by the way, the idea of several long socket extensions works like a dream on the bottom starter bolt. I had the starter off in about 5 minutes of work. Obviously with the deck and subframe removed from the tractor. I used two 6 inch, 3/8 extensions and 3 inch extension and deepwell socket. Ran them up thru the bottom of the tractor just in front of the lowered lift arm. There was enough of a slot in the lower debris screen to slide the extension up and forward to remove the bottom retaining nut.
Not great pictures but gives an idea of what is involved.
