Default Starter removal WG600 engine, in a 2182 ?

I took the 2 bolts out and it hits a steel plate that won't let it out. The plate had 2 engine mount bumpers, which I removed. The plate seems like a major pain to remove, but don't see any other way.

Any suggestion's would be greatly appreciated.

I have replaced the starter in my 2182, that was many years ago. I never looked into the how to on the net, the net wasn't all that old,
so I never thought to do it way back when. I do remember sitting there what seemed like for days thinking, cussing out loud, and the neighbors probably thinking I have anger management issues, which all mentioned is true.
That being said, I think and thought at the time, that you had to at least undo the engine, and lift it up and out a bit to get that starter out. I said out loud, F THAT! and grabbed a Sawsall and cut the corner of the block/ piece of something off? Can't remember what piece of what but. Now I can change the starter in about 5 min or less. Was it right, no, but it never presented a problem for the past 15 years or so, so...
You know, I never did look it up, prob will now just to see what others have done/do.

Update! Did not cut the plate. Instead, hoisted engine up about 4-5 inches on the starter side, took out 3 of the 4 bolts holding the plate to the engine, loosened the 4th bolt (the one you can't easily get to, lower left I think) and the starter almost fell out.
Pretty bad design, in my opinion, but defiantly solid metal to work with.
FYI

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
