Belt removal on a 1200

[JRND]

How do I remove the drive belt and the motor out of a 1200 Mustang skid steer?

Here is what is in the manual for a JD170, pretty much the same thing I think.

I'll weigh in here. The instructions are the same, even though the configuration is different. The split flange and bearing removal is necessary. It's good to have a buddy help hold the shaft and variable pulley with a rope as you install the new pulley.
