I've just performed the maintenance of replacing the transmission fluid (600 hrs), and since new have never removed/cleaned the Transmission Strainer.

I removed some linkage, and also removed the spring that controls the foot speed control,(this still leaves the linkage blocking the removal) and still need about another of 1/4" of clearance to remove the Strainer.

Any experience or thoughts of how to remove this strainer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time and help!!
