David - The Stage 1 SM hydraulic reservoir his held to the underside of the belly by 4 capscrews. It's driven by a slotted flex coupling from an extension of the transmission countershaft - ie. from the REAR of the reservoir.

Removal the pump/reservoir is not difficult. But it is HEAVY and kinda awkward to handle (it's top heavy)
First remove the dust cover in front of the reservoir, disconnect (unscrew) the 3 hydraulic outlets and remove the control lever. Then put a transmission jack beneath the resevoir to hold it up, remove the 4 cap screws holding the reservoir in place, and carefully let the jack down to lower the reservoir. Be careful - it will want to tip over and fall off the jack as soon as it is free of the tractor belly!
Alternatively the reservoir can be lowered by removing 2 diagonally opposite capscrews and replacing them with 2 lengths of 3/8" threaded rods and nuts. Run the nuts snug to the underside of the reservoir mounting flange, remove the remaining 2 capscrews, then alternately turn the nuts down on the threaded rods to lower the reservoir.
