Tiger JD 5083E Mounting And Operating Instructions page 27

To access the driveshaft of the JD-5101E, a hole will need to be cut in the front of
the tractor frame. Find the tapped marking on the front end of the tractor (shown
below.) Using a 1-1/2" hole saw, cut a hole for the driveshaft. Once the hole is cut
you will be able to look through the hole and see the driveshaft cover.
The driveshaft cover is held on by two bolts. To remove these bolts take off the
panel covering the fan. Then you will have access to the bolts on the driveshaft cover.
