The manual does not specifically mention how to remove the top of the Craftsman 18.5 HP 917.273823 mower. However, to access the pulleys for belt replacement, follow these steps:

1. Remove the mower from the tractor (refer to the "TO REMOVE MOWER" section in the manual).
2. Work the belt off both mandrel pulleys and idler pulleys.
3. Pull the belt away from the mower.

For further disassembly beyond these steps, consult a qualified service center.
