My manual doesn't have those parts. I didn't see any missing pages
but it might have been superceded by a later one. Thanks! It was
actually easier to remove the belts by removing the countershaft,
but it's nice to know how the other end will look when I get to it.

You'll have to remove both the spindle and the back gear
(actually underneath gear) from the headstock to do it.

The next section of the manual (if yours is like mine) is:

How to Remove Headstock Spindle

And after the "Re-Assembling the Headstock Spindle" you will find the:

How to remove back gears
