•
Locate the fixed v-idler pulley found on the left
underside of the frame. See Figure 29.
•
Grasp the belt on both sides of the pulley and
gently move it toward the left frame rail allowing it to
unseat itself from the fixed v-idler. See Figure 29.
•
Pivot the double-idler bracket forward slightly
before removing the idler extension spring from the
stud and the double-idler bracket itself. Do NOT
discard the spring.
•
Roll the drive belt out from around both the v-idler
pulley and the flat idler pulley found on the double-
idler bracket.
•
Carefully unplug the tractor’s wire harness from the
connector on the electric PTO clutch (if present).
•
Remove the hex bolt from the center of the electric
PTO clutch (or the engine pulley) and gently lower it
off of the engine crankshaft. Be careful not to lose
any washers or spacers which may be found on top
of the electric PTO clutch or engine pulley.
•
On units equipped with an electric PTO, the engine
pulley is located directly above the electric PTO
clutch. Lower the engine pulley far enough to be
able to remove the upper drive belt from around it.
IMPORTANT:
When remounting the electric PTO
clutch (or engine pulley), torque the center hex bolt to
between 38 foot-pounds and 50 foot-pounds.
•
Remove the drive belt by feeding it from front to
rear, toward the hydrostatic transmission. See
Figure 29.
•
Continue removing the drive belt by gently lifting it
off of the transmission pulley and over the cooling
fan.
