REEL BELT AND DRIVE BELT REPLACEMENT
NOTE : Reel belts are serviced in matched sets
of three. When replacement is required, replace
all three belts. It is a good idea to replace all belts
(drive and reel) on the unit at the same time.
1. Remove the transmission drive cover.
2. Tilt the unit forward and support the rear of the
chassis with jack stands.
Use adequate jack stands when supporting
the unit. Failure to do so may result in
personal injury.
3. Remove the lower belt guard and side guards
from under the chassis and remove the reel.
See reel removal and installation. Remove the
jack stands and lower the unit.
4. Loosen the set screw in the locking collar K on
the drive shaft. Insert a punch in the small hole
in the collar and use hammer to tap the collar
clockwise (opposite direction of engine rotation)
until it's loose (approx. 1/4 turn). Remove the
collar.
5. Remove the bolts H securing the mounting plate
L . Remove plate and the pillow block J (leave
the pillow block attached to the mounting plate).
6. Remove all three reel belts.
NOTE : Inspect the drive belt to the transmission
after the reel belts have been removed. Replacing
the drive belt now will save work and down time.
7. Install new belts (matched set of three).
8. Before reinstalling the mounting plate L , loosen
but do not remove the pillow block J .
9. Slide the pillow block bearing onto the shaft and
loosely mount the plate to the chassis. Adjust
the mounting plate
L side-to-side so that there
is no side load on the drive shaft. Tighten the
mounting plate hardware
H .
10. Reinstall the locking collar against the
bearing. Tighten locking collar by rotating
counterclockwise on pillow block shoulder. Using
punch and hammer, lock collar into position.
Tighten set screw.
11 Adjust the pillow block up and down until it is
centered on the shaft. Tighten the pillow block
hardware.
12. Rotate the drive shaft by hand to make sure there
is no side load.
NOTE : Excessive side load on the shaft may cause
engine crankshaft failure.
13. Check the reel belt pulley alignment. The
measurement A should be 5/8" (16mm). If
adjustment is required, loosen the set screw in
the pulley and move the pulley in or out on the
shaft.
NOTE : The pulley is secured to the shaft by set
screw and key. It may need to be tapped with a
hammer for adjustment. Use a plastic, rubber, lead
or leather head hammer to avoid damaging the
pulley.
14. Support the unit on jack stands and reinstall the
reel and belt guard beneath the chassis.
NOTE : Belts should be tight when the reel and drive
are engaged and loose enough to slip when they are
disengaged.
15. Reinstall the transmission belt cover.
NOTE: Belt covers removed for clarity.
