Replacing the PTO Drive Belt

Squealing when the belt is rotating, blades slipping 
when cutting grass, frayed belt edges, burn marks and 
cracks are signs of a worn drive belt. Replace the PTO 
drive belt if any of these conditions are evident.

1.

Stop the engine, set the parking brake, remove 
the key and disconnect the spark plug wire(s) from 
the spark plug(s).

2.

Remove the clutch retaining strap from machine 
frame and unplug clutch terminal from wire 
harness (Figure 111).

Figure 111

3.

Remove PTO drive belt from pulley and front idler 
pulley assembly. Remove the PTO drive belt 
(Figure 112).

Figure 112

4.

Place new drive belt over clutch, around rear idler 
pulley, installed into rear idler arm assembly, 
installed into front idler pulley assembly and onto 
top center pulley (Figure 113).

 Check the amount of twist in belt 

between pulleys. Make sure it is only what is specified 
in Figure 113.
