Changing The Transmission Drive Belt
All belts on your tractor are subject to wear and should
be replaced if any signs of wear are present.
IMPORTANT:
The V-belts found on your tractor are
specially designed to engage and disengage safely. A
substitute (non-OEM) V-belt can be dangerous by not
disengaging completely. For a proper working machine,
use factory approved belts.
To change or replace the drive belt on your tractor,
proceed as follows:
•
Remove the cutting deck as instructed earlier in this
section.
•
After disconnecting the battery cables, remove the
battery and battery tray from beneath the seat.
NOTE:
When removing the battery, disconnect the
NEGATIVE (Black) wire from it’s terminal first, followed
by the POSITIVE (Red) wire. Re-install in reverse
order.Proper removal of the drive belt requires the
removal of several tractor components. Read through
the following procedure prior to attempting it to
determine if you feel you could successfully complete it.
