Mower Deck Drive Belt Replacement

NOTICE

To avoid damaging belt, do not pry over pulleys

1. Park the mower on a flat, level surface, such as a

concrete floor. Disengage the PTO, engage the parking

brake, turn off the ignition, and remove the key.

2. Lift the deck to the TRANSPORT position. Remove the

mower deck guards and floor pan to gain access to the

mower deck drive belt.

 WARNING

Use extreme caution when rotating the idler arm with the

breaker bar, due to the increased tension in the spring

as the idler arm is being rotated. Injury may result if the

breaker bar is prematurely released while the spring is

under tension.

3. Using a 1/2" breaker bar, place the square end in the

square hole located in the idler arm (A, Figures 41 & 42).

Carefully rotate the breaker bar 

clockwise

, which will

relieve the tension on the belt exerted from the idler arm.

4. Slide the drive belt (B) over the edge of the rear

stationary idler pulley (C). Carefully release the tension

on the breaker bar.

5. Remove the old belt and replace with a new one. Make

sure that the V-side of the belt runs in the spindle pulley

(D) grooves.

6. Install the drive belt on the PTO pulley, the spindle

pulleys (D), the front stationary idler pulley(s) (E), and the

adjustable idler pulley (F). Carefully rotate the breaker bar

clockwise and install the belt on the rear stationary idler

pulley (C).
