Changing the Deck Belt
WARNING:
Be sure to shut the engine off,
remove ignition key, disconnect the spark
plug wire(s) and ground against the engine to
prevent unintended starting before removing
the belt(s).
WARNING:
Avoid the possibility of a
pinching injury. Do not place your fingers on
the idler spring or between the belt and a
pulley while removing the 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 deck belt on your tractor,
proceed as follows:
•
Lower the deck by moving the deck lift lever into the
bottom notch on the right fender.
•
Remove the belt guards by removing the self-
tapping screws that fasten them to the deck.
•
To ease in removing the belt, loosen, but do not
remove, the bolt which secures the pivoting idler
pulley to the idler bracket. See Figure 24.
Figure 24
•
Insert a 3/8”-drive ratchet wrench (set to
tighten
)
into the square hole found in the idler bracket on
the left side of the deck’s surface. See Figure 24.
•
Grasp the ratchet’s handle and pivot it to relieve
tension on the belt.
•
With belt tension relieved,
carefully remove the
belt from around the left-hand spindle pulley
.
IMPORTANT:
Carefully allow the ratchet to pivot
rearward before removing it from the square hole.
•
Remove the deck belt from around all pulleys,
including the deck idler pulleys and the electric PTO
clutch.
NOTE:
The idler pulleys may have to be loosened,
but not removed, in order to remove the belt from
around them.
•
Route the new belt as shown on the following page.
•
Remount the belt guards removed earlier.
