Engine PTO Drive Belt (3 Groove Power Band)
1. To remove the engine PTO drive belt:
a.
Remove the jackshaft drive belt from its
idler pulley (by pushing down on idler
pulley) and let the belt drop down out of
the way.
NOTE:
Step (a) is not essential to removing
the PTO belt, but it makes more room to work
with the PTO belt.
b. Push the clutch idler pulley down (until the
PTO belt tightener stop block contacts the
frame) and then shift the belt off the idler
pulley (to the inside).
c.
Raise the clutch lever (engage position) to
lift the clutch idler away from the belt.
d. Next remove the belt from the engine
pulley and then the PTO drive pulley.
2. Install the PTO drive belt by reversing the
removal procedure.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure the belt is installed
inside
the four (4) belt guide pins.
3.
Refer to
Blade Clutch (PTO) on page 88
to
check and make the following adjustments:

Clutch engagement for proper belt tension.
