• All belts on the tractor are subject to wear and should be replaced if cracking, shredding or rotting occurs. To
change or replace the deck belts on your tractor, proceed as follows:
1. Lower the deck by moving the deck lift lever to the lowest position.
2. Take the belt guards off by removing the self-tapping screws that fasten them to the deck surface. See Figure
18 & Figure 19 (as the case may be) for location of the screws.
3. Grasp the PTO idler bracket and pivot it toward the discharge chute to relieve tension on the PTO belt.
4. Remove the PTO belt from around the engine pulley (or the electric PTO clutch, if so equipped) and from
around the PTO idler pulley.
5. Grasp the deck idler pulley and pivot it toward the left side of the deck to relieve tension on the deck belt.
6. Remove the belt from around all pulleys, including the deck idler pulley.
7. Route the new belts as in Figure 18 & Figure 19. Remount belt guards removed earlier.
