MOWER BELT REPLACEMENT

To avoid damaging belts, DO NOT
PRY BELTS OVER PULLEYS.
PTO Clutch to Deck Belt
1. Park the machine on a smooth, level surface such
as a concrete floor. Disengage the PTO, engage
the parking brake, turn off the engine, and remove
the ignition key.
2. Remove the mower deck guard.
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 on the end of the idler
arm (A, Figure 27). Carefully rotate the breaker
bar COUNTER-CLOCKWISE, which will relieve
the tension on the belt exerted from the idler arm.
4. Slide the drive belt over the edge of the stationary
idler pulley (B). Carefully release the tension on
the breaker bar until the idler arm comes to a
stop.
6. Unhook the idler tension spring (C) from the
anchor bolt (D). Remove the old belt and replace
with a new one. Make sure the V-side of the belt
runs in the pulley grooves.
7. Install the drive belt on the PTO pulley, the spindle
pulleys, and all idler pulleys except the stationary
pulley. Rehook the idler tension spring from the
anchor bolt. Carefully rotate the breaker bar
COUNTER-CLOCKWISE and install the belt on
the stationary idler pulley. Carefully release the
tension on the breaker bar. The belt should be
routed exactly as shown in Figure 28.
8. Reinstall the mower deck guard.
9. Run the mower under no-load condition for about
5 minutes to break-in the new belt.
