Replacing the Snowthrower
Belt
Once each year, examine the drive belt for signs of wear
and cracking. If any are found, purchase a belt from an
Authorized Service Dealer and replace it.
Note: The procedure below documents how to replace the
belt when the snowthrower is on the tractor, so you can
replace the belt in the case that it breaks. You can also
easily replace the belt prior to installing the snowthrower
on the tractor.
Removing Belt
1. Move the snowthrower to a level surface.
2. Disengage the PTO, set the parking brake, lower the
attachment lift, stop the engine, and remove the key.
3. Relieve the snowthrower belt tension by pulling the
spring tension lever forward until you have enough
slack to disconnect the link from the keyhole slot
(Fig. 20).
