The V-belts found on your tractor are
IMPORTANT:
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.

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.
