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