CHANGING THE DECK BELT & PTO BELT

IMPORTANT: The V-belts found 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.

WARNING: Be sure to shut the engine off, remove ignition key, disconnect the spark plug wire(s) and ground against the engine to prevent unintended starting before removing the belt(s). All belts on your tractor are subject to wear and should be replaced if any signs of wear are present.

WARNING: Avoid the possibility of a pinching injury. Do not place your fingers on the idler spring or between the belt and the pulley while removing the belt.

To change or replace the deck belts on your tractor, 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.

•To ease in removing the belt in later steps, loosen, but do not remove, the bolt which secures the pivoting idler pulley to the idler bracket.

•Insert a 3/8”-drive ratchet wrench (set to loosen) into the square hole found in the idler bracket on the left side of the deck’s surface. See Figure 20.
