2-2 PTO Assembly Installation | 2-3 Belt Installation |
Remove the (2) existing bolts and nuts from the right side that fastens the mower’s rear frame to the mower’s chassis. Align the (2) lower holes on the PTO assembly P#(A0610) (Figure 2) to the (2) lower holes on the mower’s rear frame. Fasten by using (2) 5/16”- 18 x 1-1/4” Grade 8 HHCS P#(K0118) and (2) 5/16”- 18 flange nuts P#(K1178). Once the PTO assembly is fastened, drill a hole into the mower’s rear frame by using the PTO assembly as a pilot and using a 5/16” drill bit. Fasten by using (1) 5/16”-18 x 1-1/4” Grade 8 HHCs P#(K0118) and (1) 5/16”-18 flange nut P#(K1178). See Figure 3 for finished installation. Tighten all nuts and bolts.

Remove the pulley guard P#(B0075) by removing the (2) 1/4”-20 x ½” HHSTS P#(K0353), see page 9, diagram # 38 and #39 for part location. Loosen the (2) bolts that secure the gear box assembly P#(A0429) to the PTO mount plate (Figure 4). Loosen the adjustment bolt P#(K0348) until the gear box assembly is at the far left adjustment (the gear box is moved towards the mower’s engine pulley). Connect the kevlar cord belt from the engine pulley to the lower gear box pulley (Figure 5).
To tension the drive belt, turn the adjustment bolt clockwise until there is 1” of deflection, with 10-11 lbs. of pressure between the engine pulley and the gear box pulley. Once the correct tension of the belt is achieved, tighten the (2) bolts that secure the gear box assembly.
