Mower Belt Replacement

1. Park the tractor on a smooth, level surface such as a

concrete floor. Disengage the PTO, engage the parking

brake, turn off the engine, and remove the ignition key.

2. Lower the mower deck to its lowest cutting position and

remove the mower deck guards.

3. Using a 1/2” breaker bar, place the square end in the

square hole located in the end of the idler arm (A,

Figures 42). Carefully rotate the breaker bar counter-

clockwise, which will relieve the tension on the belt

exerted from the idler arm.

4. Slide the drive belt over the edge of the stationary idler

pulley (B). Carefully release the tension on the breaker

bar.

5. Remove the old belt and replace with a new one. Make

sure the V-side of the belt runs in the pulley grooves

(Figure 43).

6. Install the drive belt on the PTO pulley, the spindle

pulleys and all idler pulleys except the stationary pulley

(B, Figure 42). Carefully rotate the breaker bar counter-

clockwise and install the belt on the stationary idler

pulley (B). Carefully release the tension on the breaker

bar.

7. Reinstall the mower deck guards.

8. Run the mower under no-load condition for about 5

minutes to break-in the new belt.

WARNING

Use extreme caution when rotating the idler arm with

the breaker bar, due to the increased tension in the

spring as the idler arm is being rotated. Injury may

result if the breaker bar is prematurely released while

the spring is under tension.
