WaRning
Be sure to shut the engine off, remove ignition key, disconnect the
spark plug wire(s) to prevent unintended starting before removing the
belt(s).
pTo Belt
All belts on your tractor are subject to wear and should be replaced if
any signs of wear are present.
IMPORTANT: Do not use substitute belts. The belt found on your
tractor is specially designed for optimal performance and service life
for your deck application. Use only OEM original replacement belts.
To replace the PTO belt, proceed as follows:
1.
Remove the deck from beneath the tractor (refer to Cutting Deck
Removal).
2.
Maneuver the PTO belt downward and off the idler pulley on the
spring loaded idler bracket.
NOTE: It may be necessary to loosen the hex cap screw and flange
lock nut securing the pulley to the idler bracket to fit the belt between
the pulley and bracket. Slide the belt between the bottom of the idler
pulley and top of the timing belt idler pulley below. See Figure 22.
