SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
CHANGING THE DECK BELT
NOTE: It is possible to change the deck belt with the cutting deck
still installed on the riding mower; however it is much easier to
remove the deck first, change the deck belt, then re-install the
cutting deck.
To change the cutting deck belt, proceed as follows:
1. It is easiest to change the deck belt by first removing the
cutting deck as instructed earlier in this section. Skip this step
if deciding to change the deck belt with the mowing deck still
installed on the riding mower. Otherwise, remove the cutting
deck now.
2. If changing the deck belt with the cutting deck still
installed on the riding mower, lower the deck to the lowest
mowing position.
3. Remove the deck belt from around the riding mower’s PTO
drive pulley as shown in Figure 31 on page 25. Simply roll
one side of the belt off of the pulley and then work it off the
pulley by continuing around the pulley until the belt is off of
the pulley.
4. Pull the belt towards the front of the riding mower, pulling it
through and out of the belt keeper rod.
5. Remove the deck belt cover (a) by removing the three hex
bolts (b) that secure it. See Figure 34 for 30” decks and Figure
35 for 24” decks.

bolt (a) that secures it. See Figure 36.

7. Loosen the idler pulley (24” decks only) (a) by loosening the
flange lock nut (b) that secures it, enough to allow clearance
for the belt to move past it and off. Remove the belt by
working it off of the deck drive pulley (c) and idler pulley (a).
See Figure 37.

in the reverse order.
9. Feed the deck belt through the belt keeper rod and work it
around and onto the PTO drive pulley as shown in Figure 31
on page 25.
