tractor.
Changing the Deck Belt
NOTE: It is possible to change the deck belt with the cutting deck still installed on
the tractor, however it is much easier to remove the deck first, change the deck belt,
then reinstall the cutting deck.
To change the cutting deck belt, proceed as follows:
3. Remove the belt from around the tractor’s PTO pulley. See “Figure 15”.
WARNING
Avoid pinching injuries. Never place your fingers on the idler spring or
between the belt and a pulley while removing the belt.
