Started up my lawn tractor today and it wouldn't move. A look underneath and I found that the belt had slipped off of the idler pulley. Replaced the pulley and the belt. Belt is 1/2" X 82. I got the belt and the pulley from ebay. (Flat Idler Pulley 179114, 532179114)

Purchased this to replace a guide pulley ru-vid.comUgkxO9seYZjlnuP5UvMkb7osQW3WxPVeSnPk on our John Deere x304 snowblower. As I stated in the title, it is just about perfect. The stock pulley has a spacer at the bottom. I used four washers to emulate said spacer, and it works perfectly now. Great product, and great price especially if compared to typical JD prices.

Thank you! I didn’t know that nut was hiding up there. I cranked on that bolt forever before I got desperate and found your video.

What orientation does the belt guide go back on? I can't seem to place it without having it run on the belt.

I have the dlt 3000 with the els725 b&s vtwin, but gear drive. I cant find a OEM part number for the fuel filter and trying to decide if I need a screen or paper filter for it. Also trying to figure out why it jerks forward when releasing the clutch in gear, or a suitable bagger option for it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

@kylestivers4606 3 года назад

That's pretty much the same as an lt1000. I'm so pissed that it has plastic pulleys. The bearing locked up and the belt ate through the plastic. I'm replacing both of the ideler pulleys with steel ones.

@crea8ivjr 3 года назад

Serious question from the looks of it the belt was never inside the belt keepers at the beginning of the video could that have just been the problem from the get-go asking because I have the same problem going on with my tractor now

@RealManSkills 3 года назад

The belt was correctly routed before and after. If you look at the gap between the pulley and the belt keeper in the beginning and then the end, you will see the difference. The pulley and belt were just worn out. Thanks for watching.

@crea8ivjr 3 года назад

@@RealManSkills so the belt dose not og inside the u shape of the keeper's?

@RealManSkills 3 года назад

@@crea8ivjr I have since found out that you can bend the keeper to make the gap smaller. But no, the belt does not go into the U shaped part of the keeper.

@marvinjgerald6007 3 года назад

Those belt keepers in the beginning were not bent. And from the looks of it the belt was never properly routed through the the belt keeper. Theme keepers is just there to be sitting on the outside and never even touching the belt. The keepers are to hold the slack belt up level with the pulley so it can be rewrapped around he pulley. At the end the belt still appeared not to be properly routed through the pulley. All my mowers have the belt threaded through the “U” shaped configurations.

@homestagingredesign 3 года назад

When my husband removed the old belt, which was quite worn, it measured 94.5 inches. However, a new one of the same size was to small. I can't see how an 82 in could possibly fit! Are you sure it is an 1/2" X 82" belt.?

@RealManSkills 3 года назад

My model number called for an 82" belt. Look on the underside of the hood. There is often a decal with pertinent data for that tractor. Your tractor may have a different setup. For example, I own two DLT3000 tractors from the same year - however, they have different engines.

@ocrun6765 2 года назад

Is that belt keeper supposed to be deflecting the straight run of the belt on the return? Seems like unnecessary friction.

@RealManSkills 2 года назад

Looks like it rubs a bit. Probably could be bent out of the way.

@pureblood6310 4 месяца назад

The old owner probably bent the belt keepers to put a belt on it!

You say this is an 82 inch belt but my 42 inch deck says replacement belt is 96 inches. Do you have a smaller deck on your mower?

@RealManSkills 4 года назад

The belt that I replaced is the DRIVE belt. You are looking at the DECK belt. Two different belts.

@patrickgallagher3859 3 года назад

Is the drive belt the same belt on the 5000 as this mower if any one knows

@jacoblightfoot5635 2 года назад

How do you know the belt guiders are in the right position?

They have to be close enough to keep the belt in place, but not close enough to touch the pulley. It's not important to be exact. Thanks for watching.
