Great tip. Removed the 4 Bolts and muffler shroud. Engine moved and I was able to slide the engine enough to push belt past the keepers. Quick and easy. Thanks again for generously sharing this tip!
For the engine? There are 4 bolts that drop down through the base of the engine and through the frame of the riding mower that you access from the engine bay and then underneath the frame. Loosen those and pull out and then you can move the engine around enough to maneuver the pulley to get the old belt off and the new one on.
@@jjsmachine unless I missed something I had to go up through a hole in the steering sector plate to get at one bolt. Even had to move drag link out of the way.
@@kenhilson786 not all machines are the same but most just have 4 bolts holding the engine to the frame. They are at the 4 corners at the base of the engine. That's all you should need to get a little wiggle room.to get the belt off and a new one on.
@@Drdickie101 Not sure how soon you need an answer. Pouring rain here for the next several days due to the tropical storm. I should be able to take a picture or two Friday or Saturday.
