Taryl, took less than an hour to replace my drive belt. All your helpful hints were spot on: Pinch gas line, remove battery, disconnect steering arms and so on. Not sure if I could have done it without your guidance. Thank you very much.

@mrhardy6647 5 лет назад

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for a clear and on-point tutorial on the slightly non-trivial/non-obvious process of changing the drive belt on one of these venerable JD lawn tractors!!! My LT166 threw the belt off the rear pulley a week or so ago. I was able to get it back on, but it was obvious the 20 (plus?) year-old belt was due for replacement. The local JD dealer had one in stock, the price was reasonable -- but the procedure of replacement would've been a nightmare without this video. My son (a mathematics professor) and I replaced the belt today in about 2 hours (including taking off and remounting the mower deck) with no undue drama -- again, thanks to the video instructions. Besides preparing this fine ol' mower for, perhaps, another two decades, we've answered the age old question "How many PhDs does it take to change a lawn tractor belt?" In our case, it was two. ;) Thanks again!!!!!

@tomsawyer2032 3 года назад

Silly but brilliant. Followed this video and successfully replaced the belt on my LT160 today! $30 and done!

@stevebogard3833 3 года назад

OMG! How EASY you've made this job!! Here's having a Bud Light Tall Boy to ya! I've replaced this stupid belt 2x's doing it laying on my back and fighting awkward arm positions, fighting with the pulleys and sounding like the "Old Man" in Christmas Story. (Sure my neighbors just loved the assortment of words coming from the barn!!) I'm now ready to replace again on my 21 yr old Deere and not dreading job at all. Hopefully the other possible issue I was dreading dealing with will disappear and new drive belt will take me through another season. Thanks a bunch Taryl !!

@kimmattson7631 Год назад

You are a rock star Taryl! I love how you show everything and show the part numbers as well. Thank you, I use you every time I need to work on my JD's!

@tonyberger757 3 года назад

Thanks for this,Taryl. Saved me lot’s of time as do your other videos. Money too! We all appreciate your time, expertise, and humor. God bless you.

@philjungels7617 4 года назад

Thanks a lot, Taryl - here's your dinner! Just got thru changing both belts on my LT160, took 3 hours! I got one more LT160 to do - this just may be a job I didn't want to do, but the belts were toast!

@asokasus4071 4 года назад

wow! thanks for this invaluable instructional video ... i'm a pretty handy guy, but until i saw this video i wouldn't consider replacing the drive belt on my LT155 myself ... tipping the tractor on it's side is one of the best tricks i've ever seen and makes an impossible job possible ... removing the battery and pinching off the fuel line makes the tip possible, and i love the other tricks as well, not to mention the the excellent instructional commentary during the suburb video taping of the entire process from start to finish!

@frankadams6201 3 года назад

I want to thank you for your information on changing drive belt on LT180 tractor.LT160 was the same.

@JohnThomas-kg8wd Год назад

Thanks for this video! I have an LT170 and it was pretty similar. I had problems accessing one nut under the deck lift mechanism. After fooling around with it for a half hour I realized changing the lift position allowed access. I had slow uphill and this belt completely fixed it!

@MrGoosePit 7 лет назад

I don't know which was scarier, Dacula, or changing that belt. It was a great dinner this week, including several steaks, I mean stakes! Enjoyed very much, Thanks!

@michelespringer5198 Год назад

Thanks and keep up the good work. Didn’t feel comfortable leaning the motor over until I watched this video. The drive belt was way easier after watching your video. Thanks again!

@papakernz 3 года назад

I use a drum brake spring pliers to pull those springs like that. Works pretty easy.

@WallsBeeMan 4 года назад

I replaced my LT 160 today so thank you for your video. I did exactly as you showed. There is one thing. Those cotter pins are easy to pull loose. Much easier than taking the nuts loose in the front. Thanks for your video

@stephenwieloszynski4114 3 года назад

OMG! I just replaced my drive belt on my LT-160 and I can honestly say that I likely would never have done it as fast or competently without this video. You can’t possibly measure the headaches and frustration that you will avoid. Suffer the Billy Bob toothed comedy. Just suck it up and take it like a man! You will NOT regret it. Thank you kind sirs.

@garybaltzell2379 5 лет назад

The video gave me courage, courage to change the trans belt on my LT160. I did it, and I even made my own tool to attach the spring!!! Of course, the first thing I did was to break the hood while laying it over on the folding chair. You Warned Me though. Keep 'em coming! There's YOUR dinner!

@4gauge10 6 лет назад

I bought a LT-166 new back in 1996 and I'm so glad I sold it 2 years later Tayrl.HAHA!!.I could not believe what I saw in this video concerning this belt change.A BIG PAIN IN THE..."NECK".LOL!!.GREAT STUFF TAYRL AND CREW!!.

@brentholland8695 Год назад

Thank you for the great help. I had a problem putting things back together while it was right side up. I would have never thought of turning it on it’s side without your help!

@jamess6734 6 лет назад

I love your videos and learned a lot of great tips. Just sharing a tip of my own. Instead of a "hook tool" a boot lace works amazing. Sometimes old Kevlar belts fray and I get a string from them too works amazing. Wrap around the spring hook, wrap around your wrist and pull, saved me many times on jobs in the field.

@stevesalvaggio266 4 года назад

not only is this spot on on how to replace this belt, this guy is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!thanks so much for the help!!!!

@jeremyandrew8428 2 года назад

Thank you my friend. I just changed the belt following your instructions. Complete success.

@buddyadams4364 5 лет назад

THANKS! You have saved me a lot of time & trouble. I enjoy and have learned a lot from this video. Will have to watch the others. I have a 2003 LT150. Currently overhauling the Kohler 15 hp engine.

@stepheneoinquinn7788 7 лет назад

Taryl always got the best videos and I always watch them right before my lawnmower breaks down.

@trevorstolz8580 3 года назад

Another little trick I learned for putting that spring back on is to use tie down straps. One hook goes over the hook on the spring and the other end of the tie down strap is hooked onto something solid on the frame of the tractor. As you tighten the tie down strap, it pulls the spring. Hook the spring to where it goes and then use channel locks (pliers) to loosen the tie down strap. Wriggle the tie down strap hook of the spring hook and you are down. No straining at all.

@CTSully1 7 лет назад

Thanks Taryl :) Just changed original drive belt on LT160 with 600 hours. Perfect instructions!!

@tylerbare380 6 лет назад

Mowing the lawn and my neighbor waved me down... Hit a large branch in my moment of distraction and I'm not sure if the belt broke or popped off its track. Its pretty old, don't think its ever been replaced. Just gotta figure out how to get the lawnmower back up the hill so I can fix it before Dad wakes up! Loved the video. Very educational. Thank you for teaching me how to jerk my deck off!!

@keithblaney9064 5 лет назад

I bought an LT150 in 2003, so a new belt was way overdue. It uses the same belt and procedure as the LT160. I would have never attempted it without your excellent tutorial. So should we meet, I owe you a nice warm pint of blood. Or a cold beer, your choice!

@snowysysadmin59 4 года назад

I did not expect this video to be this thorough. wow. thank you!

@michaelzielinski1702 Год назад

Best advice: placing the mower on its side! That was awesome! Thank you!

@asokasus4071 4 года назад

OK, I followed these excellent instructions to easily replace the drive belt on my LT155 as follows: 1. The drive belt track on my LT155 is the same as the LT160. 2. All three of the pulley nuts on my LT155 are 13mm instead of 14mm. 3. The front of the tie rods on my LT155 are attached with cotter pins like the rear of the tie rods, so i detached the rear of the tie rods instead of the front since both were attached with cotter pins anyway 4. The mower deck on my LT155 is attached at the rear with pins and cotter pins, which are much less convenient than the way the LT160 mower deck attaches at the rear.

@stuffnva 5 лет назад

Thanks so much for posting. The job was made a lot easier following the tips in your video. I never would have thought to make a spring puller but doing so made reattaching the spring a snap.

@jonlambshead5115 Год назад

Hi Taryl, What a Nightmare Of a Belt to Put On, But You Made It Look Easy. The Average Joe Blow Wouldn't Have Been Able To Do That Job. They Would Look At It & Throw Their Hands In The Air . As A Fellow Small Engine Mechanic, I Like Watching All Your Videos. I Laugh Every time You Say That You Have To Jerk Your Deck Off, It Cracks Me Up, It Never Gets Old. A Big Hello From Australia ( CRIKEY ) And As You Say There's Your Dinner

@mikeb46 Год назад

You crazy as a pet raccoon. But man do I appreciate your videos. It's hard to believe a man can have so much fun getting his hands dirty. Many thanks for this. My neighbor has NO mechanical knowledge. I removed his deck and was intimidated by what I saw under there. Guess I had a mental block. It appeared a guy would have to remove all kinds of pieces to weave the new belt in there. So I said, "NUTS". and came home to see if Taryl had a video for me. Thank my lucky stars, and Taryl, there was a video that was just what I needed. His tractor is LT166 but it appears they are identical under neath where the hardware is. This will make it possible for me to finish his mower up tomorrow. It will save me a trip to the dealer and a bunch of labor costs for the neighbor guy.

@pattiray6722 3 года назад

My first viewing of "Dacula" and I must say at first I thought "WTH"?? But the man knows what he's doing. Even if mine was a LT170. Same thing. Not nearly as hard as I thought. Tipping it on the side is the Way to go. Thanks Man.

@Bill-zi9ci 4 года назад

I was reluctant to attempt this repair until I watched this video a couple times. Knocked it out in about an hour. Thanks

@robertelmo7736 4 года назад

Thanks for posting this, I got one of these for free and the belt was off, thought it was on wrong but it's on right thanks to this video.

@rmbjr60 4 года назад

I enjoyed this video so much that I subconsciously screwed up royally and *both* my brand new belts (drive and deck) seized, burned and snapped in less than 90 seconds of operation. That meant I had an excuse to watch this video *again* (after I got myself a new set of belts and plenty of practice jerking my deck off)

@williamfrancis6993 4 года назад

TARALL, cannot find ypu on facebook??? I found you searching for help setting a government, I watched 2 videos previous to finding you page, after listening to your careful and educational simple instructions, I was hooked, man I don't own a john deere tractor mower, never have! but I could correctly service one, that's for sure, I really enjoy your vids man...hands down my number one subscription, next time I go through Kentucky on vacation I will definitely look for them grass rats! Ty for taking your time out to BLESS us with these infomitive videos....

@vonneusohl 3 года назад

This video helped me a lot! Tipping the mower over made things a whole lot easier. It turns out that the LT150 takes a 97 inch belt. Otherwise it’s the same.

@kirka5323 3 года назад

Awesome video! Extremely helpful and entertaining to boot. (Procedure described works equally well for an LT155 btw).

@Leakywaders54 7 лет назад

@DougHanchard 6 лет назад

Many of the Craftsman YS4500's have an almost identical belt drive setup. JD isn't the only one that had complicated belt systems. I like the earlier models that actually had three belts (Deck only, Mower / PTO and Drive) with a release arm right on the deck that slacks off the mower and drive belts simultaneously - despite the cost of an extra belt added to the maintenance list.

@aaronkeith3585 2 года назад

Thanks for the help on the drive belt on the lt160! Any idea what’s up if the mower still doesn’t move after belt change? Hydro pedals do nothing. Seem flat and no pressure. Thanks!

@jayscott7497 4 года назад

Much easier if you remove the two pins on the steering arms under the tractor, instead of at the wheels. Thanks for all the videos!

@fensysltd2471 5 лет назад

With your video I was able to replace this belt in about 40 minutes. Would have taken hours otherwise. Used a vice-grip to reattach the big spring.

Thanks so much for this video. Showed it to my son just so we could enjoy the vampire theme! Question: just to be sure, tipping the lawn tractor (I have an LT150 Automatic) as you show in the video is no problem for the engine oil leaking anywhere? It doesn't need to be drained first, correct? Thanks very much.

@NorthlanderMN 3 года назад

Thanks for the video, and making it fun to boot! While I have an LT155, the tip of how to pull a spring saved my bacon! Question: after replacing the drive belt on my LT 155, the engine stalls at minimum throttle setting. Never had a problem before replacing the belt. I used a John Deere replacement belt from the dealer. Any ideas?

@bellaben 3 года назад

Thank u for this video! Sir, which length of belt you use?

@mikejohnson4099 4 года назад

I have a Scott’s/John Deere S2348. I installed deck but there is a 3rd belt that turns the deck belt, but can not find any info or size of this belt. Any help would be appreciated. Tarly has help me with many of my projects.

@Kingvrofficial Год назад

Hi Thanks very much. Good info. I have question. I have LT160. How do you replace deck belts? Do you take pulleys out/loose or do you squeeze the belt through pulleys and rods by pulleys? There is not much space between pulleys and rods. And my pulleys nut not coming loose. And without pulleys loose I can't squeeze belt through. Looking for good video. Please advise. Appreciate your time

@MG-yw4iz 4 года назад

Taryl, I really appreciate your videos, they help us old guys a lot. There are 3 intermediate pulleys between the motor and the trans pulleys. Is the one up front near the motor the same size as the one in the front of the pair of the middle. I can see the 2 together in the middle are different sizes and found them on Ebay but I want to make sure I get the right one for the front. TIA Dude

@ron045 5 лет назад

Thanks for the repair help and a great video. What's the part number of that folding chair?

@engineer2001 7 лет назад

When putting the deck belt back on, does the belt go through the triangle-shaped belt keeper at the front or around (outside) it? My Toro LX420 looks just like that and the manual doesn't show how to route the belt with the keeper.
