good info.. one thing i can add,, the most generic belts are a 104cm belt an the OEM belt same exact part number is a 107cm,, i couldn't use the generic as the belt was to short an i could not adjust enough to get the blades completely disengaged.. so going back to the longer OEM belt..
I bought the same belt for my John Deere D105 and it’s too loose and keeps slipping off and mine doesn’t have the tensioner piece on the deck to tighten it.. guess I’m gonna go back to the regular belt.
@@lendermanshop yeah pretty aggravating. I had to stop four times other evening when mowing to put it back on until the new one comes in that I ordered.
i have a d105 with a brand new drive belt installed. it has the proper belt, but its too loose and the mower will barely drive.. is there a way to tighten the tension on the drive belt? ty
Unfortunately I do not have an answer for you as I am not that all familiar with the drive belt yet!! I did find a forum here with some discussion on the topic. www.mytractorforum.com/threads/d105-drive-belt-traction-not-mower-deck.992258/. Also, be sure to check that the pulley under your seat is functioning properly, I had to replace that last year. Thanks for watching, JL.
I got my John Deere belts for free and i was very lucky to do this we have a place in Evansville they call treasure Hunt it's returned packages from Amazon and other places my GF Was Digging Through Them And Found a package from Amazon that said John Deere parts so I purchase it for $ 5 when I got outside I opened it up and inside were 3 John Deere Deck Belts For The D-110 also Air Cleaner with Foam Sleave x3 spark plug x 3 gas filters X3 Blades x 2 all original John Deere parts we still go back there every week and I find parts for other riding mowers and a lot of Other Things saved $$$$$
you didn't show us how you did it. You showed us before and after pics, basically. How did you take the pulley off? Which way did you turn the nut, and how did you stabilize the pulley while you did so, without damaging anything?
I have an earlier video that might be of more help to you with some of your questions. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wngIgp5MCL4.html Since I had already done this video I did not include all this again in this particular post. I hope this helps, thanks for watching. JL.
@@swadehead30 You've possibly found a solution already, but if not, how about trying to get another bracket made up (could easily be a decent handyman's fix) then align it behind the existing welded one (or cut the welded one off altogether) and screw it into the deck behind the existing one with Tek screw.
Weld a nut with the same thread pattern to the front side of the plate so it pulls the cable tighter. Just make sure that the threads are aligned properly to the treads on the deck before welding.
@@swadehead30 Yeh, sorry about that. I have no idea how you might go about tightening the belt. Does not make sense that they removed such an important and inexpensive piece!
Hi. When you purchased this Kevlar belt did it look like it had dirt and possibly grease stained all over it? Lol I’m trying to determine if I was sent a used one from amazon. Thanks in advance
Sounds like you may have received a return! I bought mine at HD so I was able to look at it first. I guess as long as it doesn't look used or stretched it will be good. Keep us updated, I am curious as to how it works out for you. Thanks for watching!
Hi, Sorry it took so long to get this information...I'm only in the garage every day!! The reading says 223.5. So far I am happy. I did need to have the coil replaced at the beginning of the season last year and now is running good. I have noticed it moves a little slower than I think it used to but that's only on the street when I am blowing the clippings back on to the yard. Other than that, overall it seems to be running well. thanks for watching, JL.
I guess they are linkage pieces. What year do you have? I know the tension adjustment piece went away and is now a solid brace. Perhaps some other modifications were made in the later models as well. Thanks for watching, JL.
