Hi @andysshop would you happen to know how to get the bolts off to change the blades? There’s barely any room there! Almost impossible to get a socket or any kind of wrench on there. I managed to finally get one off using a 1/2” drive impact but the others won’t budge and I’m afraid I may have wrecked them trying to get them off. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
Good evening, your videos has helped me a lot. However, my mower keeps throwing the belt. The first pulley on the left, flat side of bellt, if you're sitting on the mower, is tilted a little and belt pulls up under the guide bar. Is that the problem?
I’ve heard from many people that these throw belts a lot. Some have suggested getting a belt that is an inch or two shorter. Without looking directly at your deck and belt, I’m not able to say for sure. In Oregon, most Ace Hardware stores have a device that measures belts so you could take yours in to learn the exact length and then find a shorter one online.
Thanks for this vid. Question if you / anyone know the answer... There are 2 rods which go to some kind of shield on the 2 outside larger pulleys One of the shields is broken on mine. The part is no longer in stock. Do you know if the shield is just that? Something to prevent sticks or leaves from getting into the pully/belt?
@@solden49at 0:56 the long piece has a nut on the free end. I don’t recall which way to turn it, but you only have two options. One loosens and the other tightens.
@solden49 The pic isn’t pasting, but hopefully this helps. 1. Park tractor on a hard, level surface.2. Stop the engine, remove key, wait for moving parts tostop.3. Place mower deck in LOWEST setting.4. Engage PTO drive lever.ABD5. Measure distance from bracket (A) to washer (B) ontension rod (C). Distance (D) should be: 20 - 25 mm (0.78- 0.98 in).6. If adjustment is required, continue with Step 7.7. DISENGAGE PTO lever.8. Remove spring locking pin and washer (E) anddisconnect tension rod from blade drive arm.9. Loosen lock nut (F).10.Turn fitting on tension rod clockwise to shorten andcounterclockwise to lengthen effective rod length.11.Tighten lock nut (F) to 27 N•m (20 lb-ft.).12.Assemble tension rod and recheck dimension (D).13.Check brake clearance.

@@andysshop there's no information on how tight the belt should be, one throw does damage to your belt so you have to be pretty careful that said I am pushing meinhard with farm work instead of "Suburban" mowing but I have lots of professional experience on tractors
