Changing The Transmission Drive Belt
All belts on your tractor are subject to wear and should
be replaced if any signs of wear are present.
IMPORTANT:
The V-belts found on your tractor are
specially designed to engage and disengage safely. A
substitute (non-OEM) V-belt can be dangerous by not
disengaging completely. For a proper working machine,
use factory approved belts.
To change or replace the drive belt on your tractor,
proceed as follows:
Remove the cutting deck as instructed earlier in this
section.
After disconnecting the battery cables, remove the
battery and battery tray from beneath the seat.
IMPORTANT:
When removing the battery, disconnect
the NEGATIVE (Black) wire from it’s terminal first,
followed by the POSITIVE (Red) wire. Re-install in
reverse order.
