To adjust tension of the mower deck drive belt, turn
adjuster nut on threaded eyebolt. Turning nut to the
right will make the belt tighter. Turning nut to the left
will loosen the belt. See illustration on page 39.
Idler arm, spring and eyebolt location/appearance
will vary on some models.
Note: Belt deflection or movement should be
approximately 1/4” when measured at mid-
point between pulleys. Periodically inspect
both belt and idler systems.
