Changing the Transmission Drive Belt
All belts on your tractor are subject to wear and should
be replaced if any signs of damage are observed.
NOTE: It is recommended that both drive belts be
replaced at the same time.
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,
