Maintaining
Your Tractor
After first making sure the deck belt is properly
engaged in all of the deck pulleys, route the deck belt
forward through the center of the front deck hanger
rod and toward the PTO pulley on the bottom of the
engine.
Using the deck lift handle, raise the deck to the
position that gives you the most horizontal run of the
belt between the deck pulleys and the PTO pulley on
the bottom of the engine.
Sitting in front of the tractor, facing rearward, make
certain the belt is not twisted; then reach beneath the
tractor to grasp the belt and pull it toward the PTO
pulley.
NOTE: References to left and right are from the front of
the tractor in the following instructions.
Pull the right side of the belt forward and place the
narrow V side of the belt into the PTO pulley.
While holding the belt and pulley together, rotate the
pulley to the left. Continue holding and rotating the
pulley and belt until the belt is fully rolled into the
PTO pulley.
WARNING: Use caution to prevent
pinching your fingers when rolling the
belt onto the PTO pulley.
