Wheel Drive Belt
NOTE: The wheel drive belt is under the least amount of
load and will wear at a slower rate. It may not be
necessary to replace the wheel drive belt as often as the
tine belts. Inspect the belt and read the following steps
before proceeding.
1. Remove the left wheel by removing the cotter pin and
clevis pin which secure it. Use a jack stand or wood
blocks to secure the left wheel axle and stabilize the
tiller.
2. Remove the upper two screws which secure the
bottom frame cover and pivot it downward.
3. Remove the wheel drive belt from around the lower
idler pulley as follows:
a. Loosen, but do not remove, the hex bolt which
secures the lower idler pulley.
b. Unloop the belt from around the lower idler
pulley and transmission pulley.
4. Remove the wheel drive belt from around the upper
idler pulley as follows:
a. Carefully remove the small spring from the
upper pulley’s idler bracket.
b. Gently pry the belt keeper tab upward with a
flathead screwdriver.
c. Carefully unloop the wheel drive belt from
around the upper idler pulley.
NOTE: To install a replacement belt, perform steps 1-4
in reverse order.
