46-inch Decks with Electric PTO
Insert a 3/8”-drive ratchet wrench (set to loosen) into
the square hole found in the idler bracket on the left
side of the deck’s surface. See Figure 22.
Grasp the ratchet’s handle and pivot it toward the
tractor’s right side to relieve tension on the belt.
With belt tension relieved, carefully remove the
belt from around the left-hand spindle pulley.
All Models
IMPORTANT: Carefully allow the ratchet to pivot
rearward before removing it from the square hole.
Remove the deck belt from around all pulleys,
including the deck idler pulley.
Route the new belts (deck belt first).
Remount the belt guards removed earlier.
Changing the Transmission Drive Belts
NOTE: Several components must be removed and
special tools (i.e. air/impact wrench) in order to change
the tractor’s drive belts. See an authorized dealer to
have your drive belts replaced.
