All belts on your tractor are subject to wear and should 
be replaced if any signs of wear are present.

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 deck belt and PTO belt on your 
tractor, proceed as follows:
1.  Lower the deck by moving the deck lift lever into the 

bottom notch on the right fender.

2.  Remove the belt guards by removing the self-tapping 

screws that fasten them to the deck.

3.  Remove the belt keeper rod from around the engine 

pulley.

4.  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 26.

5.  Grasp the ratchet’s handle and pivot it toward the front 

of the tractor to relieve tension on the belt. 

6.  With belt tension relieved, 

IMPORTANT: Carefully allow the ratchet to pivot rearward 
before removing it from the square hole.

7.  Remove the deck belt from around all pulleys, including 

the deck idler pulley.

8.  Route the new belts as shown in and Figure 27 and 28.
9.  Remount the belt guards removed earlier.

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 MTD Service 
Dealer to have your drive belts replaced or phone 
Customer Support as instructed on page 2 for information 
on ordering a Service Manual.
