PTO BELT REPLACEMENT
Release the idler spring prongs on the lower, right side
(outside) of the front frame (Figure 21).
Remove the two ½” bolts from the bottom center-shaft
pillow-block bearing, the two spacers and the clutch
torque arm (Figure 22 & 23). This gives clearance to
remove or install belt over the lower end of the center-
shaft assembly. Do not
remove bearing from shaft.
Dislodge belt from the front pulleys and lower it over the
clutch assembly and through the bearing mount spacer
area.
Reverse procedure to install the new belt. Be sure to
reinstall clutch torque arm (Figure 22 & 23).
Note: Remove seat assembly and any front mounted
attachment for greater access. See seat section (page C-5).
