Ok, I will ask him next time, he still has to come back to fix my vehicles.

I cleaned under the deck and loosened the left side blade (as shown in the picture) while he went out to purchase some parts (belt). It is loose but will not come out. I informed him of what I did and suggested the solution of swapping the blades. He completed this later and tested the mower. I...

I still have doubts regarding whether both blades rotate in opposite directions, as he tightened them in the counterclockwise direction for both. It is my solution about switching the blades prior to reading the information here & it solved the problem; I appreciate @Caden and @whitetiger for...

I apologize for the numerous challenges I am currently facing in my life. I have been dealing with multiple issues, including vehicle problems. A mechanic attempted to repair my vehicle, but the job was not done correctly, prompting me to look for a new (used) vehicle. On Saturday, May 30...

I checked the mower and found that the belt came off only on the top pulley by the front wheels, likely knocked off by the lug nut wrench. I tried to pull it back on, but it was impossible. Following Russell King's advice, I removed the spring on one side and was able to pull the belt over the...

Russell King - Thank you for providing the details of the repairs along with the photos. I'm an older woman without much experience or physical strength. Unfortunately, I don’t have friendly neighbors or friends nearby. If I can’t handle the repair myself, I’ll hire someone since I know where...

I hired someone to work on this mower 2 yrs ago; he removed the blades, sharpened them, and reinstalled them. After the repair, it would not cut in the center, so I assumed the blades might need to be positioned in a specific way.

"Mohawk" refers to the strip in the center that isn’t being cut. How can I correct this issue?

Do you think I can buy the #2 drive belt at an auto parts store also? Can I simply route the belt around the pulleys, or do I need to remove one of the pulleys to install it? I’ve attached two pictures, but I don’t see the fourth pulley. Should I route the belt as shown in the yellow...

Do you have a diagram of belt #3 (Drive belt, the one that causes the mower from driving? I would like to try reinstalling it without removing the deck, if possible. I also have a question about blade installation. Two years ago, someone removed, sharpened the blades & putting them back. When...

See response #29.

There is no share pulley on this rider. There is 2 pulleys for the deck belt (diagram calls PTO belt).

It's been raining here all day. There are 3 belts on the mower. The PTO belt, according to the diagram (#1), might be the "deck belt." When I press the lever down, this belt engages the blades. The belt on top under the body frame (#3) seems to be the PTO belt. It's loose and disconnected...

#1 is a deck belt on top (same as pic in #5) #2 is a drive belt on the bottom I believe there is another belt further up & in the back, I believe this one is PTO belt. I have to check it out tomorrow. This might be the problem.

I thought this mower only had two belts, but it appears there is a PTO belt located above those two belts, correct? I will check it out tomorrow & thank you so much for the diagram. I will need to replace the drive belt sometime soon.
