T1760 How to replace HST drive belt?

[Peterac]

Need to know how to replace the belt. Any schematic would be appreciated. There is no forward or reverse, trans oil is at correct level. Engine running fine.

Thanks

it has been SO long since I've dealt with anything but carburetors on the 1760 that I can't remember....and I don't forget much on mowers.

Come to think of it I can't remember if I ever even put a belt on them? 1460/1560 plenty but I don't recall doing any 1760's. I think they're similar, and easy. You gotta remove part of the steering (drag link) but the rest is easy and it only goes on one way.

Thanks, mower is at my sons I haven't seen it yet but he did. After some reading I will look at the pulley tensioner when I get up there plus put on new belt. Ive changed the deck belts numerous times but not the drive.
What is the steering drag link?

OK looked up drag link, so that is the straight arm going to the front to move change the angle of the front wheels?

I believe on my 1460 I had to remove the pulley from the crankshaft in order to get the old belt off
