That mower is 2009 model I believe. The lady the owns it is in her 80s and is very particular on keeping her equipment clean.

great video to get me through the basics. My troy built is a super bronco and there were just a few differences compared to your video. for those that have a super bronco, the rear variable speed pulley has 3 bolts that hold the assembly in place. the bolts are located outside the frame by the rear tire. just loosen all 3 and it allows the belt to slip into the pulley. also the idler pulley has no spring and need to be unbolted and the whole pulley and guide come off. The last difference is there are 3 small bolts with guides that are bolted in the under carriage that help guide the drive belt. those also have to be removed to facilitate feeding the belt between the floor of the frame and the pulleys. You can unbolt them from under the tractor through holes. they are where the drive belt is located. thanks for the video, very helpful. Belt change out went as planned.

Thanks for posting, the three bolts are all the same size on the drivers side rear. This does let you cock the pulleys making it easy to slip the belt on between the frame. Do not remove them, just loosen them all a little bit at a time. The other issue that I had to work around was getting the belt past the guard on these pulleys--you have to get it around the back and then PULL it through (towards the front of the mower).

Thank you so much for the video. Saved me a lot of money to get a pulley replaced and getting the drive belts changed. Gonna cost me 400 for the service. Thank you very much again Sir 🙏🙏

I enjoyed the video. Gave me good starting point. Due to the body seam being too big I had to remove the pulley above the trans because there was not enough clearance to remove or replace the lower trans belt. Also because of a belt keeper on the small pulley that the tension spring attaches to I had to loosen that pulley from below to obtain clearance to remove upper trans belt. My mower is exactly like the one in the video and even has the Lowes sticker on it, so there must be a bit of variances in the body when built.

Thank you, it is kind of a hobby of my working on these small engines and I enjoy making the videos.

On my TB Super-Bronco: I had to loosen up the 3 bolts to the variable speed pulley assembly where the upper & lower belts run to get enough room to get the belts on / off. Also, instead of trying to take the heavy duty spring off (and back on) of the idler pulley for the upper belt, I rigged up a binder strap around the back of the tractor and compressed the spring that way to finish up the upper belt install. There's also a belt retainer screw & bushing that had to come off to get the old belt off, new one back on. It's accessible through a hole strategically drilled on the bottom 'skid' plate. Putting the mower deck back on was painful too until I shimmed up the front about 2", then was able to get the rear pins installed. All in all, what a pain to replace these belts, but I'm appreciative of this video, thanks.

I was going to pay a mobile repair guy to do the job for me. He cut off the belt, left and is trying to tell me "he can't get the right belt". I got one on Amazon in 2 days. Called him up and said "I have the belt", let me know when you want to install it. "I hear crickets" (he's ghosting me now). I guess he gave up. So, watching your video, I know what I need to do if he keeps blowing me off. The biggest problem is doing it on the ground so I think I'll tilt one side up and put it on blocks to repair.

Just replaced one on my 2004 Troy Bilt 809Z garden tractor with flat idlers. I took the body off because there is a nut under the body to get to, way easier to get to other pulleys. Borrow an impact wrench for the main drive shaft(PTO) usually 5/8. You may have to use PB blaster or similar and very soft tapping with a hammer on a piece of wood on the PTO spindle(if you have electric PTO) and drive pulley. Make sure you have manual with diagrams.

Thats great. I appreciate the comments.

I replaced the belts on my Troy Bilt after paying a small engine shop $150 and a few months later discovering they had replaced only the short belt; the other was in dreadful shape; after doing the replacement myself I realized why they only pretended to replace the long belt: it is a PITA.

I hope this video helped.

the most difficult aspect of this repair is , snaking the belt over and under the steering bracket ..don't let Ed fool you , he employs a wire leader to pull the belt through the steering bracket .

I dont believe I did on this tractor but I also had it up on a rack so it was easy for me to get my hands in there. Thank you for giving that helpful trick and thank you for watching.

Like video I thought it was your great video

Thank you. I try to make every video better than the last one.

I have a troybilt horse. The drive belt broke, a stick got in there. I can't get the fan under the battery loose. Everything turns. What can I do to lock the fan?

Unless the fan is broken you shouldn't have to remove it I believe. If it is broken and needs replaced some models have a hole in the hub you can stick a punch or screwdriver in to lock it in place.

Couldn't wait to stop that ad. To start this one!

Thank you for watching the ad and the video.

Putting the new belt on the back pulley (about 10:50) was not quite so simple on my Bronco. I have bruises on both of my old arms but the pulley was just too close to the chassis to get the belt on.. I did find a simple way, but no one on any KZread video explained this solution. So if you have problems like I had just contact me and I will be glad to share the solution.

Yes on some model's it can be a pain. If you remove the large pully it's easy to get belt on. I show it in a newer video I did.

Nice close up Views Ed

I honestly don't remember what it is. I do know I got the belt from my local dealer and it was an OEM belt because some of the aftermarket ones do not fit correctly.

I'm not really sure if you tractor has a standard transmission or avaliable speed. Check the tension on the drive belt if it is too tight it can't slip when in neutral.

I have a variable speed.a gas petal on the Right side.and a brake on the left.is it best to change the upper and lower belts at the same time? And where do you suggest I get the belts from? I've used Sunbelt and rotary belts. Think these belts are too small.Any info would be great.thanks again

@PullerbearEd

Yes I'd change both at the same time. If I can not get OEM belts I get my belts from NAPA.

How do you adjust the tension on the upper Drive belt?

@PullerbearEd

There is no adjustment it is set by the spring tension of the idler

What does mean when the pulley is turning but not the belt

@PullerbearEd

It sounds like the belt tension is loose. But without seeing it in-person it's really hard to say.

You didn’t show how to get the belt off and back on to the back pulley . The part I am having most trouble with!
