This is the most uplifting comment I've seen all week... because in about 30 minutes, I'll doing just that for my Husqvarna YTH22V46. So far, all the videos I've seen involves removing the deck. I was beginning to think it wasn't going to be possible to replace that belt without removing the deck. Now I have hope.

In my opinion, a good diy video is one that answers the questions that are not in a manual, PDF, or repair literature. They never tell you the tricks of the trade. Your video is awesome. Short, straight to the point, and answers the little questions that can make a job much easier. Don't you hate the diy videos where the guy is more concerned with making a blockbuster with a ten million word dialogue, Talkin' and talking and trying to be clever. OMG, it'll drive a man who only wants the data crazy. Thank you for keeping it professional and you're very good at describing the entire process. I especially appreciate the tool recommendations at the very beginning. Good job mate 👍👍

I sincerely want to thank you for this awesome video. I was going to bring my Southern States tractor to the dealer to replace the belt. It’s the same model as a Husquavarna. I watched the video and then played it for every step of the process. Some of the clips were a bear to get off but got it apart and followed every step. My only issue was putting on that back tensioner. I don’t recall you saying to raise the deck and I did and was able to get it on. My wife was like do you think it will work and I was like yes this nice man told me how to do this! I started the yard tractor and cut my whole yard which takes like an hour.

Thank you so much for the detailed instructions! We successfully changed the belt! Do you happen to have any tips on how to fix the engine surging? We have a new carburetor and air filter and the fuel filter is clean… and still no luck. We think it is the governor spring that won’t stay connected. Your thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!!

@JohnsonsSmallEngines

Ай бұрын

Impossible to diagnose correctly without seeing an the machine. Surging normally means a lean condition, not getting enough gas. I would suggest finding out how fast the engine is going at full speed. It should only be around 3300 to 3600 rpms. If your engine is surging only at full speed but if you bring down the throttle a little is it still surging? If it is still surging at lower speeds and you purchased a aftermarket carburetor? That most likely is your issue. You could also have a gas cap vent not working properly or a blockage in the fuel line.

So much easier to change belt when you remove the deck!

I followed your steps exactly. When reassembling I can't get the two black arms to line up back up with the frame. I unhooked the belt from pulley then attached the arms. Now I can't get the belt back on the front pulley.

Thanks so much for your informative and well-produced segments! Question, please: I’ve replaced the left and right belt keepers on my YTH 18542, both which broke directly below the mounting bolt on separate occasions. I’m really puzzled by this, since my lot is flat, and I go pretty easy on the mower. It doesn’t seem like these belt keepers are under much general stress. Would you be willing to speculate on what might be causing them to fail? Thanks!

@JohnsonsSmallEngines

10 ай бұрын

I have seen if the mower deck is adjusted to high, the mower deck will hit the guides and after time they will get weak and break from the mower deck hitting them constantly while driving. Or possibly the belt is running on the incorrect side and putting stress on them making them break but in that case the belt would also not last very long. I’m sure there are other ways that they brake, but I am not aware of them, normally I see them already broken and just replace.

You will need to check to make sure you have the correct belt and all of your belt guides are in place. If the belt guides are all in place and all adjusted properly, the belt should not come off when you disengage the blades. If your blade belt is coming off when you are using the mower deck? you may have something else wrong with the mower deck or the person who installed it did not use the correct belt, installed incorrectly or the belt guide are either missing or not aligned correctly.

When I purchase a mower deck belt, I always use OEM original equipment manufacturer and if you are not using that belt, then that may be the problem. Other than that I have come across one machine in 30 years that I could not get the correct belt to fit as in your case it was too large, so I just came down in sizes until I found one that worked well, if you have that issue, then you may need to go down to the 105.75 but I do not go by inches I normally go go by part number and purchase the OEM belt.

Helpful video, thank you. I replaced the mower deck belt - still struggling that it does not engage even when installed correctly. I did find one of the belt guide posts broken off - I think it was the J bracket on the right hand side of the drive pully - not sure how essential that is or how to repair. I also wanted to suggest that the "nub" you refer to on the belt tensioner bracket is intended to make sure that the belt tensioner bracket is aligned correctly. On my mower, the bracket was installed so that the nub fit in the bracket slot and ensured correct alignment. Does that make sense to you?

@JohnsonsSmallEngines

Жыл бұрын

Sounds like incorrect belt? I have seen the blade engagement cable bracket every way possible. Welded to the deck, the nub on inside, nub on outside, no nub at all. I have found, it does not matter how the bracket is sitting. If you have the correct OEM “original equipment manufacturer” belt and your blade engagement cable is in good condition, the mower deck is mounted correctly, it should work.

Under the hood tells yeah everything

Idk if you took the deck out to make it easier to see what you're doing, but you totally don't have to.
