Thanks very much ❤
Thank you Taryl. I have just replaced those belts and the steering shaft. Thanks to your other videos I learned that I could roll the tractor onto its side to get access to the stupid Philips head screw under the steering shaft. I cut it off with a grinder. I don't have the strength to lift the mower so I took a piece of 4x2" pine 7' long, screwed it to the running board with a roofing screw and used it as a lever to roll the machine. Worked perfectly. Now I just have to put the deck back on with the new deck belt and blades and I am done. BTW, I had to cut the shaft so I could drop it out of the upper bushing (not really a bushing it's just a hole in the plastic console) and then I had to hack up the console with an all-purpose tool to make a hole large enough to drop the new shaft in from the top. I used epoxy putty to reinforce the hacked up console. I dropped the deck as I figured it would give better access to the shaft screw and for blade replacement. OH. I don't have an air hammer so I used a regular hammer - took quite a while but the engine pulley eventually came off. I am now thinking that if I put a blunt rod in my old hammer drill it might do the same job. Anyone tried this idea?
Great humor and mower knowledge wrapped up in one neat package. Three thumbs up.
Thank you so much for your videos Taryl and family. I have shared with many folks. This one was the exact mower I am dealing with with and the same old mower issues. Thanks again.
I really appreciate your time and effort to get this video done for me to learn I just installed a new deck belt on now I need to put these upper and lower ones on my mower sat in the garage for 2 years I thank you for sharing with I am very grateful for your help and support and YES we need to laugh more in this time of need great work guys now I'm not afraid to tackle this ridden mower God bless
WOW, That was so easy to change, i thought I would have to bring to a lawn mower shop to have it done. It took me an hour to change it. I'm 11 years old and changed it by myself. So if an 11 year old can do it, anyone can do it. Keep up the good work man.

I’ve done it and I’m around 11 years old
Happy Father's Day Taryl! You been doin this professionally longer n I been alive and I'm 36! That's why even though I been doin repairs for years, I still watch yer vids to pick up tips from an old hat like yerself! Thanks for all you do bud!
Thanks for the video. Helped me changed the upper and lower drive belts on a 2006 MTD variable speed model.
I’ve watched this how to about 75 times. Thanks again! I could never have removed my spindle without that air chisel trick.
Hey Taryl! LOVE your videos. Absolute life savor! May God bless you for so generously taking the time to make these videos to help your fellow man. Hey, man, I got a question ... I'm trying to turn the 5/8" nut off the engine pulley and when I go to turn it the whole engine turns? How do I keep the engine still so I can crank on the nut? Thanks again!

+2028 END - Use a Screw Driver to hold onto the Fly Wheel. Find a secure place so it doesn't' move. From there you can get the nut off easily.
This video is great. I have the same mower. Replaced all belts by watching this. Thanks. Now make one for my POS pressure washer.
Thanks! Will be a big help when I dig into my mower. Hope you have a great day!
Thanks for your video. I have a Huskee 2004 looks exactly the same with deck rod and looks exactly the same under the shift F-N-R. I guess its all MTD. All looks the same underneath. You guys really help us non-mower mechanics.
Most entertaining how to video I ever came across. Thanks for sharing your creativity as well as your knowledge!

Thanks for the vid, exactly what I needed!
(Taryl Fix All) I, Ralph have a question the riding mower you are putting belts on I have a mower like this but a little older model. I replaced my drive belts on it, there was a piece where the Drive shifter connects to the inside wall left side on a bracket along with a wire/medal clip it came off. How does it go back on?
That was very thorough...Good stuff.
thank you that was very informative and the the step by step tips were very helpful
Thanks man, great step by step instructions.
great videos. great camera man. shows taking everything off and putting everything back on. TRUE HOW TO PROFESSIONALS
thank you taryl you saved me a lot of money whstching these videos I just did this to my mtd
I also love these videos; educational, and entertaining. 😁
Thanks for the valuable information .I learned a lot from you on this video. Wow!
Great video. Happy Father's Day Taryl!
Great Job! Thanks for the help.
Must be nice to have a center cover, I had to do everything from below. Mine is a side shifter. I had to replace the variable speed pulley & belts & that spring was a bear!!!!!!!!!!!! Your video had the basics to help me, thanks bunches.
Hey love you vids man they're really helpful. When you take out the variable speed pulley what lubricant do you use on the shaft - bearing grease or gear oil or something else?
TARYL!!! You are my new best friend!!! You've got the ABSOLUTE BEST instuctional video on the internet!!! Serious and to the point ... with some humor on the side! How can anybeat that??? Huge compliments to your videographer too cause your knowledge would be a bit more difficult whithout the excellent video!!! I got ripped off on a Craigslist transaction (my bad, I'm too trusting) and I can't in good conteince sell the riding mower I'm working on unless it is in the operational comdition I would expect for myself!!! I hope replacing the belts will be the end of it! Thanks again!
I HAVE A VERY OLD LAWN MOWER WITH THE MOWER DECK REMOVED SO I CAN GET AROUND THE FARM ! MY BELT LOOKS VERY OLD ! GOT TO SAY YOU MADE IT LOOK MUCH EASIER THAN THE WAY I WAS GOING TO DO IT ! THANK YOU ! NEED AS MUCH HELP ON THE OLD SHEEP FARM AS I CAN GET !

Happy Father's Day Taryl... Another great howto vid... keep it up!!!
I owe you an apology. Last week I commented that the silly presentation might be a turn-off to somebody wanting knowledge and answers for their mower or equipment problems. After watching (and "Liking") several of your videos, I have learned A LOT about maintenance and repair of my MTD mower. Slightly entertaining yet HIGHLY informative and educational. Comedy is selective, yet information is universal. Thank You for schooling me on my mower. I'll try to learn to laugh at the other stuff. Well done!
Thank you this video helped me a lot !!!
Good video easy to follow and well explained. One thing having used this to do the job. I hope you have the air tools. I could not even get the rusty bolt on the front pulley to budge never mind pull the assembly down. I suspect given the vintage of these things that would be the case with most everybody. If you are just the handy homeowner with a decent set of hand tools you will be SOL. Unless you do it the wrong way! This guy will tell you himself that what follows is the wrong way, but if you find yourself in this position feel free to read on. The reason you have to pull that pulley down is to clear the belt by three retaining tabs. You can bend the tabs out of the way and get the belt out. If you go this route DO NOT pry on the pulleys to bend the tabs. Your pulley will bend before the tabs yield and you don't want that! You will have to use pliers and muscle. Once the tabs are out of the way you will need slack on the other end to work the belt out of the tight space. Luckily the center pulley assembly is easy to remove, just a snap ring and washer. Once the new belt is on you can bend the tabs back Mine aren't perfectly straight but that belt is never falling out.

Another way to get the belt off the motor pulley that's easier than bending the tabs is to loosen the engine mount bolts and slide the engine left or right, opening the gap between the pulley and the tabs.
There’s Yur Dinner 👍🏼😀 The Pic Of Taryl At the End was Awesome 👍🏼
Thank you, I would have made that harder if I did it on my own. You saved me time
Happy Fathers Day Taryl !! Thanks for the part number on the Variable speed pulley...
Thanks Taryl that's the job I have to do before I mow this season
I was wondering if anybody reading who has one of these "7 speed shift on the go" MTD models with this 2 belt CVT system can say: How well is it holding up ? Does it tolerate moderate towing ? How frequent are belt changes needed ? Can you compare to Hydrostatic or other CVT lawn tractor Transmission systems? Thanks a ton for any input. I'm deciding which tractor & drive system to buy now.
Thanks for you video i have just done mine and your video help a lot Thanks again, Our Amateur radio club has some field to cut that we us for our antennas and this mower is just right for the job
Do you have any recommendations on what spring clip pliers to use to release the variable speed pulley. Ones I have the tips are too big for the hole
Hello Taryl, great video on the belts. I am working on an Agway 1990, MO 130-689G019. The belts are 754-0280 & 754-0370, I will check the pulley's before I order the parts. Thanks!!
Great video helped a lot Did everything you did but now Ive lost my speed control only runs on 3rd
Bloodly champions pair of you i have one of those here in Australia its not spose to be here,, backdoor import no listing on belt no but u have helped more than then the shop i bought it from cheers from down under
Great video, really helpful!
I need some advice please. I have a 93 version of this mower model 4146395. The front axle is different than I've seen from most craftsman style with the hole in the center of the axle. Anyway I want to mount a plow I purchased, but nothing looks rigid up front
4 years later, you helped me. My rear belt was loose. thought it was stretched. I saw you move the idler pully back and forth. I thought... mine doesn't do that. Pry bar and some WD. TY
Thank you for helping me out I got the belt back on I watch your video on fix the brakes
My Dentally Challenged Mastermind Genus of the wrench and mower. You are my new favorite friend and video series! Keep rocking this info to the mechanically challenged less wits like me! I fixed my Ranch King riding mower! ! ! All by my self. I didn't need my son Soda-Pop's help at all. I think this mower is from the year 1657. Keep on Rock'n the cable waves with these fantastic videos! Can you fix Hot Wheels and matchbox cars. .. . if so, I have thousands of cars that need fixing. . .. some you might even remember from when you were a little Taryl. You Rock! Seriously, thanks for the wrenching tips.
Thank you so much... i did it!... very good and complete instructions...
I seriously like your picture of you Tayrl at 10.5 years old in 1971 on your Kawasaki Coyote mini 🚲 bike...HAHA!!.
Great video! It really helped. Thanks
You have saved me a ship load of time and energy. Great videos.
My mover is 28 years Old and drive like a Queen. 🇩🇰 now i Will change the deck belt and the drive belt too. Thanks for this great video.

after changing all three belts, i started cutting tall grass (on an MTD Yard Machines 12.5 B&S 28T707) the blades would eventually stop, then rev back up again, then stop, then rev back up...this continued until I figured out that the throttle (plate that has the white thingy on it wasn't opening the throttle all the way, so I pushed it with my finger and eventually it started revving higher (the engine), once the engine kicked into this higher throttle setting, it cut like hell. My question is, is that normal? I need to buy a whole new throttle plate because the white plastic thingy is partially melted and causes issues with max throttle settings. What do you guys think.. I'm at a loss. By the way, it's a Model 13AH660F352 MTD Yard Machines - single piston L-head or whatever they're called.

@@dabneyoffermein595 Making comments and inquiries on a 7 year old video just won't do. no one but a lurker like me will see it, and it's just the wrong place to ask because you can't post photos and it's just not the best place. I'd suggest joining one of the many small engine/lawnmower/outdoor power equipment forums. That is where all the information is.
Thank you for posting this video. You made my job a lot easier to do!!
Videos are fun and informative!
hey I just had a question...I want to start working on small engines but how do I stay busy in the winter because I live in nc
An alternative to the two bolts in the wheel well for the shifter is to go down through the bottom. There is one bolt that connects the shifter to the transaxle, and it's very easy to get to when the mower is jacked up. Remove that one bolt and the belt can come down and the new one can go in.
Excellent video! I did, thru your help and expertise, exactly as shown. Then put it back together, started mowing/leaves, then noticed that in the higher speeds, it won't pull. 1 thru 3 is fine, but 4 to 6 or uphill, it slows to nothing or very little movement, until I Go back down to 3-1. There is no belt squealing or slipping, I can see. What am I missing? Thanks. Also, VERY happy I didn't have to jerk my deck off....
Taryl absolutely great video I watch every week there ya dinner!!!
thanks taryl for the tip on shift knob removal!
i got a spring dangling down and dont know how to hook it back up right,i know it is for the idler pulley though.but i cant keep tension on my belt,also why is the yellow wire just dangling by the solenoid? my mower is same way
thanks taryl -from Australia
Thanks Taylor. Need help on how to adjust the clutch. New belts installed. But, in gear sometimes it slows down and stops. If I put it in a higher gear. It will go but slows down and stops going up hills??
i have a mtd yard machine with the same type of belt routing and my question is why the mower goes in forward and reverse but it gets stuck in forward or reverse until i shut the motor off then it goes in to neutral then when i start it up and put in forward its sticks again. any idea to whats wrong? thank you
Taryl, at 16:40 is that belt being compressed? I have been fighting this section for 3 hours and the belt seems about 1/4 inch too wide to slip thru the gap. I took that guide pin completely out and it didnt help.
I have a grinding noise and my rear end riding lawn mower Yard Machine 7-speed to go what do you think could it be the bearings in the rear end
I have a similar year mower by yard machines and it says clutchless shifting but i can't get it to shift while moving. Any thoughts?
Tayrl what is the part # on the pulley you replaced in this video I have a MTD 600 series ranch king model number is long gone but it is a variable drive much like the one in this video. I would like to thank you for your videos they are extremely helpful
What kind of chisel/punch/bit are you using in your air hammer? CAN NOT get that pulley off mine (looks like the near exact same model).
Great video thanks for info on sizing and pulley maintenance . Brake sticking would not allow mower to roll??? My back belt stays on for several straps of mowing then falls off .I thought it was too long but matches your # gonna check other items
Thank you sir, great tips! This video helped me properly change my MTD drive belts about four times faster and with a lot less frustration than I would have on my own.
Sure glad I found your channel .
I have three of these MTD mowers and I've got one that needs belts replaced on it sitting and I don't use it because of that thank you so much for this video
Superb again . Happy fathers day .
Hey Taryl another good detailed video. These MTDs seem to last forever. I am still using one from 1997, between them and Craftsman a good source for videos.

Absolutely. My Yard Machine is a 2001 model. If it wasn't for these videos I would probably have bought a couple more by now.
thnx for showing the belt with the numbers. I bought a Montgomery ward tractor ;like this for$50 because the guy who had it said the top belt was always jumping off amd wouldn't run right. well after taking the drive belt off here it was the wrong belt it was way to long. reason why I bought it was it had a snow plow on it. but had no mower which I dint need as I have 2 cubs with mowers! the center pully ws frozen too which after working on it got it working too.
I changed my drive belts last year (thanks to this video). However, the mower still slips when it is cold, or when I have a load on it (hauling a cart). Is there any way to adjust or tighten the tension on the drive belts?

Taryl, great job with the DIY assist - I changed my Drive belt in less than an hour and only had one small snafu that was easily fixed. Couldn't have done it without Taryl - real bro'!
