Thanks for this video. I needed to get the transmission belt off rather than the pulley but the pulley had to come off to do it. I spent 3 hours and a lot of sweat and tears trying to refit it all when I saw this video and the tip to remove the idler pulley tension spring - common sense really but I had lost all mine by then! Anyway, back together and running in less than 15 minutes after watching this. By the way, mine is an MTD but mechanics are the same. Thanks once again and remember that if you get stuck with a similar problem, there is usually a video here somewhere that can help.

Thanks Andrew! Glad our advice was able to help you with the repair!

It would have been useful if you had mentioned the typical symptoms of a pulley that is faulty. Half the problem here is diagnosing what’s wrong

Nice video...when I have done this...there were a few flying F words...as I really hate working on these machines.

I only wish you had a repair video specifically for replacing the variable speed pulley. This was a good video though it may get me there.

Thanks for your comment. I will pass your suggestion on to our repair team!

Your Awesome!

What kind of screw driver did you use because mine isn't working for when you lock the pulley

my 2011 troybilt bronco has trouble with the forward pedal,doesnt have any tension on it when I press on it,it wont return back so the tractor has a hard time going forward so only playing with the pedal can I get tractor to move?any suggestions

hay mark what do you think wrong when my troy pony driving forward will jumps in an out of forward gears reverse is ok

this unit looks the same as my mtd mine is slipping hen put in to gear then bangs and will move or slip again bang then go --may slip again with uneven ground!!

I have a troy built ltx 1842 and the speed pedal does nothing anymore,a belt came off...how do I go about fixing it.

You make it look easy, but try that on a 5 or 6 year old machine. how about showing us how the pro's would remove a rusted on pulley! Please, no kidding, need to remove two right now. thanks

I replaced all three of my belts. But now the drive belt is not tight enough, my guess. When I try to go forward or reverse the mower will start to move but then stop. How do I go about tightening my drive belt? My poor yard needs mowed badly. Haha

Could someone help me? I replaced the transmission pulley and hub, I took the seat off to get leverage when pushing the 'snap ring' back in (was under the pulley, not sure I had to remove it in the first place) anyways, the electrical connection on the left side (with the bracket and spring) I believe part of the bracket is supossed to touch and release from the connections where the wires are (safety feature?) Well it keeps popping out and the mower starts just fine but stalls out when I put it in reverse...

Hi Allison, thank you for your question. You may want to contact the manufacturer of your lawn tractor and see if they can send you a wiring diagram of your unit. While you are speaking to them, you could ask them about the specific problem you are having. Sorry we couldn't be of more help. Good luck with your repair!

i bought a 2014 troy-bilt riding mower at lowes,,,an i only mow about 1/2 acre if that well it seemed like 1 of the belts was slipping so i replaced the deck belt then i got to thinking thats not it so i replaced the drive belt then i changed the trans. belt which now it has all new belts well i was mowing today an i also mowed my neighbors yard well it felt like a belt slipping but to me since all belts are new the only thing i can think of is the transmission is slipping or maybe 1 of the pullies are bad i don't really know CAN ANYBODY HELP PLEASE ID SURE APPRECIATE IT........

When you say if feels like a belt is slipping, are you noticing it when your in gear and moving or is it noticeable only when the blades are engaged? You may have a faulty transmission or a belt idler that's not keeping the correct tension on the belts. These are typically a really dependable mower and your mower doesn't sound very old so I'd rather think there's something out of adjustment.

How do you remove the gold but from the transmission pulley? It's put on from the company by an impact and I can't get the leverage with a 7/8 hand wrench to remove it!! It's on there!

+Allen Davis (DAVISENTERPRIZE) This is a "Right Handed" nut. Some of these are hard to get lose. An impact wrench is about the best solution for these. Make sure it is in the Reverse Position.
