Those engines are notorious for shaking apart. Retorque the crankcase bolts and it can prevent a possible disaster. They used wonky torque sensing computer controlled "torque guns" at the factory. For anyone who's used those in a manufacturing setting, you know they are always are messing with the good/ no good range. But those are great engines in a way because you can keep a supply of gaskets and parts easily. The manual transmission is a throwback nowdays. Excellent for hills!

We have an Husqvarna LT151 as well.. the thing is there's a whole boatload of variants of it.. Your LT151 looks very similar to ours which is a HELT151A, this will be stated on a manufacturers label which should be located under the seat.. the MFG. ID number and product no. are very good to have if you need to order parts that you dont' have the part number for.. I did a mower deck rebuild on ours with a new mower deck shell and spindles last winter, as it was falling apart on us. the information on the label under the seat was invaluable in assuring that I got the correct parts... Now I'm waiting for new idler tension pulleys from the us, as one of them suffered catastrophic bearing failure and started to eat the belt.. I'll be replacing both and keeping the undamaged old one as a spare.. To extend the life of the mower-deck drive belt and blade brakes (by the look of the one you showed in the video, you should probably change them soon) it's advisable to keep the engine revs as low as possible without stalling the engine when engaging and disengaging the mower deck

Thanks very much for all your advice. Yesterday when I was cutting my grass I did what you suggested and kept the revs low when I was engaging and disengaging the deck. This is my first ride on mower, so I had a few things to figure out. It's going well now though!

@@Endfloat Happy to be of help 🙂 the LT151 is our second lawn tractor/sit on mower our first one was an MTD yard machine.. we also have a Husqvarna R112C (Rider) so Me and my father have been using them for several years, But it's the last few years I've started to work on our stuff myself.. Its a fun and rewarding experience to be able to fix ting myself 😀 we used to send our LT151 to a Husqvarna dealer to have the belt changed (and those belts have a way of always failing when the dealers are at their busiest), No need to do that anymore.. An other thing that is wise to do is to clean and treat the underside of the mower deck at least once ever season, I've started using fluid-film, but according to donyboy73 you could also use used engine oil from your mower (applied with a brush) to keep it from "rotting" out...This is something that we weren't good enough about before and which along with having the mower deck to low when cutting grass next to the driveway where it could suck up grit/small stones.. and belive me those things can punch straight through the mower deck.. Our old mower deck looked more like swiss cheese than a mower deck at the end... Now I keep the mower deck at it's highest setting at least in areas like next to the driveway, and cant hear any gravel or stones getting sucked up an hitting the mower deck..

Nothing like having your own garage to work in even if it is limited space at the minute. That job would have been so much harder outside in that rain.

Hi just watched the video so which part number is the right one there is only one advertised on the lawnmower site but I dunno if that is the top belt or the bottom one any idea before I order cheers

what length belt was it 1/2inch x 84inch? thanks#
