A lawn tractor drive pulley is connected to the engine crankshaft and transfers power to the transmission. As the engine rotates, the drive pulley spins and drives the belts that are connected to the transmission, allowing the lawn tractor to move forward or backward. By adjusting the position of the drive pulley on the engine shaft, the speed and direction of the lawn tractor can be controlled.

Look for the tension pulley. there is a square hole in the end. Stick a 1/2 inch drive ratchet with a short 1/2 inch extension end into it and turn it to releave the pressure off of the pulley.
There is no "fan belt"; the 2.5L V-6 has two accessory drive belts, both with tensioners (loosen the large nut in the center of the tensioner pulley, and adjust the threaded adjustment rod), and the 2.0L I-4 has a single accessory drive belt with a tensioner (loosen the clamp bolt & adjust the threaded adjustment rod).
This requires a special tool to remove and install the pulley. Most auto parts stores should have one in stock Best to remove the pulley with the pump removed from the engine compartment.
Yes.
You must back out three bolts which hold plastic cover over left side spindle pulley first. After cover is removed (or at least two rear bolts are removed allowing cover to be pulled up ) work belt onto this pulley and reinstall bolts on cover. Then, you must loosen idler pulley next to pulley you just placed belt on as to thread belt onto idler pulley which has a metal fence mounted on pulley shaft to keep belt on this idler. Belt must then be threaded around on/off pulley and right spindle pulley and drive pulley.
I have the same mower, and I am replacing the lower drive belt. The small drive belt, or upper drive belt, is easier. Lift the seat, and detach the battery. Pull out the tray that the battery sits on, and bingo, there's the belt. You will have to stop the pulley from rotating as you try to loosen the bolt that holds the pulley in place. There are holes in the pulley, so a long rod of some sort would work to stop it from rotating. You will probably need to spray the bolt with some PB blaster to loosen the rust that is most likely holding in place. Then you will need some elbow grease (figure of speach) to get the pully back on the threaded rod once the new belt is threaded around the pulleys. Good luck!
The "driving" or drive gear is the source of power or rotation. The driven gear is turned or moved by the drive gear. Example: The pulley on a motor is the drive pulley and a pulley on a pump is the driven pulley. Example: The pinion gear in a differential is the drive gear and the ring is the driven gear.

Large drive pulley, small driven pulley = faster rotation but less torque. Small drive pulley, large driven pulley = slower rotation but more torque.
It depends which "pulley" you mean. Drive pulleys are on the front of the engine.
