Want this question answered?
I changed the blade belt on my Murray mower. Now one blade stops and goes. If I lower the deck the blade stop . What did I do wrong?
84 inch
We will need some more details... Is it the drive belt or the belt for the blades?it is the drive belt for Murray lawn mower model 38618x92a
The idler pulley is located just in front of and to the left of the right-side mower pulley. It's mounted on a bracket which has a long spring attached from it to the front of the mower deck. You can see a good diagram of this at www.partsandservice.com/html/Murray/lt/lt42910x92a.html and click on "mower housing". The belt is Murray part # 37X75 which translates to 1/2" wide by 91.25" around. Any larger mower shop would have this or an aftermarket equivilant.
what size belt do i need with a murray riding lawn mower that is a 12.5hp. 40"
Check the belt and if it isn't that, it could be the PTO. That's under the engine with two wires coming out of it. It will be in route with your blade belt
the main thing is that your belt that goes from the deck to the pulley beneath the pulley on the engine that makes the mower move there is a pulley below that and the belt is to tight. that is the only thing i can think of. hope this helps
The belt from the mower engine to the transmission would be called a drive belt.
Belt is stretched or the tension pulley
I have Murray 42" cut riding mower that the belt came off. How do I put the belt back on?
If it is a push lawnmower, probably (Although I have seen one with an electric starter). If it is a riding mower, probably not. On a push mower, the hub where the blade is bolted onto is attached to the engine driveshaft via a keyway and a fastener (nut). Therefore, the blade is not driven by a pulley. On the contrary, on a riding mower, the blades are usually driven by a belt that transfers motion from the engine shaft pulley to another pulley that spins the blade(s).
