Well Hmmm... It could be the belt is to long, the tension spring is worn, if it is a vary drive system (2-belts) the vari-drive assembly may be worn and not grip the new belts. Re check your belt routing make sure it is on the inside of the guide pins and not stuck on one. If you removed the front drive pulley from the engine to remove the belt ( some people do) check to see if the drive key is still in place. One last thing is to check and see if the new drive belt is installed or seated in the transmission drive pulley, some times they can fall below the pulley.

How do you replace drive belt on 425009x8A lawn tractor?

The biggest hurdle comes from the fact that the belt must run around the steering post. The best way is to: 1) Drop and pull the cutting deck out from under the mower (5 cotter pins) 2) remove the steering wheel 3) remove the plate below the steering wheel (has two phillips screws) 4) access is large enough to feed the belt down through the opening 5) while plate is off, manipulate the steering post to allow the belt to move on down past a bracket within the housing 6) replace the plate, replace the steering wheel 7) turn attention to below the mower and feed the belt around the front drive pulley 8) in order to feed the belt to the back drive pulley you will need to release a pin on the clutch and manipulate the belt. Replace the pin 9) Depress the clutch peddal to get the belt around the smaller black tension pulley. 10) pull cutting deck back under the mower and replace the 5 cotter pins

How do you remove the mower deck on a Murray lawn tractor?

First Loosen the belt tension by disengaging the drive lever. Remove the belt from the lower drive pulley On the front axle there is a bracket that has a long rod with a quick pin through one end of the shaft. Remove it and then remove the rod from the bracket. This releases the front of the mower deck. Then look on both side of the mower deck and you will find four flat metal pieces (2 on each side) with a hole at the top and each one will have a quick fastener connector to the stud on the chassis. Pull these quick disconnects and lift the deck slightly where you can pull the shaft off of the metal stud. Do the same for both sides and then pull the deck out from under the riding lawnmower. You need to put a block under the the deck when you lower it to keep from it putting a lot of pressure on the other side. It will make it easier to lower the deck.


What engages the blade when you pull the engagement lever on a riding lawnmower?

Most lawn tractors don't have any fancy clutch system, but simply use the belt to engage and disengage the blades. When the blades are disengaged, the drive belt is slack and there isn't enough friction to the pullel to drive the blades. When engaged, the belt is taught and the belt drives the blades. Tension is controlled by a spring loaded pulley. When you pull the lever to disengage the blades, you pull this pulley away from the belt. When you engage the blade, the spring pushed the pulley into the belt, tensioning it.
