To install the idler spring on a 38-inch mower deck, first, ensure the mower is turned off and disconnected from power. Locate the idler pulley and the spring mounting points on the deck. Attach one end of the spring to the idler arm and the other end to the designated anchor point on the mower deck, ensuring it's securely in place. Finally, check the tension and adjust if necessary to ensure proper operation.
On a 2007 MTD Yardman riding mower, the pulley tension spring is typically attached to the deck engagement lever and the idler pulley. The spring helps maintain tension on the idler pulley to ensure proper belt engagement for the mower blades. To install it, locate the spring attachment points on the lever and idler pulley, ensuring it's securely connected for optimal performance. Always refer to the mower's manual for specific diagrams and instructions.
On a 1054 Cub Cadet riding mower, the idler pulley tension spring typically attaches to a bracket or a hole on the mower deck. This connection allows the spring to provide tension to the idler pulley, ensuring proper belt alignment and operation. It's crucial to ensure that the spring is securely attached to maintain optimal mower performance. Always refer to the specific mower's manual for exact attachment points and procedures.
Remove the deck. First by pulling the pins that attach the lift brackets, and then remove the rear spring, and the 2 belt guides under the engine for the belt that drives the deck (1/4" socket). After the deck is out, release the spring that applies tention on the right idler pulley (you'll have to remove the 2 side pulley covers).

You'll need the snowblower, the mule drive for the snowblower, and the belt off of your mower deck. The blower attaches where the mower deck mule drive snaps in with the two spring pins. The mule attaches to the bottom of the blower and back to the deck height adjustment hookup. Run the belt from your PTO, through your idler pulleys on the mule, then round the drive puller on the blower. Tension the belt and you're off. Case tractors are beautifully simple.
To install a John Deere LA deck lift tension spring, first ensure the mower is turned off and the deck is lowered. Locate the spring's attachment points on the deck and the lift arm. Hook one end of the spring onto the lift arm, then use a spring hook or pliers to stretch the spring and attach the other end to the deck. Finally, check that the spring is securely in place and that the deck lifts and lowers properly.
To install the ground drive belt on a Craftsman model 917.271030, first, ensure the mower is turned off and disconnected from power. Remove the deck by unscrewing the necessary bolts and detaching the belt from the engine pulley and idler pulley. Place the new belt around the engine pulley, then route it through the idler pulley and around the drive pulleys, ensuring it sits properly in the grooves. Finally, reassemble the deck and test the mower to ensure the belt operates correctly.
To change the drive belt on a Hustler zero turn mower, first, ensure the mower is turned off and the key is removed. Raise the mower deck and secure it, then locate the drive belt routing diagram, usually found on the mower. Remove the old belt by detaching it from the pulleys and idler, and install the new belt by following the routing diagram in reverse. Finally, double-check that the belt is properly seated on all pulleys before lowering the deck and testing the mower.
The belt is too loose. Replace it or adjust the idler.
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.
To install a 42-inch deck belt, first, disconnect the mower's power and remove the deck from the mower. Next, route the new belt around the pulleys according to the diagram specific to your mower model, ensuring it fits snugly in the grooves.
