If you're removing ANY pulley on these Deere's to remove or install either belt, you're doing it wrong. That spring to which you referred when talking about adjusting the tightness of the belt is actually for removing the belt. The pulley on the left (as viewed from the rear) rocks upward, the spring providing resistance, to remove the belt. In fact, on that same side, there's a few holes in the frame to assist, as you can slide a large screw driver (or in my case, the handle of a ratchet) thru the hole to gain leverage on the arm to lift the pulley up (you may have to start it with your hand, and it isn't hard to move with your hand). The deck provides the same "system" for removing and installing belts, with the pivoting pulley directly under your right leg (as observed from sitting in the seat, or inboard on the discharge side of the deck towards the back. Don't make a simple job harder. These engineers have thought of everything... Deere is the benchmark for a reason!

Well done and informative video! Thanks for editing non-important parts out. I'm looking at an Extreme clutch today. I think the coil has gone bad on mine. Has melted connectors and is reading a tad over 1 ohm. yay.

Same exact thing happened to mine. Love the mower. I have 737

What should I check if I’m not getting voltage to the pto? Is there a fuse?

looks like a good time lol. I wanted to throw you a quick tech tip, when you are checking voltage you should check with it disconected first then again with the clutch connected. the reason for that is if you have a damaged wire ( frayed or broken almost whole way threw) it may give you voltage by itself but as soon as it gets a load on it the voltage will drop because of the resistance on bad wire or conector. thiš has bitten me a few times. on a side not that looks like a much better clutch. nice job

Looked like a pain to get off there but at least they make it easy to access. Good job!

I got them same machine and clutch however mine didn’t work. I’m also only getting 12.4 volts so I suppose I have to replace wires , as they are frayed slightly

good job! my jd 120 ,1988,is was told if it shots out your again, its the clutch?

Thanks!

Well done & thanks! What is the bolt torque setting please? We had a hell of a time getting it off.

Sense nobody hasn’t explained how to get the PTO off I will explain it’s really simple all you need is WD40 a hammer and a balljoint tool. Spray the top of the shaft with WD40 let soak for awhile then take the balljoint tool wedge it between the motor and the top pully so that it goes around the shaft hammer it in and it will push the pully off of the shaft. This works on all John Deer mowers. You may have too take all the motor mount bolts out so you can reach the top of the shaft it depends if your motor is vertical or not

This was very helpful. Thank you!

replaced old clutch with new one but when engaged engine seems to weaken ,not as much power any suggestion m

How did you prevent the whole thing from turning when you cranked off the bolt?

Mine slides right off my Toro Groundmaster 120 shaft.

Do they make a puller to pull this clutch without destroying it?

Ok I put my new clutch on but when I try to torque it down the motor turns. What am I doing wrong?

Why didn’t you change the shaft seal at the same time , and I guess you never found the torque for the clutch bolt

Now that you did the great work on your John Deer ZTrak. Come down here and help me rebuild both Hydro units on my Exmark. LOL! Good job!

how do you keep engine from spinning while trying to torque bolt

ur battery light comes on just like mine does.. i hope i never have 2 do that 2 my deere. my clutch is diffrent from urs but still can fail.

Great video!!

Where can I get a puller like yours? Can't get my clutch off. 27hp hustler super z

hey cant complain about that for an 02, how many hrs u gettin on the deer these days,i just cracked 50hrs on the bota with the kohler pro motor, i know that aint nothin considering i have a deer tractor with almost 400 on it.
