I just replaced the drive belt on my d140 using this video as a guide. This video is super helpful. I didn't have a hoist so it took me a while to complete. The details were just right. Thanks for your time and effort to educate and entertain.

Dude, you saved me more than 4+ hours watching you and avoiding huge problems ....THANK YOU

Excellent instructional video. Ive replace the deck belt on my D140 after 8 years and now have confidence that I am ready to handle the drive belt when the time comes.

I've got an E140, and it uses the exact drive belt, and the tensioners look practically identical. My belt is getting a lot of cracks in it, and your video showed me the two most concerning things as I was looking at this belt tonight: (1) the rea pin and (2) how to get the belt from around the steering shaft. Sir, you've just saved me HOURS of time figuring it out on my own, and a world of less-than-sunday-school language from the frustration I would have had!! Great video!!!

This video was EXTREMELY helpful. Thanks for putting it together. I could not have replaced my drive belt without this video. I watched several and this one was the best.

Best video out there for instructions on replacing belts for these models.

Thank you for this posting. You method was so much cleaner than others that I looked into

Every time I leave after watching your videos I feel like I just might be able to do that thanks !

You made that look to easy sir. That lift really looks handy. ✌🇺🇸 Roger

One of the best how to videos I’ve watched

Thanks just the video I needed to replace the drive belt on my D160. Very helpful!

Excellent how-to video! You are an excellent teacher!

Excellent video. Simple clear steps. Looks like what I will need to do to get ours running. Thanks.

Thank you for this video. my neighbor who is an awesome mechanic like you for Crown Lift Trucks, just replaced the mower deck drive belt at 195 hours and said we should replace the transmission belt this winter . I used to be able to do these repairs myself but my agent orange syndr0um has me on oxygen . All I can do now is clean the tractor once my wife has finished cutting the grass(it only takes her 20 minutes or so) . this tractor is over kill for our flat yard . I bought it 11 years ago with 6 hours on it from a landscaper that needed something bigger,$1400.00 later it has been awesome. Still looks new. enough from me but again many thanks and I will have Tommy watch this before he starts.

I hope the customer left a little cash in the bank account, those spindles with the trash wrapped around them will need replaced next. Great job as usual, thanks for posting.

I have a S170 and figure I'll be working on it in the future. Your channel and content helps me know what and how to work on it when the time comes. Thank you

Absolutely great video Thank you

Thank you for the video

Great vid very informative and down to earth, Wish you covered more areas outside of lawn mowers.

Thanks! Helped me a lot today. Same model mower. Just put drive belt back in order.

Wish you were in Georgia I would request your services. LOL Thanks for sharing.

You solved a few of my mystery issues lol. You explain very well and easy to follow along. I wish I would have had you around when I changed out the deck spindles probably wouldn't have taken me a full day. The manual sucks especially for the deck belt and spindles. I have a 2021 D140.

Love your videos brotha! Very thorough. You and your wife make a great team, it is fun to watch!

Glad to see Mrs T-Bone on the big screen! Cheers!

Just a great job! Entertaining and informative!

Thanks for a great video. Gave me confidence to do my E120 belt.

Great channel. You have mechanical talent. Thanks for your videos. I am a JD guy. I have leaned a lot which I can use.

Doing this work today, thank you for the great video !

Thanks! I needed to replace mine and it went perfectly thanks to you! Keep it up

Thanks 😎.... always a great video...and I can tell you know what's going on... I have a couple of those John Deere... I like the simplicity of them. . I just like watching your videos for good entertainment... thanks...

It would be nice to see one of these companies make their engineers repair/service some of the machines they've designed. It would be hilarious!!! Great video T-Bone.

Thank you for this!!!!! I’m learning how to fix things and I’m sure I can fix my mower now!!!

I had to do the same thing with the steering column on a cub cadet on the ground. Great video brother!!!

Fabulous diagnosis Sir, well impressed, I got the stickers, much appreciated, now I just need Jungle Bob to send his

Great video Ty

Thank you for the video. I bought a D140 at an estate auction. The idler pulley froze on me at 36hrs on the clock. Now I know what I need to do to fix it.

You have given the most straightforward and uncomplicated explanation of all that I have listened to yet. Having to replace my steering on my D140 and I found a drive belt that's cracked and ready to go at any second. Fixing the steering was bad enough but since I have it all taken out I am now going to replace the drive belt myself. Thank you very much! Now, can you fix the fact that no one carries the parts for all this stuff in a small town? Waiting 2 days for everything from Amazon is gonna make this take forever

Hey man....That place looks familiar!! I'm changing one for a friend today! Appreciate the guidance my brother! Hope yall are all well!

That lift is the BOMB💪🏽

Not correct method for my application, but I like your style.

I got a chain fall that's a great idea! I did notice my drive belt was loose on my J D d140 2014 year model looks identical too the one in the video. So my drive belt lasted 8 years that's pretty good in my book. Gotta do gas lines on it but that's easy peasy.

One of our best customers is T Bone but he happens to be a butcher by trade and a mower flipper on the side. Keep em coming buddy, hail stones have been shipped to cool you down in SC.

Thanks to your video I think I have enough confidence too change mine! Thank you!! Did the belt get alot tighter?

Good video

Great video

How's she goin'? Well changing the main belt is pretty simple, once to take half the mower a part eh!!!. How crazy is that to have to take the steering shaft out to replace the belt. I guess maybe they don't wear out that often. Thanks for the nice step-by-step. And a nice repair too!!! Take care!!!

Couple of FYI's. You need a small pipe wrench to hold the engine shift while you brake the bolt lose on the clutch. And watch when you drop the clutch down that the small little grommet in the clutch housing doesn't drop out. Other than those two FYI the job goes as explained in the video.

I don’t know how I missed this when I binge watched all your videos. Another great one. Do you have any shirts, hats or stickers for sale?

Thanks T bone

I have got to get me a lift like that,and I will fix me a weedeater holder too

Great video as it all applies to my JD 160. I hate that guard pin at the rear for the drive belt. I've been usign ATV/MOTO jack to raise the front or the back a bit just to have access to maintain my drive belt. Is there any concerns with the fuel tank or any of the engine oil in raising it as you do? Id love to raise mine that much she didn't want any spilling or issues with the fluids.

is there oil to be changed in the rear ...trans/diff? not sure what it is

What was you checking on the blades after putting the new ones on?

I cannot get the guide to turn more than about 1/4". I have the E140 if that matters, but it looks the same. Any advice?

HELP!!! In your video, @6:38, you just snatched the engine drive pulley right off. Mine is STUCK. I've tried a puller, pushing on the reinstalled bolt while pulling on the top of the pulley. I've even applied some heat, ie. heat gun, and a little gentle mechanical persuasion via a small hammer. No joy in Mudville. Any further suggestions?

I do not have a winch, but I saw a video of a man who turned the mower on to its left side to work on replacing the belt. Do you recommend this?

Never understood why they did that design either. First time I changed one I had a fit! Those sweet balls will rip Havock 💪🏽

Thank you. Mine won't move, new belt seems loose.... Doesn't engage when pedals depressed, kind of excited to see if something is jamming the brake. 700+hours on the clock, it's quite conceivable. 🤔

I think with this video did for me was talked me into buying an electric lift. 😂 my L130 sat under a tarp for three years because we moved the woods and didn’t have any sun so no grass. Lol I probably should’ve trashed it but I pulled the carburetor apart cleaned everything but a new fuel pump replace some of the fuel lines and get the motor running in it is always run great and I replace the front spindles and I’ve got steering gears to replace but now my PTO clutch is barely turning and isn’t working so I got a pull that off there and I’m sure I’ll have to replace that and it’s 18 years old so I guess I’ll do the belt and pulleys well I’m in there then three idler pulleys on the deck or seized up so I’m replacing those and bought new blades and spindles off of an eBay kit with everything to rebuild the deck. I replaced my spindles before and they’re still spinning and after that and the steering gears the drive belt the deck rebuild spindles cleaning out the carpet and fuel pump and even two new seat springs it’s pretty much a new motor, the transmission was replaced about six years ago. Lol The videos have been very helpful but from this one I think having the lift in my garage would be the most helpful. Lol. Do you have to drain gas or oil to do that for the turn mower on its side? And on those old 16x6.5x8 Tires on a 2004 L1 30, can I just stick and innertube in there on those wheels or do I need to replace the tire. They’re pretty expensive now and one leaks fast the other leaks slow. What do you find best to fix those or do you have to replace the whole tire?

I have the same exact riding lawnmower what sizes I know a 19mm and 15 mm what size in the pin? What are are some other sizes what would I need thanks

Tbone helps out people who have problems he is the man 👨

I bought a used John Deere D140. It stops moving when I start up the smallest incline. I've replaced the drive belt and I'm still having that problem. Could it be the spring attached to the idler?

How do you loosen the nut on the PTO pulley without it moving?

The one I'm working on doesn't have the pin on the transmission. The hole is there, but doesn't appear to have any threads in it. It's a John Deere la145.

Which part that needs hydrolic oil

What is the secret to getting the bolt to break free under the clutch/PTO. I try to turn the bolt and the whole thing turns?

Ol fluffy strikes again. Lol

What replacement belts do you use that are not the overpriced JD belts?

First Woo-hoo... those dog gone sweet gum balls I hate them.

step 1487....lol

Absolutely awful. "Take your wrench here" never says the size 😂

Own two John Deere mowers both transmissions died before the belt wore out.only a thousand to replace .over priced pieces of shit . Barrysayit
