Thanks for watching

For the majority of people, it’ll be easier to have the deck removed from the mower to change out the pulley, but if you’re able to do it with it in place then by all means, there’s no reason not to

@MedicMark I have a D105 and my belt also rubs on one of the plastic belt guards...has slightly worn the guard where it rubs as a matter of fact. But it does not interfere with the performance of the mower and, after 5 years it has no viable effects on the belt itself (The fact that the belt is 5 years old and hasn't been replaced shows that the "Rubbing" is no damaging the belt) Anyway, I hope that this helps alleviate any concerns you may have about the rubbing? My advice would be to simply monitor the belt for any deterioration. Cheers, Doons

Mine has done the same since new. Design flaw

@@DIYManiacJohnP Yes it looks like it. By the way John....you have a new subscriber! I think I can confidently approach maintenance on my D105 with the splendid range of tutorial vids you have mate! Cheers, Doons

Thanks so much!!!!!

Those pulleys can be tough to pull off. It really comes down the pure grunt force. Or you can rent an automotive puller.

@@DIYManiacJohnP OK thanks. I'll give it another go.

@@DIYManiacJohnP Thanks for this entire video. Had a case where the belt had managed to free itself from that pulley. The nut didn't want to give, nor the pulley itself. Wound up having to pull the entire assembly off of the deck, clamp it in a vise and Unga Bunga the heck out of it. What should have been a 5 minute job turned into a 4 hour ordeal. On an unrelated note, I need to do some shoulder workouts. I'm really feeling it.

I am sorry i do not. I tried but never found it

35 lb ft

Found a way. Spray wd 40 in the middle and spin it to try to get it in there a bit, then just wack it a few times with a rubber mallet not too hard though on thr top, then wavk the bottom. Do that for a few cycles and it popped right off

@@kytsunman8592what if you dont have a rubber mallet

Came here for the same reason Mines freaking welded on there lol

It most definitely can if the proper tension is not maintained, the belt will be allowed to slide off

Did you ever find it ?

In theory anything could be fixed with enough money you just have to ask yourself if it’s worth it. I would at least call a couple local metal working shops to see what they say.

Exactly why im here. Were you able to figure out how

The belt that is made for the 42” deck

by the way is there a way to bent the pulley guard closer to the pulley my belt kept coming off on the engage pulley it doesn't look close enough and the belt keep jumping off... thanks BJ
