By request! This is the process for replacing the drive and mower deck belt set on your MTD made Riding Mower. Many other makes and models use the same setup so good luck!

I fixed a problem with my 2001 MTD Yard Machine That some of your viewers might have had. I did a lot of repairs and when I was done with putting new belts on my mower would only move in high-speed. It took a lot of fixing and searching, but I found that the tensioner pulley Spring for the transmission belt was worn out. I doubled the Spring. Put more tension on the variable speed pulley and put it back together. And then I had low speed and up to high speeds. It worked great. I hope this helps someone because it took me a lot of searching the internet and no one mentioned this problem of weak spring.

i don't see anything i did differently, but now with the shifter in Neutral and variable drive in Park the lawnmower still moves forward or reverse depending on the last direction selected. While moving, the brake does not stop it. If i am in drive in put it in neutral and double pump the clutch/brake then it might go into park, but i have to double pump it. Tried replacing new cheap ebay belts with expensive MTD OEM belts and it didn't help. Any suggestions? I replaced the belts 7 years ago and didn't have any issues. This time it's kicked my butt.

Hmm. That is strange. I feel like you have the larger belt on the pullies the wrong way, but without photos it's hard to say.

@@farpointmowersandmorethanks for the reply, I did track it down to the brake/ clutch rod adjustment. Three rotations of it and it's working perfectly now.

My upper drive belt keeps popping off causing my accelerator pedal to not work I’m assuming it’s stretched how do you find the exact belt replacement? Do you search what the sidewall of your belt says with the numbers thanks!

@farpointmowersandmore Ай бұрын

If it's still visible the side of the belt should have the numbers. If not, look on the body of the mower under the seat, or on the underside of the hood. Most of the time it will have the actual model number or even the part numbers. Then, use eBay and Amazon to find a cheap replacement. Good luck!

Whats the belt called that engages the blades?

@farpointmowersandmore Ай бұрын

Deck belt! The drive belts are for the transmission and the deck belt runs the mower deck. Good luck!

@farpointmowersandmore thanks sir, fixed the belt. It's running good. But I noticed that sometimes when i turn it off and go to start it I turn the key over I get nothing. No sound. No turnover. Nothing. I move the gears around and hop off for about 5 mins. Then it starts up. Any idea on what this might be?

@@curtis8647 Sounds like the seat safety switch might be the issue. Maybe try sitting on it and getting up a few times to see if it will start.
