Another retiree thanks you for your excellent Z245 belt replacement video. I especially appreciated your tip to unloosen the left blade drive belt in order to route around the other pulleys and drives. Then it's pretty easy to pull the left blade drive back on.

I usually figure this stuff out on the fly so thank you for saving me a couple hours of head scratchin'. Nice job.

This was an extremely helpful video. I was able to get the new belt installed and mower back in service in less than 15 minutes.

Wow. This was very detailed and easy to follow. My local John Deere dealer charges me $200 to do this! I am retired and on a budget so you are my hero of the week. Thanks, again for a great video!

Thanks for the vid. The idler-lever arm has a square hole for a 3/8" breaker bar to make pulling the arm easier.

cheers mate, one thing do you set the blades at a particular turn or does it not matter where they are in relation to one and other ?
@Markgcr Жыл бұрын
No it doesn't matter as they will slip and slide a bit during use anyway.

How did you release the spring at start?
@castandcultivate235 жыл бұрын
3/8 ratchet or breaker bar. Put in the idler pulley arm where the square notch is, and pull the arm back to release tension off the spring.
