My question is: Does the GT2542 PTO belt require a service person to replace?

It's an absolute piece of cake to replace. 2 minutes, if that. Just make sure it's routed properly and the belt does NOT ride 'flat' side down into the two front idler sheaves. It's easy to neglect that little detail and is probably the #1 cause of
PTO belt failure on the 2K series machines. The "vee" shaped side of the belt has to ride in a "vee" shaped pulley/sheave.
