Some ideas please on a safe way to relieve the spring tension to remove the belt. I have had a bad experience on another mower trying to remove the spring. Messed up a finger pretty bad. When I removed the belt on the RCK60 yesterday to drain the gear box I just forced the belt over the farthest pulley. Of course now I will need to get it back on! If one could safely remove/replace the tensioner spring that to me would be the preferred method.
One other thing. The 60B mowing deck is too large to slide out between the wheels. Also the deck height adjustment bolt hits the frame. Once you have detached the deck from the tractor, start the tractor and use the bucket to lift the fronts wheels about 6" off the ground then roll the deck under the frame then lower the tractor back down and follow the procedure to reattach the deck.
