I have been looking to see the trick for replacing this belt, but have come up empty.
This is '96 (I think)... MTD/Huskee 54 inch cut Supreme Garden Tractor. The MTD part number is 13AP625K730.
I have the new belt read to go on.... the deck is pulled out.
A few issues... the guides on the side of the drive pulley will not allow me to slip the new belt back on. They are not removeable, they are part of the 'deck' that the motor bolts to. Problem 1.
In order to get the belt onto the drive pully, I need to remove the deck pulley and also the clutch mechanism. But, in order to do that, I need to stop the motor from spinning to loosen the bolt on the shaft. But, there is no where to grab the crank and the drive deck pulley, clutch and drive pulley take up all the shaft. So, there is no where to grab.
Any hints or tricks on this?
