I have a JD Model 111. The motor is a 1983 11 horse according to the serial number. I am sure this is the original motor so this should be about the age of the mower.
The motion drive belt has shreaded. I have never replaced it but have replaced the deck belts in the past.
The owner/operator manual advises to contact your local JD dealer for replacement. [not happening]
This machine has a electric clutch that engages the belt for the deck. The motion/drive belt is on a pulley just above that on the shaft that drops down from the engine.
The belt then snakes it way towards the back of the mower to the transmission that has a side mounted fan and pulley that the belt goes around.
It appears the mower was built around the belt and pulleys.
Can anyone lead me to step by step directions for replacement.
thanks randy
