First here is how I managed to pull back the spring in order to load the belt without having to disassemble anything. It was completely effortless and i pulled the spring way past it's regular resting point due to having a short belt. Hope this helps someone. 20200927_104251.jpg I would highly recommend some eye/hand protection and care not to break the grease fitting. I also sprayed some paint on the pivot point afterwards to protect from rust.

Now a question

I built this front PTO mower for my B7500 kubota tractor some time ago. https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums...belly-mower-run-3.html?highlight=#post5777851
The deck is identified on the sticker as "Ameriquip Mahindra Emax25M" I could not find it anywhere with this name. Its 60" wide and looks like the MAHMX60 by looking at pictures online. I'm happy to report that I got great results after mowing all summer but I caught a pretty thick branch on one of the pulleys the other day and the belt severed. I followed this thread https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/mahindra-owning-operating/316531-max-25-belt.html to find a replacement. They all suggested that the MAHMX60 deck needs a length of 134". I also measured my broken one (not very carefully) and it looks to be about 135". I bought one of the suggested belts and it's too short. Does anyone have an idea which deck this is or maybe a manual for the Ameriquip Emax25M 60" deck. I know the replacement belt looks like it fits ok in the picture but I think it's way too tight and would like to get the right size eventually
Thank you
