There are literally dozens of videos showing how to replace all the other belts on my mower, but this is the first one I found that shows what I need. My Husqvarna appears to have the exact same transmission and belt. Thank you so much.

[@billsimpson604]

One reason they malfunction is grass, twigs, dirt, and mud getting caught in the mechanism on top of the transmission. If yours starts acting up, clean the top completely first. KZbin has a video on how to find out what is wrong with it, should it start malfunctioning.

I have a 2016 with the plastic transmission I mow about 2.5 acres every other week and I have not had a problem with the transmission I have big hills on my property and I weigh 300 lbs i am having to change that very drive belt today thank you for the video it is very helpful

[@wesleyrees2080]

Thanks for this video, doublewide6! I have had my Poulan Pro for almost 6 years and the drive just gave out. I don't have too many hills, but I do have lots of tree roots and soft yard to contend with. I will try to tackle this situation soon. Thanks for the guide to replacing the belt and hopefully that is what my problem is and I'm confident that I can get this done!

[@RealManSkills]

Haven't had to do that repair yet, but good to know that it's an easy fix. Thanks!

Great video Bob. I went to the website of general transmission and they have a video about this trans and they say the belt should never need to be replaced on the video. LOL Can't remember who it was but i think i have seen one video about these plastic transmissions it had a problem and the there was no serviceable parts inside it they had to throw it away and replace it thats all i know about them. Hope everyone is doing well. Have a great weekend. God Bless!!!

Great repair DW6, tight working conditions! 👍👍

[@zacyoho9235]

I've had a ariens with that trans for maybe 7 years. Bought it used. 4 years ago I blew out the axle seals and some grease towing a yard roller up a decent hill. Replaced and mowed on. Had .75 of an acre at the time. The last 4 years I've used to trim and mow wet spots on 10 acres of hilly open field. (sometimes entire yard). Now I've lost power up hills and I think this is why. Thanks.

You’re a dog gon’ lifesaver man. Been searching for days. I have the same problem, same mower

[@patriciamack6290]

Thank you. I followed your instructions and was able to fix my poulan pro myself.

[@philliphall5198]

What I’ve found several times, when they were told tractor has to have a new transmission is removed battery and box, vacuum all the grass out, then blow air under drive unit close to rear and remove 4 screws

[@tallinthesaddle1727]

I bought my Ariens (built by Husqvarna, same parts), A20AV46 (20 hp B&S motor 46 inch cut) in 2014. It has the same plastic tranny as yours (General Transmission RS800). I have an acre lot plus rental property that I mow and also a church property that I mow. It has lots of yards under it belt(s). I just today replaced the leaking axle seals, they started oozing grease two years ago. Sharpened the blades once, replaced once. Replaced the original air filter last week. Replaced the battery once. Still on the original belts and spark plugs. Original tires, added green slime. It's the best riding mower I've owned. Have owned four so far. Two MTD's, one Craftsman.

No one laughed here! Great video! Just the right balance, just enough of the right intel. Thanks for the video

[@markythunder]

Good video, the belt is Warranted by poulan pro for 10 years no joke it's in the paperwork. Those rs800 transmission parts are about $60 on eBay

[@Jim-ie6uf]

Great video, I haven’t seen one of them yet.

[@markrandall1456]

Nice job. If all battrys are over that pulley that should be a straightforward repair. Thanks.

[@rustyrepairs2565]

Thanks. Great info! Just finding the belt would have been a PIA.

[@alssmallengines]

Great fix Bob 👍 I personally haven't worked on one with the plastic trans. However I've heard the axle seals go bad in 3 or 4 years.

[@WardGuitarCabinets]

This is the best video ever!!! I thought I was gonna have to remove the damn body! Thank you so much!
