What about the other belt

[@rogerthibeaux8044]

Thanks for the video. My zt60hd just quit moving. Your video helped me out. It was the tensioner spring. Take care, God Bless you and your family.

I absolutely can not get the belt on. Have it around all the pulleys except the tensioner. Pulling as tight as I can with the tensior fully slack it's a couple inches short. What's hilarious is it fits the toehre way but then the tensioner arm has nothing to hook to

[@RodeoRiverRanch]

The trick is, do use a wire, or a hook rod to catch the eye of the tension spring and pull it through the side of the frame seen at 7:37 in the video. Pulling the spring from the outside of the frame increase amount of leverage on your pull. You may need two people to achieve this objective one person to pull on the wire and other person to help guide the spring onto the anchor.

@@RodeoRiverRanch no, I mean I'm unable to get it around all the pulleys even with asuch slack as I can get. Starting to think they sold me the wrong belt. It shouldn't be as tight as humanly possible with no tension on it

[@RodeoRiverRanch]

@@some-replies Sounds like it may be the wrong belt, here is the part no. 0721150 for that belt.

[@some-replies]

@@RodeoRiverRanch that's the one I have! Damn, no clue what we're doing wrong

[@some-replies]

@@RodeoRiverRanch I have it around everything except the drive pulley at the rear. The belt barely reaches the front edge of the PTO pulley. How did you pull it over the whole thing?

[@miataman92]

How long of a belt did you use? The belt that the manual lists there is absolutely no way it's long enough. Thanks!!! I'm sweating and swearing at this point!!!

[@miataman92]

The ending is the too funny!!!

[@RodeoRiverRanch]

Cannot remember the length of the belt, but I do remember the belt seemed to be very short. The belt part number is 07211500

[@miataman92]

@@RodeoRiverRanch Hey, I got it fixed. It's a 1/2"x67" . Must have been an odd year, as the manual said it was a 56.625". Oh well. I hate belts. The easy ones never seem to break. The hard ones turn my words to that of a drunken sailor. There are several videos out here in youtube land that claim to show you how it's done. Yours was by far the best and most accurate. Thanks for sharing it.
