Sandwiched between the sketches is how to install a Craftsman drive belt with the center-shift feature. Very easy and NO TOOLS NEEDED! (Besides maybe to remove the battery) and There's Your Dinner!!

A note to the video editor (who I think might be Kerwin P. Slippers), in the introduction where Taryl sez, “Taryl Dactal here...” you should put a large gold sparkle in one of his “tooth’s”. It’d be SO HILARIOUS. GOOD job, these videos are the epitome of infotainment!!

[@kirbyanderson5704]

i would like to thank you guys for your videos. my 10 year old nephew is all into video games and your series has him tinkering with an old h30 Tecumseh engine.

[@highsiderider]

This is the best "how to video" on how to route the belt drive that you can actually see from underneath. Plus putting the tractor on the side is such a great tip. Thank you!!

[@stevelco]

I followed your directions and replaced that belt quick and slick. Brilliant! Thanks Taryl. Also, nice tip on using those front links as a handle.

[@Tom-vu7mc]

Thank you SO MUCH..with this video, knowing the layout with seeing the actual mower, was able to get the belt on without doing more than wriggling the belt around without even tipping the mower to the side..could not believe it worked. THANKS !!!!!!

[@jamespelkey8150]

Taryl, you saved me BIG time in every way. I was as lost as last years easter egg & in a very bad jam. I do not know when you posted this very appreciative how to video, but it is still helping us, today is 18 may 21. Again, thankyou.

[@5argetech56]

Thank you so much my brother. I never thought about tilting the mower to the side I was going to crawl underneath. Peace and long life.

[@DonnaBradleyYankiAndTheBrit]

I think on your next videos, it should be called THE ADVENTURES OF STUDLEY AND STUD MUFFIN just for me

[@GrizzlyGlen]

happy easter guys! great vid as always.

[@frederickvanpelt6393]

Great post, watching your posts I was able to replace the cam shaft, and replace the seals & gaskets & replace belts on my b&g 16 hp. Tipping the mower for belt access was brilliant. There's yur dinner!

[@jdsalinger73]

I just discovered this channel. Love it! Very entertaining. Excellent information too, by the way. Thanks for taking the time to make these and the extra time to do the "shorts".

[@LIMowersAndMore]

[@CTmoog]

Easter beer hunt! sounds like fun!

[@wysetech2000]

Excellent job as usual guys. Looking forward to the next one.

[@youtubefilmvisionary67]

I have a craftsman DYT 4000 itys a 2004 model ,recently jerking in gear with lot of noise...so I checked the tranaxle pulley,idler pulleys&electric clutch ,no issues that could see plus engine is new....do you think its the transaxle??...

[@bjspurgeon1]

Bout time you made another GREAT video Taryl. Love them, and had to use a couple of your HOW 2 videos. Thanks and keep em come n.

[@Tommyr]

THANK YOU for this video! Yesterday I tried to replace my ground drive belt and it drove me NUTS. Got it off but couldn't get the new one on. Your video did the trick! It's my first time replacing the belts and your video saved the day! I just got it on this morning finally!

[@kennethconnors7532]

you guys crush the news and politics and make life FUN and we learn something

[@brianbramblet8259]

I just found this channel last week subscribed can't stop watching my wife says I watch y'all more than tv love you guys and videos from Augusta Georgia happy easter

[@TarylFixesAll]

Brian Bramblet TarylVision Addict! Thanks for watching! New video every Sunday at 9 am central time. Now there's Yur dinner!!

[@scottysimm]

HAHAHAHAHA-funny! Thanks Taryl especially for teaching to add a chair to avoid laying tractor on its side; as a senior citizen, I have trouble up-righting it once I am finished.

[@Candoit2]

Thank you so much Taryl!!!! Great video!! saved me a lot of time!! Keep up the greatwork!!

[@johnsamuelson3234]

Happy Easter Boys!! I just placed an order with Pro Parts Direct great prices!!

[@beermyster5585]

you guys are hilarious. Great job dudes.

[@TarylFixesAll]

Thank you sir!

[@RobertDIY]

Awesome!

[@joelaplnski5394]

As always, not a disappointment, plus educational, there's your dinner

[@lowcard1]

Thanks for making this video. I wish I would have watched it first. I didn't know what the belt size was so the guy at the parts store sold me a 95 inch belt. I got it on and then tried it out and when I let out the clutch the belt started smoking. Thanks again also for showing the inside of the hood where the parts # are.

[@stevendowns5574]

Question I have a 2004 dgt 6000 drive belt slipping so I put a new one on and it has even more slack. Tensioner is maxed out. What should I do. It's not like the other craftsmans were the brake pedal moves the belt its spouse to have tension all the time

[@silvermanewj4366]

besides being funny I actually learned some more about my mower. Thanks, guys! God bless.

[@loniedavis1167]

Outstanding !

[@brianphilbrook5262]

Hey Taryl could you do a video on replacing the drive belt on a Troy Bilt Bronco riding mower? Happy Easter love your videos I laugh out loud every time lol

[@Dastardly84]

The older AYP mowers are the best. Easy to work on and reliable.

[@aliasfred]

Thanks Taryl. Got the exact same tractor for free. Got the motor running. Couldn't make it go. Tomorrow, it WILL go.

[@williewill4059]

You guys are funny as hell but straight to the point great video i got it thanks

[@MK156azzurro]

Thanks, great and funny video. I wonder if it’s necessary to drain the oil from the engine before tilting it to the side?

[@WizardMower]

Helped me alot (in the future) Thanks

[@426superbee4]

We need more video on Craftsman and Troy bilt

[@mikesenginesandadventures]

Another good video, Taryl. I think you forgot to get your money from the Scammer! Anyways, Happy Easter!

[@coolbluelights]

Ok so if you can't get the 95 1/2" belt go with a 96! I did not know that, i've always erred on the side of a slightly smaller belt. I work in a store that sells belts and they go by whole inches so i've always told people to round to the lower number. I'll remember this next time I recommend a belt to a customer. Thanks Taryl!

[@wickerman9569]

Great video guys. Those craftsman mowers are pretty simple to work on. Could y'all do a belt video on a cub cadet lt1045? Wanted to see if you have a good fix for the way the pulleys line up on the deck. Think they dropped the ball on that 1. Love the videos guys. Happy Easter

[@alexobregon4401]

Thank you that was an amazing tip, I was getting ready to take my whole tractor apart🤣

[@oljames1687]

..That Hamm's beer must have been laced with something. Blademan Drinks 2 cycle gas for breakfast. Great video yall...!!

[@flir67man84]

Nice video doing this belt change tomorrow

[@Livenow0666]

Thank you so much. If you could share more videos on this Craftsman model with the center gears it would be much appreciated.

[@zouhairsuleiman1453]

AWESOME 👍

[@bovinny]

Your the best man

[@kurtashenfelter7036]

Hey, I got a LT 1000 Craftsman Lawn tractor. I just replaced the Drive Belt, and it won't go into gear all the way. It kinda does, but doesn"t fully mesh with the Gears. It wont pull the Tractor Forward, or Reverse????

[@bobinmissouri]

my craftsman 90 year anniversary riding mower doesn't want to go up small hills what would cause that ?

[@lisahartsook]

I watched this and was like oh no then I went out side and put my drive belt on from the ground , I am small so just did what you said from the ground . Thank you for the simple info a lot .

[@easnile]

Hey Taryl. I have a t1200 craftsman 42 inch cut with the 420cc motor. I need to replace the primary drive belt and I have the replacement on but I can't seem to figure out the two middle pulleys. Should I have to remove one of those pulleys to get the routing right? Thanks

[@FordF-vh1mh]

We have a similar Craftsman and ours has a decal toward the rear of the deck that shows the belt routing. It might be hidden under grass etc, brush it off good and see if there is one there.

[@easnile]

64FordF100 ..Thanks for your advice. I had the routing diagram already but I just wasn't sure if or which middle pulley to remove. I have since completed the replacement. Thanks again for your reply to help.☺👍

[@calebgeddens8318]

can you please make a video with feral dactal? thanks for the great videos you guys are hilarious

[@Inisfad]

I just got a used Partner lawn tractor, and out of all your videos, it looks mostly like this Craftsman, except for the center drive, I'm hoping to find some vids for repairs for my type of tractor - I think I got scammed a bit, and will need to do some repairs....Hopefully you'll do more Craftsman vids???

[@victoryhammer4113]

NASA called, the space shuttle Broke down again, due to cheap o-rings. They need blade man and throttle boys help!

[@vincecombs7983]

Lol i enjoyed that video , funny im bout hammered when my belt came off ?? Maybe its a sign to help you kick ole scammers butt 😂😂

[@Scott-bf3yz]

another good video. how about a video on repairing Charging system on 60's model sears suburban. also any solutions on repairing cracked flywheel without replacing it. thanks keep up the good clips.

[@fluffymittens24]

Hey Blade Man I need Belt Man. Got a Craftsman/Lawn Machine walk behind edger, it has the off set belt. Got a new belt on it but it get so damn hot, starts smoking, so I figure the something amiss in edger land.

[@eddymumford4086]

I think sleeper's did a good job cleaning up the Rider for Toro...

[@johnp.schilens8276]

Hey Terrell I got a question 21 horse Briggs 21 horse Briggs got compression and compression and fuel will not

[@Live.Vibe.Lasers]

yah..the confusing part is if the belt goes through the twisted wire keeper near the flat idler. it does not. It will rub when disengaged but not when engaged. btw, my flat idler bearing failed @ 15 years and the belt cut its way through the 3" plastic pulley down to the bearing. i looked for metal ones to no avail. phoenix mfg may have one..part 31305075G if i measure correctly but you need to press/hammer the standoff out of the old one and into new one. not sure if bearing in metal one can be pressed out or is held captive by spot welded sheet metal pulley halves. if anybody tries it, please lmk.

[@vero2826]

would be cool that you guys restore this old teal sears suburban tractor

[@MrNetnut]

Taryl U The Man! Polish Them There Teeth;-))))

[@markhoughton4327]

Hey Tyrel do you have a 50" chute for an old 2003 GT5000 you would sell 😁?!?

[@harpoon_bakery162]

Is this a Craftsmen LT1000 ?

[@riceburner4747]

Mine has an idler pulley on tranny pulley. I had a hell of a time figuring how to ROUTE the belt. Belt was broken, maint book doesnt show it, & all utube show what U have. I think I figured it out. Now maybe I can earn MY teeth!!😂🤣

[@kodibassInsideoutboards]

Hey, Great Easter ,, key-ster... thanks kodi

[@juanyanira]

I put on the new belt, but now I have problems with the trip of the clutch pedal, because it is very short and very low. When the brake is applied, the belt will sound. I have problems with changing the transmission changes. What I can do?

[@phillipjacobs8065]

Mr Dactyl, I have the same problem with my Craftsman 42 (model 917.271530) I have tried two different after market belts and also a 1/2 x 95.5 belt and all three bind. What am I doing incorrectly? Thanks for all the great info and let us know when you will be in 'Lu uh vul' (Louisville, for non-Kentuckians) again, A devoted follower

[@Cliff_P]

Deer Taryl, what tipe of Transmisheeon does that have? i've always wanted to rebuild a trans-misheeon :-D

[@thestephen8]

l have a craftsman LT1000 and when l brake fast the belt comes off the gearbox pull any ideas how to fix it ?

[@harpoon_bakery162]

You need to get a new belt, yours is stretched out, which they commonly do. I haven't had to replace mine however, for 17 years. Not exactly sure but i think it's a 2003, but here are my numbers on the mower , someone might be able to translate how old it is. 917.270671 lawn mower model #. Markings on Briggs and Stratton: Model 31H777, TYPE 0297E1 , CODE 040126ZD

[@65bug519]

the belt on mine broke when I was using it to skid logs, after that I had to open a few cans of knowledge, after a few more (many more) I had no knowledge of what I was just doing

[@Goomer]

I have one like that, but older, Silver, it is hard to shift it.

[@mariogutierrez8085]

Is that blunt man and chronic?

[@wryanddry2266]

Batman never did coprophagy. And Bruce Wayne didn't talk about his deck.

[@clarkkent7821]

Why doesn't any body show how to replace the belt keeper on a Craftsman Riding lawnmower on the frame

[@chrismorgan6149]

"Ground drive belt, because your driving it on the ground"

[@jaybuilder8298]

🙀👏👏👏😂! DANG

[@marvinroberson9371]

I'd like to know how to put a drive belt on a GS 6500 Craftsman mower model number 917. What's that case 2 7-6 921, d, t I love it ain't interested in that that's a bunch of crap

[@1075twist]

Glug, glug, glug, glug,glug, glug!

[@jeffsullivan1593]

THANKS BLADMAN.LOL

[@tpilot61]

Great video but have the same tractor and no way I can get the belt off the transaxle pulley as the guide is too close to the pulley and there really is no give to the guide.

[@alexobregon4401]

I didn’t even need to flip it!

[@robertjohnsonsr6963]

I sure as hell don't get it! Taryl is usually pretty damn good but this one? I can't for the life of me make my belt work, the same belt came off of it and it won't shift. So i looked at the hood and also looked 2 others i have and all of them (1 different part num.) call for 95" belt! it sure as hell looks like what hes saying is right but then how in the hell did craftsman make the 95" work?

[@sweetwilliam49]

Hey Taryl, been sus cribbed awhile. Now I have a question so I need to tap your vast knowledge. Why is my mower leaving a high streak of grass between my center and right blade??? Do you got the technology to solve that mystery that had plagued mankind?

[@WellnessWizdom]

They don't make it this easy anymore. They don't want you to be able to repair your own mowers these days.

[@cornbobrimlove7892]

hahaha......He said "JERK OFF HIS DECK" ......

[@melven53]

You said use a 1/2 by 96 inch. Then you put on a 1/2 by 95.?. My 95 won’t let me shift . What do I use?

[@TarylFixesAll]

Around 6:30 Taryl explains the mower calls for a 1/2 x 95-1/2" belt. Taryl states to use a 96" and NOT a 95" belt because it needs that 1/2" or more (hence the 96" belt) to shift. And there's your dinner

[@melven53]

Thank you

[@chrisoliveira6941]

😂

[@andyk7217]

Wow that was an easy fix...now what did that Scammer do with all of that money out of the till?

[@TarylFixesAll]

Andy K I'm sure it didn't go far.... Never does....

[@2aminitials]

Scammer uses the money to buy those sweet suits he wears.

[@blackrain6ft5]

really, realy😂😂😂😂😂

[@fredkaminski6138]

That's not Easter candy!

[@eddymumford4086]

he used 6 tools to fix it 😁😁😁

[@Bobherry]

You forgot your money.

[@nehivo996]

Lol where is the money at

[@RommelEGH]

Nice vid but man are you a goof ball

[@grannywindu7]
