I just did the LA105 belt, which does NOT have that transmission belt guide. Now I'm working on the D110 and YIKES! I just merrily blundered into that guide, OOPS! Lunch time! Yes sir, thank you for the advice. Best wishes, North Central Florida

[@MikeJones-rk1un]

I put on a shorter belt, 88 inch. Works fine now but changing belts is an SOB on this. Everything must be removed, engine pulley guides, steering column, idler pulleys, with the rear (transmission) pulley being the worst with a stud that can barely be reached even with the tractor lifted up. Reply

[@douglaswhitfield7093]

Thanks for the tutorial. This video makes me more confident about replacing the transmission drive belt. I like how your presentation is methodical from removal to installation. Thanks again.

I sure do appreciate your time on making this video for us all. You make it look (easy peezy) to change out the Drive Belt. I was telling my wife that I need to get this done on our 20 year old John Deere. Being young at 70 yrs old I don't want to wait until I'm too old and cannot do it.

[@bobmedland5910]

Greetings from Great Britain and many thanks for such a helpful video. I've just changed the belts on my JD X110. Getting the drive shaft/pulley off without an impact driver just wasn't going to happen so here's an alternative and maybe easier method: (1) remove the belt from the midway pulleys; (2) draw the steering shaft upwards to free the belt; (3) remove the plate under engine that holds the guide pins; (4) remove belt from the upper (small) drive pulley under engine; (5) remove that pesky guide pin from above the transmission; (6) you then have enough slack to remove the belt carefully over the fan and off the transmission pulley; and finally (7) remove from the drive shaft. Bingo!

[@robertlee4809]

Clamp a set of vice grips onto the engine pulley. Use an 18" pull handle and save all those extra steps you just listed. I've been a small engine mechanic for almost 40 years. We HATE doing extra steps when it's not needed. My customer's wallets like it too😂😂 hope this helps you

[@robertlee4809]

Removing that belt keeper plate is WAY more time consuming than a vise grip on the engine shaft pulley...trust me..I have done these belts on soooo many different models and makes of mowers in the last couple decades. Good luck my friend across the big pond!❤

[@ldc8530]

This guy is fast and efficient and does it all with one hand! His instructions come fast so pay attention! This is one of the best instructional videos I've ever seen...plus you get a free life lesson! THANKS!!

[@cmottepatriot]

Thanks so much for your detailed instructions, my 21 year old JD L110 just gave up the Ghost on the drive belt. At first I thought it might be the tranny gone bad, smelt like burnt rubber when it went. So, I pulled up your site on YTube and saw your video and decided what the heck. Orderd new belt and pulleys and rented a Impact Driver from Home Depot for $17.00 for four hours and that was well worth it to get the nuts off. Saw another video that was posted about tilting your tractor on it's left side if you don't have a lift or jacks. I tilted mine about 45 degrees and leaned it up against my utility trailer and that gave me great access to the underside and belt. No gas or oil leaked by tilting the tractor over. Thanks again Brad !!

I started this job but hit a dead end and had to stop. Now that I see exactly what I need to do I'll go back at it. Thanks! This really helped ALOT!

[@dakuwan]

Great video! Thanks! Quick tip to anyone attempting this.. The most challenging part is the rear end pulley by the transmission. Rather than using a wrench to remove the guide post (or using an allen key), if you have snap ring pliers, you can remove the transmission fan, which allows you to lift the pulley to add/remove the belt. This worked out for me, since I had to replace my belt and fan at the same time.

[@jacquesmorrise8488]

Truly awesome video. After watching it and another one you did on the D140, I changed the belt on my D130. I did not have an impact wrench, but after trying to break the nuts loose with a hammer and a wrench, without success, I bought one. Absolutely the way to go. Setting the parking brake is a super tech tip. Thanks for that! I discovered that, if the fan is in a good position, a 1/4” hex wrench will fit between the blades into the belt guide for the transmission pulley, as you noted. It was difficult to fit into the bolt, due to dirt, but once it was in there, turning it went a lot quicker. I made one sophomoric mistake, and I’ll mention it to save others the problem. I did not notice that the new belt went outside one of the engine pulley guides when I slid the pulley back on. After starting the engine and releasing the brake, I heard a grinding noise. It was the belt being shredded by the guide. I caught it fast enough that the belt was not destroyed, but I will probably replace it again at the end of this season.

I watch a lot of videos when ever I have to work on something, even when I have done it before. This was well done, and I really like when they tell you exactly what tools and socket sizes you need. My eyes are not as good as they use to be, so it is a lot better when I can get the tools ready ahead of time.

[@jimfuquay7116]

Really well done. I was unsure if I had a loose belt or a failing trans. Now that I see yours, clearly my belt is too loose. It looks as loose without the brake on as yours looks with the brake on. And great tip on raising the front. Many thanks.

Great video just replaced my drive belt on my 155c tractor in less than 1hr after watching your video.

[@tracdfar]

Excellent video. Clear and concise. BTW, the 6mm alan key was easy enough when reaching in over the fan from behind the tranny. It's really cramped any way you go. There's a hole for a screwdriver in the center of steering gear plate to hold it still while you break loose the 19mm nut. There's a tool that uses the two holes in the crankshaft pulley to hold it while you break loose the 5/8 nut. Without it or an impact wrench, it's a pain.

[@JohnsonsSmallEngines]

I’m glad it was helpful!

[@paulattanasio3061]

If you read my comment that I just posted you will see that I wanted to torque down that Steering nut and Crankshaft pulley but could figure out a way. Now that you mentioned the holes ( that I didn't even take notice of) I will try that. Do you have a picture or a link to that tool you are talking about for the Crankshaft Pulley?

You're awesome...I literally saved myself several hours of work...I can normally tackle most mechanical jobs but it always serves one best to see what KZbin has to offer in the way of hints or the simple " best practice"... you rocked. I started to attempt using the Allen wrench but it was as awkward if not more so than the 15 mm wrench... and unfortunately being an older guy it took me twice as long to get it removed... but your entire video from start to finish could not be done any better.

I like the way he placed a White mark on the steering wheel gear to know that you will have proper alignment when putting back the steering gear in place. he made this change much easier for me in the future. I only wish I had KZbin decades ago. To the guy who made this thanks!

[@awboat]

I have an electric hoist in my garage that use to remove the topper on my truck, lift motors out of the MGs and to work under my mower. I had my friend weld a loop of rebar to the front bumper of the mower to make it easier to attach the hoist.

[@Wakeupandsniffthecoffee]

Thanks! I was changing the steering gears and noticed the belt was cracked. Managed to get the belt off everything except the transmission. That's when I went to KZbin and found your video. Doesn't look fun, but at least I know it's doable

[@JohnsonsSmallEngines]

Either a wrench or if you look at some of the comments, someone suggested you can get to the top of the guide with a allen driver, not sure what size it is and if you can get a socket allen driver it will be easier. I just put the machines up in the sir and use my 15mm wrench which works for me. Good luck, you got this;) Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@Wakeupandsniffthecoffee]

@@JohnsonsSmallEngines got it done. John Deere engineers could have done something to make that part easier, I'm sure. I started out doing the drive gear and did the belt. The drive gear I got in looked almost the same, but it had less teeth and restricted the steering on the left. No way to correct it and part was supposed to be for all D100 series. Have to put the original back. Lucky it wasn't chewed up, just the gear on the steering wheel shaft was. I'm playing with adding a thin washer to the gear to take up some slop in it. I'm surprised they designed it to have so much play.

Way quicker than a open end. Ran into an issue with mine. It's a LA145 with electric clutch PTO. Clutch came off fine but couldn't get the drive pulley off the engine. Ended up unbolting the engine to lift it up a few inches to get the old belt out and new one in.

[@jdreed99]

Great video, super helpful! I’m so thankful people like you take the time to fill in the gaps the manufacturer leaves. (My JD owners manual doesn’t even mention this belt.) About that pesky guide on top of the transmission, I was having no joy coming from the front like you show. I found there’s a couple of little slots in the steel plate at the rear of the mower that I could look through and see the guide. I could reach around through the wheel well and get to it. Worked great for me so others might want to try it.

As far as a way to remove big crank pulley, I happened to have a little piece of "mechanics wire" (airline cable like) only 1/8" thick, 22" long, with the corresponding tiny 1/8" thick cable clamps with tiny 7mm nuts, run it through 1 of the 2 holes in the belt pulley on big crankshaft part and around the sturdy deck belt bracket guards for the deck belt, put on tiny cable clamp, and using breaker bar bust loose the 5/8" nut holding big pulley part on crank. This is on a E130 mower which looks the same as this mower. Good deal on keeping video to the point, helpful, and not beating your gums with useless yak like a lot of youtube vids! Git r done!

Good instructions. My L110 has what seems like a better arrangement for the guide at the transmission pulley. The fan is under the pulley instead of over it, and the guides are two tabs (like at the engine pulley) coming down from a piece of sheet metal that straddles the two rails of the frame. Very easy to remove.

Thanks for the video. I just changed my drive belt, took about an hour to 90mins. Didn’t keep track but wasnt long. Unlike you i have modified my car hoist so I can drive the mower on and lift up either my mower/quad etc and get right underneath them to make work and maintenance easier.. plus I can raise it up and down to the right height when working on the side.. I made a couple of goofs, I threaded the belt through the 2 pulleys and bolted them up and then tried to get the belt over the back pulley.. then had to take the pulleys off again.. I also didn’t worry about the steering, just did what I had to do underneath then took the steering wheel off and aligned it later as it wasnt right to start off with.. Thanks for the video..

Nice video. As far as removing the drive pulley bolt without an impact wrench, remove one of the spark plugs, get a piece of 1/4 inch x 1.5 foot long rope, insert it into the spark plug hole leaving about 6 inches remaining outside the engine. As you rotate the engine from the top, the cylinder will run into the rope and provide the resistance to use a socket on the driver pulley bolt allowing you to remove it. Repeat when tightening the bolt, remove the rope, replace and tighten your spark plug.

[@JohnsonsSmallEngines]

Very good tip! Thank you

This is something I will probably need to do in the near future on my D130, this should help me a lot, thanks!

Great video! Very clear. Nice tips and tricks on how to get the belt replaced. Best part is hanging the tractor from its front wheels! Thanks again! I'm tackling this job tomorrow!

Just completed the Belt Change. Note: Put a mark on the upper PTO Pulley Keyway as well as the PTO Clutch Keyway --- easier to line up when you are on your back. Also, the worst part of the entire change-out was the Transmission Pulley Guide Post. Horrible access! I did find out that if you used a 5/8" Tubing Wrench --- things go much easier. Reach around the rear of the transmission to start the Guide Post by hand, turn a few times until you can't then use the Tubing Wrench. This video was awesome as it guided me to completing this "put-off" task of changing out this transmission belt.

[@JohnsonsSmallEngines]

I’m glad all is good. Thank you for sharing and the tips!

[@joebauer5855]

Hey there. I do have a question: I am not sure if I have the Electric Clutch aligned correctly. I have a 2019 E180 mower. I noticed when putting the clutch back on that my Electrical Connector was not directly in front of the mower. I did notice that there is an L-Arm that is bolted to the left side of the Frame. At the end of this arm is a 90 degree tab pointing downward. Does this go in the slot of the clutch to keep it from turning? If this is the case, my Electrical connector is near the right front tire and seem to put the electrical wires under a bit of strain. Does this make sense?

[@joebauer5855]

I think I just figured it out. (I have a computer in my workshop so its easy to give updates.) I found a slotted spot at the 10am position of the clutch with the connector being at the 12pm position. At the 2pm position is a slot that is open. I put my L Arm in the 10am (closed) slot and it keeps the clutch at the correct orientation -- with the connector being at 12pm. Now the wiring harness is slack and looks normal.

[@aarontimm9957]

Loved the video and the idea for machine orientation. I did similar with my engine puller. But i got lucky in that the keeper on my transmission is accessed by a small bolt on a guard attached to the frame rail. It took about 30 seconds to remove.

[@RG-wy1ol]

Sir no disrespect but I just noticed you did this job one handed and made this look very easy for the DIY thanks 🙏🏽 for making this video 👍🏽👍🏽

[@bobbyvee8941]

I performed this task today. Thank you for the guidance. I did discover that the transmission belt guide was more easily re-installed by reaching up behind the transmission fan. Also, I used a good old fashioned pipe wrench to hold the engine shaft to remove that long bolt. To any potential DIY'ers, this guy stated clearly that he had already loosened all these bolts, therefore facilitating a 10 minute video. BE aware, this is NOT a 10 minute job. Breaking loose the bolts for the first time is challenging. This whole project took me over two hours. If You're not a seasoned DIY'er, you might not want to take this on.

Never would have got this done without your video especially that back guide pin. Thanks so much!

Great informative video, I would use grease on the shaft rather than never sees neversieze,it can end up going scaly and not the best for removal, outstanding video

Thanks Brad, Your video was really helpful - well explained and realistic. I watched your video, did the the belt replacement, and everything went perfectly. It also gave me an excuse to buy myself and impact wrench. Cheers, Grant

Hi Grant, I’m glad this was helpful and I hope you get more use out of your new impact gun. In a good way. I love my electric impact.

[@michaelwarren6902]

Thanks for the great video. I found that if you pop out the plastic cup holder on the right fender, you can see that annoying belt guard much better. Easier to place it back into it's hole.
