Before making a video make sure you know exactly what your doing first a little w-d forty might help loosen them bolts and breaking bar wouldn't hurt none either and have someone eles in charge of holding phone camera while you work and explain what your doing etc just saying

[@DIYRAYMOND]

@freebird, yea maybe 🤔, learn as I go. I used a breaker bar, well I had my daughter hold the bar at the top of the motor while I loosened the pulley nut. Not sure if that was in this video or not. I work nights so most of my work is done when no1 is home. Unless I wait till the weekend.

This video is no help at all

[@philliphall5198]

It’s not very hard after your first time doing it 😊

[@DIYRAYMOND]

@philliphall5198, yea that's true. The more stuff breaks the more we get to learn.

I have the same mower it won’t mow up a hill what size belt is that I will try to replace the drive belt I have the same mower

[@DIYRAYMOND]

@Voice for the voiceless Truth, this is the belt that I bought. # 5L700K B67K Size 5/8x70. This goes from the front pulley to the back pulley. And the little belt I'm not sure what size that is. I didn't replace that....yet. I got another video coming where I replaced both deck belt and drive belt. Hope this helps you.

[@voiceforthevoicelesstruth5480]

Thankyou I’ll pick up the 70 inch today and see how it goes. Thanks!

[@voiceforthevoicelesstruth5480]

It worked!! I flipped mine on it’s side and bent them front ears out to except the 5/8 belt but still hold it in place! Was easier then taking that pulley off and then on the rear I used a screw driver to push the belt passed the rear ear on the pulley while rotating the pulley at the same time only took me 10 minutes if that helps you next time! Take care man thanks for the help!!

[@jameseppinger459]

show how you put the belt on a backup on all them po

[@beauwebber8900]

What size belt did you use?

[@DIYRAYMOND]

@Beau Webber, the belt that goes from the motor pulley to the back I used a 5/8 x 70... The Correct size IS 1/2 x 70. That 5x8 I used was a lil to thick and I had to get another belt. P.s Some of my videos will show you what to do AND what not to do...lol.. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

[@billyray6913]

How did you get the belt past the little tabs?

[@DIYRAYMOND]

@Billy Ray, you have to loosen the pulley nut. To do that you need to have either a 2nd person or find a way to lock the top of the motor but from spinning. I had my daughter hold the motor but with a breaker bar. And I was underneath. That was definitely a task. It'd be much easier with an impact wrench. I have to go back and put a new belt on. The 1 I put on was ⅝ needs to be ½. Ended up shredding the belt.
