Thanks so much for your advice. Was very easy. Not many others have posted on this same mower- belt replacement. From what I can see most have no idea how to do this. Some look like they are taking the mower half apart. Again thank you

Is it supposed to look that loose after the belt is installed ?

@JLPicard440 2 ай бұрын

If the bar that engages the blades is disengaged yes it will be loose.

I have a TB30. I starts perfectly fine but when engaging forward or reverse it won’t move. It happened when I was hauling a fairly heavy load on a tow behind trailer downhill. The brakes locked up and there was now movement from then on. The brakes don’t seem to be locked up at this point. Any idea would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Oh. Also on 4-5 gear it makes a screeching sound but still won’t move. Thanks again

Yikes! That always makes you feel warm and fuzzy when something like that happens. If you're able to push the mower around by hand then the brakes aren't locked up. There are probably only 3 possibilities that I can think of right off the bat. 1. There is a belt broken (IF I remember right this one has 2 belts and you can remove the plate from under the muffler to get a look at them). 2. The pulley that goes into the transmission could be stripped out. 3. The transmission could be broken. As long as there is tension on the belts (That disqualifies problem #1) then it should be working as long as 2 and 3 are good. If the belts are good, I would take off the one from around the top of the transmission and spin it by hand and see if the wheels are turning.

I have a cub cadet cc30h , and every time I disengage the blade ; the belt comes out from behind the keeper and off the pulley ! I have to get off the mower , take off the keeper , place the belt where it goes , and replace the keeper ! Why do you think it won't stay in place ?

@JLPicard440 4 ай бұрын

Yikes! No that's no good... Most of those decks have a brake so that when you disengage it the blades will stop pretty quickly. If the brake isn't working and the deck is just spinning for 10 seconds after being disengaged that could cause the belt to come off.. It's really hard to say without me being able to see it in front of me..

Even after replacing the blade mine does not seem to cut grass well at all. Is there a clutch that I should be looking at in the deck or is it possible the belt is just slipping?

@JLPicard440 5 ай бұрын

HI, no this one doesn't have an electric PTO. When the engine is shut off, engage the blade and then grab hold of it to see if it seems loose. The deck should make a certain sound when the blade is running a good speed. You should be able to hear it if its slowing down..

@waynebarney4351 4 ай бұрын

I think the blade stops pretty quick ! It looks to me that the idler pulley sits at upward angle ! I've tried to make it level but not sure how !

@JLPicard440 4 ай бұрын

Oh ok... Does it seem like something is bent?

Nothing is bent , the spring just allows it to move upward !

@@p00ner there is a little metal arm that keeps the mower deck from dropping down to much. It broke. I welded it back together and now everything works great

I have the same mower and bought the exact belt and it will not fit. Not even close. Its like the belt is an inch short.

@JLPicard440 4 ай бұрын

HI, I usually recommend to check the model number of your exact mower and confirm what the part number is for your application. IF you did that and it's still wrong then the only possibilities are the belt is routed wrong, or they sent you the wrong belt.
