[@matthewcampbell8071]

Did a great job! I took my belts off and couldn’t get them on

[@relieddie1]

Omg this video walked me through the whole thing ty bro😎👍🏻

[@dennishowren5484]

This video helped me a lot. Especially the tip about connecting the old drive belt with the new one before you pulled the old one out. That was smooth. Any suggestions on helping with the new upper belt that goes around the top of the dual pulley? I can't get it to go on the large pulley as it's too thick. I've tried taking the nut/bolt off the pulley but it won't budge. Thanks.

Very good my friend! I bought a used toro recycler I think it is and belt broke. Paid a guy $40 to come out and put a new one on.(that makes me feel bad since I am or career was as a tool maker and had a swimmping pool installation co. later on) I do have some back problems due to working to hard too much I guess and 3 bulged discs 1 lamenectomy. My main issue from the jump was no guide and no help It broke again but a couple tricks you used may make it possible for me to do it. I could not get the damn thing off the ground to even look , saw you used a couple 4x4's to prop it up so If I can get some one to just place the boards and help lift should be ok. Another was it is a SMALL rider mower (24 in cut I think) and could not find any type of manual or video till I ran across you. Thank You!!!. I rent and landlords all over me about lawn so I will give it a spin tomorrow.

The long drive belt is toro item # 112-0301 almost the same size as the mtd 954-0467 . The mtd belt is 1/2inch longer and not as wide on the inside. The mower will be slower with the mtd belt.

I am disabled and do not have much money, ssdi now but get regular S.S. in about 6 months so ty for saving me some coffee money my friend.

[@bobbykincannon1613]

Only difference is I have a single blade, not dual. And I went to wipe the water off the tag to get model # and it took ink and all. So been a question if I even had the correct belt.

How did u remove the deck belt from the rear?

[@altlandf]

I am trying to find out how to remove a mower deck on a toro 13 32 hxl and everytime I try to search for this it crashes my Samsung phone. How do you remove the mower deck?

[@ColinWatters]

Anyone know how to replace the drive belt to rear wheels on a DH210 or DG220? Drive and brake rods go through the belt. Considering cutting them to get belt off/on and welding back together !
