    Never be ashamed at purchasing a shop repair manual , I have worked in a ton of the cone drives back in the late 90's early 2000's. the problem is they are 3 different types of cone drives and I had to go to the service manual to get my specs. I would recommend
    The transaxle tool kit and the shop manual for your particular mower. The best advice I can give is to be gentle with it.

    How do you change the deck belt on this years mower? I cannot find anything online that helps.

    • @LegendLength
      @LegendLength 6 месяцев назад

      Lift seat, remove spring (it's extremely heavy). Then get under and remove belt.
      You'll notice that the PTO clutch prevents you from removing the belt. Just take off the small metal bracket that holds the PTO in place. Also unclip the electrical cable.
      Again the spring is very heavy so be careful.

    Hey Medic. I have a 2006 Dixon Kodiak 50 ztr. When I try to put it in any of the lower 4 notches for the deck, it doesn't seem to mow very well. I have to be in the 5th notch to get results. My belts are newer, so I don't think that's an issue, I could be wrong. I thought maybe that bar in the front you were showing, but it's in place, folded back. Any thoughts? I also have a question on starting issues once you "fix" this ;) Thanks.

Also I need to adjust or maybe replace some parts on the cone drive setup do you have any experience with those? Any help will be much appreciated, it's such a great mower, I'd hate to have to get rid of it just because nobody knows how to fix it!

    Thanks for guidance but I'm trying to replace the same engine to mower belt on a mid-2000 Dixon SpeedZTR 42. There doesn't seem to be the same tension release when lowering the deck on mine as on this RAM50 ZTR. No latter with the deck lowered or raised (completely either way) that I can't feed the belt onto the engine pulley. I even tried calling your shop and was on hold for several minutes looking for some guidance. I actually had this mower in your shop quite a while back for some repair. I'm just trying to replace a bad/stretched belt and can't get enough slack to get it on. Thanks for any advice.

    How do I check the wheel pump oil level? On a Dixon ram 50 If there is such a thing on this mower. I believe someone I had to work on my mower deliberately did some things to it to tear it up. They delivered it home while I was gone. I checked the fluids and all the oil was drained from the motor and the gas was empty. I replaced that and I made a few rounds and now it won't move. It never made a noise but came to a complete hault.

    We have a ztr 311 mower. My husband drove it over a lip on the concrete to go over to the neighbors to mow and it kind of hit harder than expected. Ever since then it keeps throwing the belt. Just bought the mower used and haven't really owned it long enough to be familiar with it. Don't know what it could be, but as soon as you begin to mow the belt comes right off. Any advice on what we should check?
