  • Mower deck belts fail but, I wasn't happy after paying $140 for a Kubota mower deck belt for my Kubota BX2360 garden tractor only to have it break in just 3 years. To be fair, the original lasted 9 years and that's really good! However, I decided to try some after-market belts at a fraction of the cost. In this video I show you how to install one of the after-market belts that was a half inch shorter in length. After some grunting and groaning (and cussing), I got it done. I'm curious to see how long this $37 belt lasts but, hey, the one I paid $140 for from Kubota only lasted 3 years so I'm very curious, lol! If it fails, I bought another one for $67 that's 120 inches long. It should be easier to install at the very least! Below you will find the links to the after-market belts I reference in this video.

    Thanks for putting this video up. Had I not seen it I probably would’ve taken off the gearbox completely. So instead this turned out being a 30-45 minute job. The hardest things were pulling back the tensioner spring onto the hook - it was tight with that new belt, and then getting the PTO shaft to mesh onto the teeth of the mower deck. It’s too cramped under there to. Use the “quick disconnect “ on the PTO coupling. I’m not sure if this was my original belt. I don’t recall my Dad or I changing it before. But if it was, this belt lasted maybe 16 years.

      You're welcome! Thanks for sharing. Yes, you are right. I've done it the way you're describing (pulling the tensioner spring and connecting to the hook) but, I think its easier to leave the tensioner spring attached and pull the belt over the pully. However, since the after market belt I used in this video was 1/2 inch shorter than oem belt, it made it a little more difficult! And , yes, connecting the PTO shaft can be a bear!

    my belt came off but first I notice the spring was off ! it wasn't cutting right and I chalked it off to wet grass but the belt was off in some fashion and the spring too, I wonder if a stick got inside the pulley/belt track ?

      Come to think of it, my spring was already off as well! My mower deck started making a noise and I could smell the rubber. By the time I disengaged it, the belt was broke and entangled in one of the pulleys. I had a heck of a time removing it (I removed it with the deck still attached to the mower). I pulled the deck out from under the tractor and, now that you bring it up, I recall wondering why the tensioner spring wasn't attached and assumed it might have happened while I was attempting to untangle the mess! It wouldn't surprise me at all if a stick did cause the issue! Thanks for sharing!

    Can you take one pully off put belt onn then replace the pully?

      I don’t think that’s necessary. I had some trouble getting this belt on because it was a little shorter than the Kubota brand.

      You need to get around that pulley under the gearbox. And to do that , that bracket needs to come off. It is totally surrounded otherwise.
