- A thorough HOW TO tutorial by Jeff's Little Engine Service on how to replace all 3 belts on a "YARD BUG" Riding Lawnmower. 2 drive belts, 1 deck belt replaced. MTD is the lawn mower manufacturer and it has a Briggs and Stratton engine. Symptoms of failing belts includes loss of speed/slipping and slow blade engagement.
This video was difficult to make due to the angle and having to film while fixing!

Thanks Jeff, your video saved me money and made me look good in front of my wife. I was clueless otherwise and now my lawn looks great too
Excellent!
Thx man, doing this one this week, belts in the mail. Great video jJeff, you really got your act together.
Thanks to this video I've just replaced the deck belt on my MTD DX70. Very useful info, particularly about where the belt keepers should go.
Thanks so much for posting this. I've been replacing the deck belt on my yard bug from the top. it had been tearing up belts, but watching this, i saw that the cover over the deck pulley has a guide under it. I saw the one guide on the engagement arm, and thought that was it. I was routing the pulley on the wrong side of the guide. I'd never noticed it before.
Thanks!!
Great Video.. guided me through replacing the belts on my White Yard bug. Biggest pain in the butt was getting the Engine pulley off, suggestion make sure to remove the old belts once belts are removed the pulley came off easy. Thanks again for the Video
thank you! good job!
What the size of belt need help?
It mowed that spot in Your driveway real nice.,,,,,,,,, Nice video, I can watch yours and do it Myself now.
thanks Jeff!This helped me get er done!
Excellent!
thanks much just replaced my belt your video helped me alot!
Sir, do you know where I can get a service manual for the ladybug mower? I need to adjust something in the pedal assembly to get the mower to go in reverse, I replaced the damaged cable, and with engine not running it will go into both fwd and rev meaning you cannot push the mower as its in gear ,however when running it occasionally will drive in rev, but most times it will not ,and when appw the Go pedal you can hear pullys turning but wont move in reverse. forward has no problems.
Liked and subscribed : Wheres the manual? Any more maintenance videos on this model?
I can't thank you enough for this video. Top fella thank you
what size belts?
Hi Jeff great video, can I tilt my yardbug on its side to replace the belts. If so does it matter which side. Thanks in advance
No, you can flood the engine with gas or oil doing that
How tight are the two belts on the variable speed pulley supposed to be when the mower is setting?
Can the box be taken out if I wanted to drop the grass ?
yes
Thanks for your video, it helped me a lot and all the tips given were useful but what a nightmare to remove the main poulie ... it took me ages but finally was able to change those two f%&/( belts :) will try to start it tomorrow ... fingers crossed!
Good job! You can do it!
@@JeffsLittleEngineService it started on first try !!!
Thanks for the video. Don't you know how to tell the diameter of the poly that activates the blade? Is the diameter of the cutting belt? Greetings from Portugal
Question, If you're replacing belts, why not just sawzall them off instead of removing every pulley? Then just remove 1 or 2 to get it back on?
sounds good give er a go
Great video. Is the main blade bolt reverse thread or standard? Thanks.
standard
I wish you were my repair man my shop could not fix this outing the delta on had to get rid of my bug😢
Jeff, do you have a how-to for Bug not moving fwd or reverse? I think it is the belt issue and accelerator pedal problem as well. Thanks in advance
check where the brake pads/disc are on the transmission. They get locked up sometimes and can usually be pryed loose.
Thank you sir!
hi I have same yard man lawn mower the forward gear was stuck last year and than come loose the gear stick now its stuck in gear whats solution where to look first please
lubricate where the the shift linkage attaches to the shaft on the transmission
What other mower has comp parts
What size is the front tire and where can I get one and a blade for mine?
hi I got a question what is the whole plastic thing side discharge called
Does the pulley off the engine that drives the Deck move up and down when you raise and lower the deck? It seems to not be even with the deck pulley on a high setting.
no the pulley should not move
I just picked up a Craftsman DRM 500 (same thing as a Yard Bug) and when I put it in gear and drive, there's a lot of smoke coming from underneath (must be a belt). Do you know why this would be happening? Could the belt just be worn, or maybe the guy routed it the wrong way? It moves, but smokes. It's not engine smoke. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
I would bet that the belt is not inside the "keepers" by the pulleys. Or a bad bearing somewhere..
so , no metric nuts on that thing ,everything is imperial ? gotta tackle this job tomorrow for a customer. thanks
Yes SAE, but it seems there is always one metric bolt/nut hiding somewhere!
@@JeffsLittleEngineService Thanks for the reply. I replaced all three belts and one of the shift cables...The customer sold the mower in a matter of hours after I fixed it ! Thanks again.
I know this is an old video, but do you know where on the mower the reverse switch is? mine locks into reverse but the switch isn't allowing it under power thanks
Its on the transmission. Two cables go from the lever to the transmission. Go to the transmission and see if it moves both ways. If it does you just need a knew cable. You can use just about any generic mower Z-cable.
to take the mower blade off yard bug you must turn the nut or bolt clockwise or counter-clockwise?
counterclockwise, lefty lucy
OK Thanks
is this the same layout and procedure for the MTD Sprinto?
ok- - thanks! and great video too!!
thanks friend!
Where do you get the belts for this?
I can't find a video anywhere on how to get to the carburetor on these things. It's crammed in the back with a body panel right up against it so you can't squeeze your hand in there.
very true, it sux. I had to take off the whole painted back piece, it was a pain in the butt!
Ok, at least I'm not missing some key detail to make things easier. I guess it's just tedious job then. Thanks for the quick reply, much appreciated.
Drain engine oil the put it on its side easy to get carb off then
very good thank you
Can anyone tell me why the idler pully had to be taken off? it looked to me like the belt just slips out of it. Sorry but I'm a 79 yr old woman who has to do her own repairs as I have no one to help me. The same for the other pullys..... can't the belts be slipped on and off without removing the pullys? It's my transmission pully which needs replacing, I think. I was mowing when suddenly the Bug would not go forward tho' the motor was running just fine. I looked behind me and saw a belt laying on the grass. Luckily I had ordered all of the replacement belts for the mower a couple of year ago, so I'm okay there. I just want to know the easiest way to replace the belts without taking everything off the mower. Is that possible?
sometimes you can slip the belt around the pulley without removing, sometimes not
I have a broken gear cable on my yard bug.Seems near impossible to take off transmission due to its inaccessibility- do you have to remove transmission, I hope not, is that the only way to do job.Any advice would be geatly appreciated.
i used a piece of bailing wire with a hook bent on the end to reach in from the back of the machine and pull the cable out of its position. where the cable disappears on you has 2 bolts you can remove to pull the cable bracket and open up a little space, long needle nose pliers might help get the new one guided in, i used my big hands and got lucky, i replaced both trans cables in 22 minutes having never done it before. BTW, both cables are the same part number, i recommend buying and changing both while youre in there and keep the good one you remove for a spare. Good luck.
remove left tire and plate more work less time frustration
people
what is the deck belt outside length?
What the drive belt number. I'm having one hell of a time finding it.
9540754
I was trying to see them belt numbers I'm going to replace my in shortly
You find the belt numbers? I need them as well
@@absolute357 I found them I don't recall the size any more which one are you looking for?
@@geogonzalez104 the belt that drives the blades
MTD brand 954-0754 is the blade belt number.
Enter that into eBay and you should have all kinds of selections but if you can't wait go down to your local hardware store and just look for a belt that is 5/8"x52 .
Hi just changed the belts again & used this video again. But now it's moving on its own when in gear, without pressing accelerator down. Thanks in advance to anyone that can help. Regards Darren
make sure it is the correct oem made MTD belt
Thank you so much. Ordered genuine ones now. £18 GBP each no good. Cheers guys
Genuine cost £49.98 GBP for 2
Belt numbers?
i need a carb any one know what i need has a yardman 8.5 motor
Go Ducks !
I chuckled at "this idler pulley (growl) here, seems to be in good shape". Generally a ball bearing making that kind of noise isn't in good shape.
