My belt actually just slipped off…
Thank you for the video/tutorial.
This was a game changer!
My belt has popped off a few times, it's amazing how the belt can come out but there's no way it will go back in without following this procedure.
No belt routing diagram in the book. The only reason I watched this video was for the belt routing. Hard to take a photo when you’re changing the belt because it broke. 🤦🏼♂️
How many people replace a belt that’s not broken?
I just did the belt exchange tonight. Thank you for the helpful video and I did not find it difficult at all.
Great video thanks for posting, walked me through it step by step and worked great! I had my mower on a slight ramp which may have helped and i agree with some of the comments i don’t know how one person can reach the underneath bolt and unscrew at same time, i just unscrewed the top and was able to fit the
belt under. All the steps were well explained thank you!
Thank you! Very helpful and really adds value and confirmation that I made the right decision to purchase an Ariens zero-turn over other competitors. I have been super satisfied and have been able to maintain my own tractor. Having to cut 10 acres of hilly grasslands was a difficult decision. After a year and half with my zero-turn it has outperformed my expectations. Ariens now has a loyal and life-time buyer!
2 minutes into this and I want to sell it already!! What a pain in the rear! But thanks for the video.
It’s not that bad 😢
I have a 2020-ish 42" Ikon XD (3 deck blade) and the v-belt for it was 57" x 1/2" (oem# 07200718). This repair had to get done at 400 hours and in a customers lawn while raining. I eventually found my way to this video. This job will likely take much longer than you'd expect. Getting the blade belt off is probably the easiest part of this job. I also noticed the pulley height difference and my old belt had worn away half of one side before snapping as a result. I'm also not a fan of the plastic pulleys and fans on the hydros and feel they should replaced with metal and is extremely cheap. I will not buy from this brand again given the low quality choice of this.
Tips:
1. You'll want a wratcheting wrench (9/16 I believe) and need to back the pulley spring tensionor nut off fully to get the spring back on.
2. The clutch connector has a male tab on the outside that locks into a raised part on the back of the other connector you pry up with a flathead while pulling apart to disconnect.
3. The black strut bar is removed by, (a) two 5" long bolts through either side of the engine, (b) removing one nut right center of bar, (c) removing two ~1/4" bolts just left from center of bar (bracket that srops clutch from spinning)
Why would my factory belt break at just 20 hours of operation? I've checked all of the idler and blade pulley bearings, and they are all smooth and quiet.
Check the Aline ment of the pulleys
That’s what I find is the problem with them 😊😊😊
We just got ours today and the belt broke and spring came off what's in the first 30 minutes there's got to be something to this problem @@philliphall5198
G.B. Stein said " Silent gratitude isn't much good to anyone." With that - I say thank you sir!
Belt broke at .6hrs you don’t give the belt path in the owners manual and instead tell us to refer to the maintenance manual which you don’t give the customer
Not more than 8 hrs on the mower and I am replacing the belt. Simple drawing in the operators manual would be nice. Or maybe a better quality belt!!!!! Thinking I should have bought a Toro!!!
We're sorry you had that experience, Terry. Belt breaks that early are highly unusual, and though we can't be certain of the cause, an authorized Ariens dealer in your area would be able to help: www.ariens.com/en-us/dealer-locator
Also, you can find the belt routing diagram on either page 76 or 77 in the service manual for your unit: apache.ariens.com/manuals/05278830.PDF
I am having a hard time locating the correct size belt? What size belt did you replace it with? I bought my mower from the local Lowe’s and the belt the sold me was no where near big enough.
@@zackbetgeron151 Thanks for asking, Zack. Belt sizes vary from deck size to deck size, so if you reply with the 6-digit model number and 6-digit serial number for your unit, we'll share that part number and a link to its page on the Ariens online parts store.
@@AriensChannel I don't have a book with that many pages accept the book with all the other damn languages and the english is 35 pages long. Do a video with a replacement of a 60" deck belt.
Thank you so much for this very informative video! Got it back up and cutting!
You're very welcome, and we're glad to hear that!
Can you please tell me the measurement of the belt? I've been looking for the measure in stores and I can't find it! 143 inch by ½ inch thick?
Just did belt replacment this morning, I'd like to know how anyone did it alone on a flat surface holding the bottom of the deck while loosening the arm, luckily I have a lift and a second person around to hold it while I ratcheted it from the top.
With significant difficulty. With the deck at 4.5 I was able to get a socket wrench, 9/16 socket, and four inch extender to hold the under deck bolt in place with the handle pointing towards the rear most pulley, laying on my right side. Then with a 9/16 standard wrench I loosened the nut. I'm not saying it was easy, but it was the only tool that would fit.
Also, not sure if it's obvious, remove the plastic grass chute.
There's enough play in the arm to not even mess with it, just give it gentle wedge with a something blunt and slide the belt under, this is completely unnecessary
@jjkairos7317 there shouldn't be that much play without loosening the bolt, but that being said, it doesn't have to be loosened much. I wouldn't want to risk bending anything.
I’m a little pissed I’m installing a new deck belt on my 52” zero turn with less than 15 hours on it. One of those stupid little belt fingers that they mentioned popped out of the little slot they’re supposed to sit in and destroyed my belt. IMO it’s a crappy design because they barely sit into that little slot. Otherwise so far I really like the mower. Just kind of depressing watching the neighbor lady cutting her grass with my old mower (cub) I gave her when I bought this one.🙄
It appears that you place the idler spring back on the idler stud and then the spring seat on top of the spring and then tighten nut and washer and spring seat on top of the spring hook. I'm sure the spring had to be repositioned on the seat before tightening the idler nut.
As you tighten the nut, the spring seat will push itself behind the spring.
Can you please tell me the size of the belt on this machines?machine?. 143 inch by half ½ tick?
Who designed this?
Should have made bearings with grease fittings poor design but great more I use mine as a bush hog
What size socket is it?
When the mover is on, I am trying to turn PTO Blades on, and it's Clicking but won't work. What does it mean?
Thanks for the video, I would like to know what size and model it's for this machine ARIENS IKON XD 52, BECAUSE ITS DIFICULT for me to find the right deck belt and drive belt

Where do you find belt routing for ariens Ikon 60
So I'm not the only one looking for this. and you asked this a year ago.
So basically thinner. Inner. Thicker side out
I know it's probably a dumb question but I'm a single mom and my dad passed 2 years ago and don't really have anyone to help answer my questions 😢
Why would my belt break on the second use of a brand new mower? Is something wrong and is this covered by Ariens warranty?
Thanks for asking, Casey, and we're sorry about your experience. A broken belt, new or old, can be a symptom of a few potential, yet minor issues.
Though wear parts like belts aren't covered under warranty, we suggest contacting your nearest Ariens dealer for options. Our dealers are an extension of our team and will be able to diagnose and resolve the issue.
You can find an Ariens servicing dealer in your area with our dealer locator tool linked here: www.ariens.com/en-us/dealer-locator
@@AriensChannel it seems like a problem with your company if I have to replace a 55 dollar belt myself when I have only run the mower one time. It doesn’t even have three hours on the meter!!
@@HikeandgoSeek Hi, Casey. Again, we're very sorry for the frustration this has caused. Again, please understand that if after a physical inspection of the unit that your dealer determines the belt issue is a cause of a manufacturing defect, those corrections can be made by your dealer through a warranty claim.
You ain’t the only one 8 hours and broke
Well i got almost 50 hours on my belt. I guess i should be happy
Great video! Thank you for sharing!

great vid. how do you keep your mower so clean?
We grab it from the production line before it gets shipped to our dealer channel 😉
I knew it!
What a joke. There is no way you did this by yourself with the mower on a flat surface. Then a deep well socket won't even get to the lower belt. It required an extension and the mower being lifted to allow for the extension. Then for you to reach both the underneath bolt and the upper nut you must have monkey arms.
It was easy just like the video. I have the 52" like they did in the video. It went very smooth.
I did it just now with no problem. At all. You have no idea what you are talking about
I've had it up to here with this gd mower
Hi there, we're sorry you're not having a good experience with your mower, and we'd like to learn more about the issues you're having. If you like, we encourage you to send more details to marketing@ariensco.com so our RapidCare customer support team can get in touch with you.
@@AriensChannel i fixed it. just tired of constantly having to work on it
Make on for an Ikon 52” Jesus Christ. I can find everything but that model
Thank you.
Where do you find belt pattern for the 60 in deck
And why don't they have a video for replacing a broken deck belt on a 60" so one can see the rerouting pattern.
