Is the Amazon belt holding up?
Saved me hundreds of dollars and weeks of waiting at the dealer! Removed the deck and was able to do it all without any jacks just by crawling under!
Thanks for the video. I have had to replace this belt 2x on my X320 with 820 hours on it. Over time the belt stretches/wears so that it comes out of the front V-pulley (a design flaw in my opinion). Here are my written instructions which align pretty well with this video:
- Tools: 10mm, 13mm, 17mm sockets; 15mm spanner wrench; shoe lace to remove traction spring.
- Steps: Remove mower deck, push mower onto ramps, apply brake, use shoe lace to unhook traction spring, remove V-idler pulley (13mm socket), loosen/remove belt guide (M151787) near pulley (10mm socket), remove spring locking pin (M146729) from rod (M155671), loosen/remove tie rods (2x) at front wheel spindle (17mm socket with 15mm spanner wrench), route new belt. Final belt placement over back and front pulleys requires it to go over front pulley spindle but not on pulley, then over transmission pulley/fan, then onto front pulley spindle.
Awesome!! Thanks for the information. I will pin you comment to the top so it will help other people. I should have included more detail. Thanks so much for helping others!!!
Thank you. You saved me much time after I went down a different worm hole! I messed with the clutch and it was so unnecessary.
Glad it helped!
Great job !
Unless I find a way to hoist the front of my tractor straight up and secure it there, I ain't replacing mine..that's for sure.
I hope you'll get yourself a couple of wooden blocks to place them under the tractor making sure it wasn't drop down on you..
Good luck and work safe!
Good tip and I will do that in the future!!
Tom, This is exactly what I needed to attempt the repair. I couldn't find anyone who would explain it in detail. Great job and thanks again.
glad it helped
Nice job. Planning on trying this myself. Thanks for the tips.
Good luck!
Push brake first and use parking brake to hold it. That makes quite a bit of slack in the belt that makes getting it on pulleys easy. Mine would come off the front pulls sometimes when I’d coast to a stop after turning off key. Put back on many times before I was smart enough to do the parking brake. 😊
Thanks brother. Helped me get my drive belt back on my X350.
No problem 👍
In addition to those helpful tips, I found in order to change the belt on my X320 I needed to do the following.
1. I had a U bracket that guided the belt that needed to be removed. Right side as you sit on the tractor.
2. You need to release the deck lift lock lever that was raised when the deck was removed in order to clear the belt from a flange. Once the belt is on don't forget to lock the lever in the up position so you can get the deck back on.
3. Have someone depress the brake pedal so you can easily slide the belt over the front top pulley.
thanks for the added information this will help others out and me too!!
Tom... 3. How to depress the Electric clutch with engine off??
@@bubblerings I think I can see where there could be a confusion and I edited my post. You push the brake pedal (I left out foot pedal) in order to slide the belt over the pulley. I also found that if no one is present, I pull the foot pedal forward and tie it off to the front axle which allows me to put the belt back on. Just make sure it's secure. You don't want to have your hand on the belt if it gives way or you will trap your hand between the belt and pulley. Have you cell phone by your side. 😁 I hope that helps. Sorry for the confusion.
@@Tom-pd9ms Only have a switch.. No clutch pedal.
Do any x320 mowers have a clutch pedal?
@@bubblerings Ah, I see where I created a confusion. What I'm calling the clutch pedal is actually the brake pedal. It performs the same function. By depressing the brake pedal, it disengages the drive belt from the pulley system which gives slack to the belt so that you can slide the belt onto the top pulley. Sorry for the confusion and I have made the change in my original post. Thank you for questioning that as it will make it much clearer for others.
On my 2005 x320 there is also a belt keeper next to the engine pulley that the belt has to go to the inside if it goes to the out side it starts to ware the belt.
Thanks from down under , this video helped me a lot, cheers mate.
you are welcome. thanks for watching
It looks like you forgot to set the parking brake. That will take the belt tensioner out of play and the belt will go on much easier. Hope that helps!
Thanks For Watching. and your feedback.
I saw a lot of trees today and they were all made of wood.
Good how to video. Thanks for the help!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video thanks.
Followed your directions today. Spot on with everything Thank You
Glad it helped!! Thanks for the update!!!
How long have you had your mower?
@@JustADad Just one season before this. I bought it used. New house three acres. First time I needed a rider.
@@thomascarlisle6212 You will love this mower it is a beast, the only hard thing is removing the deck can be kind of a pain.
@@JustADad once I figured out how to “Bulldog” the hooks, it was gravy. Thank You again.
Excellent video. Do you know if your procedure would apply to a John Deere X570? I am truly considering buying an X570 but am really leery of belt drive systems as my current 15 yr. old Cub Cadet is shaft drive. Thanks, RP.
Thanks For Watching. and your feedback.
Thank you for your vedeo!!!!!
Thanks for watching!
Great video thanks 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you for your helpful tips.
Made everything easy.
Just had to pull off the double pulley bracket
Glad it helped
Thank You, You Helped me Me So Much, Deck was the Hardest. Not sure I can get it back on. Can you Please Play Putting Deck Back On.
Thank You
Happy Easter
You are welcome
I love the use of plastic pulleys, belt ate right through the bigger pulley on my x360
i know right
Where does the spring attach to on the center pully arm?
Sorry I did not get back to you, I hope you were able to get it
How did you get it above the big round bar? I can’t figure it out! I get taking it off the steering rack but is there any other major bits to unbolt to get it in? I just can’t work out how it fits.
At 6.49 you’re nearly pointing to the bar I mean
sorry I did not reply right away, I have not worked on in in awhile.
Just A Dad Videos it’s ok I figured it out. Thanks
Thank you for this video, just turned my $150 mower purchase into a $500 profit.
nice
For the final step in removal I had to have the brake in the off position. It went well then. Be sure to get it in the guides properly. My model is an 2005 X300.
thanks for your kind words
John Deere appreciates our business so much that they screw us ROYAL on every single part we buy for maintenance or repairs! The incredible price GOUGING really wrecks the John Deere experience.
Thanks For Watching. and your feedback.
On my model 135, I have to disconnect the steering mechanism and pull the steering column up and out of the way to route the belt. I haven't started mine yet, my only option is to pay the dealer $250+ to do the job.
wow that seems high. That is a bummer that you have to pull the steering column. Thanks for watching and good luck.
how do you get the belt past the steering column?
sorry I did not reply right away, It has been awhile since I worked on it.
Does the belt goes inside the clutch pin rod?
yes inside the pin
I can’t figure out how to connect that last spring ?!?!? What’s it connect to?
Instead of taking the spring off just engage your brake and that will give you enough slack to replace your belt with out taking off the spring, I copied this from another comment below, its been awhile since I took it off I hope this helps.
@@JustADad Thanks. I figured it out! I'm so proud of myself. Its guys like you that post these self help videos that make it possible to fix these things on our own...THANKS!
@@fairwaysngreens1494 Awesome good job. Thanks again for your kind words and watching.
Please show where the spring attaches. You said the spring goes up here but don't show where it attaches. You show where the back attaches but not the front. Thank You. I have the X300, and can't figure where the front of the spring goes. It came off by itself so I'm not sure where it goes.
sorry I did not reply right away, I have not worked on it in a while.

Found after struggling a bit and viewing a couple more vids that if you take the PTO clutch off, replacing the belt becomes much easier. With the PTO off, and the idlers/tensioners removed the belt slips off the front pulley easily and then you've loads of room to get it off the back. You do still have to pull the steering arms. Two clips retain the PTO electrical cable and then it plugs in up in the engine compartment. slip the cable under to the clutch assy, undo that big bolt on the engine crank and be carefull. On newer mowers the clutch slips right off, on my 5 year old a night with penetrating oil and a little pry bar from the top got it moving, couldn't get it to budge by hand. With all the finagling to get the path clear, the PTO is actually the easiest part. Both those idler/tensioner pulleys are just over 30 bucks together, one had bad bearings and the other been replaced before. Also, you can take the rear cover off back by the fan with just a couple 8mm bolts. I have big hands so any extra room I can free up helps as well.
Your video got me to order the belt last year and my crazy schedual got me to this point where I could get to the belt swap. Had to use the snow blower twice this year, was really worried about getting back up the hill.
Thanks for your effort, just thought I'd help out if I could.
great advice thanks for sharing
I would recommend just taking the whole seat and rear fender assembly off too. Then U can pull the tank, rear fan and pulleys as well. Then walk it back on at the rear. Also loosen the two idlers. On the X tractors it’s actually pretty easy and gives a bunch more work space. There is usually a lot of debris that can be cleaned off the mechanicals while ur in there
Why are you replacing the drive belt
a hickory nut got into it and wore out a spot, it was slipping
@@JustADad oh okay interesting. Mine wore thru one of the plastic ‘plastic’ pulleys I replaced the pulleys but never the belt. I wondered if I should. I will once I change the trans oil. Have you ever done that ?
