    Incredibly good tutorial. I've watched it several times. I'm a 75-year-old woman and it's a possibility that I'll need to be changing the belt myself. Thank you so much for your explicit instructions.

    Hey Brad,
    Just want to say thanks for that very informative video. You saved me a minimum of at least $250 by me doing it myself. Using the hook tool was a game changer. I had to go out and purchase it. Hook and pick set of 7 was $10 at Harbor Freight.
    On another note.
    Your an inspiration to people with disabilities.

      Hi Glen, I’m glad you were able to get this job done. I was lucky to be born that way so I did not know any other way. To get into a business that normally you need three hand s was not the smartest thing but managed ok through the years and I became a pretty decent teacher because I used the kids from our local tech school for years. RUclips is my way of making a little money and helping all of the DIYers out there as now at 55years young my right hand and arm are starry to fail me.

    I agree, great video, helped me to change the belt on my LT166. The LT166 has another very strong spring, more tension and more tight than the spring in your video (0:55) with the LT150. Even the LT155 doesn't have this spring. But I had a similar tool you used and was able to get both springs off with it. I don't mean the other spring (0:47) which comes off anyway when spring #1 is off. I had ordered all 3 pulleys which I replaced because I read one should do this. But the old pulleys were still fine, so I'm not sure if this was really necessary. Many thanks!

      I am halfway through doing this (I have belt removed) on a LT180 and there was one additional spring, for the mower deck lift bracket (the flat piece that goes vertically welded to the round bar) that I had to take off also. So that is 3 springs I had to pull, IIRC. Bracket is shown at 12:15 .

    I changed the belt and put it all back together. Started the mower up and THOUGH BELT MOVED THE MOWER WOULD NOT. The transmission lever rod was in the right position. If the belt is one inch too long, and I think it may be, is there anyway to tighten to adjust for this?

    • @JohnsonsSmallEngines
      @JohnsonsSmallEngines  Год назад

      There are no adjustments as it is tensioned by a spring. If your not using a John Deere belt? That is your problem. If you are using a John Deere belt? You did something wrong or purchased the incorrect belt.

    I didn't realize you could stand the tractor up like that. For some reason, it seems like every year either the deck belt or the drive belt goes in my LT133. I've tried several different brand every time including the John Deere belts and they just don't last. I have back problems and getting that dang black spring on and off is really painful when I do if from laying on the ground under the tractor. This method looks easier to me.

      @@JohnsonsSmallEngines I replaced the belt but unfortunately it just immediately burned up again. Everything moves except the pulley above the transmission. It doesn't matter whether it's reverse, neutral or forward, the pulley in the back won't budge more than 1/4 inch and stops completely. The wheels will turn forwards and back if I move them manually and I can hear the gears moving in the case, but the pulley doesn't budge. I'm not finding much information since the tractor is so old and the local service shops won't work on anything unless it was purchased from them. Any thoughts?
