Replacing Drive Belt on Zero Turn Mower! DIY.

- Опубликовано: 29 авг 2024
- I've had this mower for several years now and this is the second time the drive belt needed replace. The first time I had some guy try and tell me it was something major and that the hydro stat was out. If anyone tells you that please check your drive belt! Much easier and cheaper fix if it's a drive belt and you can do it yourself. Who knows, some of these asshats will tell you it's the hydro stat, charge you a shit load and just change the drive belt. beware of scams! Anyways here is how to change the drive belt. These links are for parts for a rzt 50" cub cadet.

Just a little tip. If you take your belt off and go to an auto parts store, a new guy will grab down this slide rule looking thing and make up a part number that fits. The old guy in the store will hit it with a tape measure and get you the exact belt.
I was in tractor supply this morning for this project and couldn’t find it by the part number so I looked up the pn, got the 1/2 X 57 and picked up a blue belt for $20.
I expect this mower will last several seasons with decent care. ruclips.net/user/postUgkx1VWTrayKBdCKAjzAcZ_Eg4dhHTae3LkN also recommend Also, I ran across the problem with it not starting the 2nd time I used it. There is a safety switch which is pushed in by the chute or mulching piece being attached to the deck. I took the cover off and it wouldn't start. Put it back on, no problem. It takes only a minute with 2 easily accessible wingnuts and no tools. This mower starts up first crank each time and it is a joy to use. It also mows in reverse by putting the key to the reverse area after starting and pushing in the triangular button. It will stay in reverse mode until you turn it off. All in all, for my homeowner needs, I really like this mower-and at 70 bucks a cut here in Miami, it's already more than 1/3 paid for itself in a month.
Happy it helped!
Thank you only video I found that actually showed you taking the clutch off
Man, you just saved me so much time & frustration! I tried a ratchet with no luck... Watched your video, Put the impact on it & the bolt came right out. Thank you sir!
These are pretty easy and fast to install, just check pulleys for small rocks stuck in the grove
Thank you for all your research I was wondering how I was going to do it after watching your video it seems pretty simple I’ll just have to try to find a belt thank you very much you did a great job thumbs up brother!
My 50" Cub Cadet drive belt went out this Spring. Fortunately my dealer had the belt but as always you pay dearly for the part. Haven't put in on yet, thanks for this video and all the tips.
If changing the belt out doesn't fix your problem it might be the hydro fluid needs changed. I just hit 333 hours on mine and just did my first one. it's moving around better now!! :)
Thanks man , pulled me through it .
I've had to replace mine twice. Never had to remove the clutch, you just use a screwdriver to bend the metal stopper away enough to slide the belt off, then bend the stopper back into place. No unhooking the electrical clip, no air tools. Super simple. Also a tip to replace the spring, hook a bit of aircraft cable through the little hole in the frame to the end of the spring, then use vise grips to pull the wire and hook the spring on its mount. Kudos to SilentKnightSaga for this tip. Here's the link to the video: ruclips.net/video/FrC3xAttEno/видео.html
Thank u I looked for a few hours and couldn’t find the belt size for my mower
I had the same issue. Order two that were wrong size before i found the one i linked! I even got one from tractor supply where i had gotten the mower and it didnt fit. Wth... lol
Thanks brother from Waco TX 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
No problem 👍
Thank you bro 😅 you helped me alot
How do you adjust the tensioner pully cuz now mine won't start after replacing and I'm being told the belt is too tight
I don't think its adjusted. It's just applies tention. If its too tight the belt is too small. This belt was hard for me to get the right size. I put the one i found in the link. (If same mower)

Oh yeah the lady in walker gets up 😅
We use that as a seat. My mom has several and the older ones get left around for seats 🤣
Thanks your video was very useful
Glad it was helpful!
Wish I'd of never bought a cub cadet. Very problematic
They all are until you get into the $10k range and up. Residential ones dont hold up.
Is this the same process for a stand up version of this mower?
My clutch didn’t come down like yours did, do I have to pry it down? To come off?
sorry, i'm just seeing this. it's been a week so i'm sure you figured it out by now, their might be a slot for it to slide off in. twist it left and right and see if it moves and will come down.
That SlumLord Life thank you I will try that
Is your dog a corgi golden retriever mix?
Long hair dachshund.
@7:12 whats wrong with it not turning?????
what size is that socket to take that bolt out?
Just measure it or try it with a regular wrench and see which size fits.
Here is 5/8
Have you managed to correct all the tenant damage on the properties? Also will you be finishing the meth-house before the weather gets real cold?
I having some issues that I'm trying to work out! haha The meth house I don't have funds for and my sister letting people get behind on rents made it worse. When I purchased the meth house I had 10 grand saved up for it and then spent in on this house and shop for down payment and been having problems saving since! :( lol I just had the people in one of our apartments evicted and it needs remodeled too so it's staying empty. Debating on scraping the meth house even though i was looking forward to doing it and doing the apartment that came empty. Right now I can't do too much with anything that needs money!
I'll be deciding sometime soon on if I'm going to tear the meth house down or not since i'm sure the city will start complaining. I'm now thinking about tearing it down and in a few years moving a mfh there. It will end up being cheaper too.
These things rarely go to plan... Hopefully you can get some of them earning again very soon and build from there. Good luck. Is Philippines now over and done with or do you plan to go back?
Are your tenants not paying rent due to covid?
thanks for nothing. gzz. we needed to see how you put the belt on
@@Dwelly70 i tried!
Is that bolt reverse threads? My impact won't budge it.
I dont think it was, try both ways... just in case.
It unscrews counter clockwise, I put a 58 inch belt on mine that I got at Lowe's
Well, too bad you made this video in the dark
Can't you just remove the stop bracket??
As I just discovered, the bolts are in the bracket for show. It’s welded on.
I had to stop watching due to the possibility of the floor jack giving out and your head getting crushed. You my friend should not be making how to youtube videos your going to get someone killed! Good luck!!
🤣 Put your helmet on bro!!
Really, that's ur take thanks man very helpful
I wish mine was a belt. I can't turn right lol
Check for a leaking seal. If the fluid is low in the hydro stat, fill it up. If it starts working that is the problem. If it stops again during mowing or next time you mow check again and that will tell if it has a leak. I ended up having the seal around the parking break caliper leaking. Took me awhile to figure it out.
Crazy enough. It was a drive belt making it slip on the right turn!
Now my steering is all kinds of off tracking wise. Can't find the sweet spot since this old toro has 19 darn controls for it.
6,
listened to a lot about the belt - waste of time.
The video is called replacing a drive belt? haha The video is barely 8 min total! For sure talked about that belt way too long... Must have been very detailed? Hopefully you figured out how to change it though! Thanks.
I watch videos like this with captions on and at 1.75 speed. Then slow it down at the points I need to pay attention. That way I don't miss a word he says, but get through the chit chat efficiently.
@@thatslumlordlife thanks for making this
Awful video
Thanks, glad i could help! 😜
Terrible video, can’t see anything
It's for sure hard to video working on it!
@@thatslumlordlife I agree, but you didn’t even show how to put the drive belt back on, that what I am looking for since I broke the belt on mine. I found one on another channel.
