****NOTE**** Transmission drive belt part number; There is a serial number break for the transmission drive belt part number. The John Deere part M151277 is up to serial number 040000 and the John Deere part M144044 is serial number 040001 and after. You need to look at the serial number on the model sticker of your machine to make sure you get the correct belt.

Simple, concise and organized without a bunch of filler.... awesome video man... thx
Thank you and thanks for the kind words! I’m glad it was helpful. :)
Your knowledge and ability to convey that knowledge is impeccable. The camera person is spot on too :) Thanks for sharing
Thank you for the kind words and my camera person too!
this is where you need two hands , man dude you are awesome
Thank you for the kind words
Good job
Great video and best of all, no stupid music playing in the background!
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for your video. It was really helpful. I was able to replace the belt without removing the clutch. It wasn’t easy, but I was afraid to make a mistake with the wiring issues. I also only loosened the “vee” (brake?) pulley to get the old belt off and the new belt on. My X320 seemed to be missing the guide that is next to the brake pulley. I will check on that in the morning. I wasn’t able to find a spring puller, so I cut four or five inches of wire coat hanger, sharpened the end, bent it into a hook, and used vice grips to hold it. It worked fine. I would not have been able to complete the job without your video and one other that is on RUclips. Thanks a million!
You are an awesome man in everyway. Your video is clear and to the point. You are an outstanding mechanic, and not a bad videographer. Above all, your presentation is EXCELLENT! And you sound like a pretty nice guy. Thanks for taking the time to post this!
I’m glad it was helpful and thank you for the very kind comment. Please share my channel to help it grow. It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you watching!
You are a perfect match for making fiber clear, exceptionally worded instructional videos! My drive train belt broke on an X380, and there are some differences to your X320, but your close-up, amazingly focused video shots made this job far less painful than trying to find a John Deere parts image showing exactly where the belt travels...I never found a picture. Thank you very much!!
Thanks and my camera guy thanks you too for the kind words. I’m glad it was helpful.
Thank you very, very much for making this video. It showed me many things that saved me time trying to figure out.
At 12:08 you were lucky enough to squeeze the belt between that bar and the bracket. On my mower there is literally no way to do that. It simply is too small a space to fit that into. I had to figure out how to loosen that bar in order to get the belt through. That took awhile to do. Too bad JD doesn't try a little harder to engineer that space to be a little bigger.
I realize you are so used to being one-handed that it's pretty normal for you but it's amazing to watch all the techniques you've come up with to utilize your left "hand" to do the stuff you need to do.
Again, fantastic video. Thank you.
Hi Brian, I'm glad this was helpful and thank you for the kind words!
Wow! What a chore! I'm going to tackle this on my 2010 X324 soon. I've been putting it off for a year now (living on borrowed time!)
Hi Scott, on the positive side, you now know you can get the job done! Thank you for watching and commenting.
@@JohnsonsSmallEngines so job is now completed. I combined it with a fuel pickup replacement on the top side so the top was off too. There is SUPER easy access to the pulley/idler assembly from the top. There are 4 bolts that remove the bracket holding it on and you can take them off that way too. Still needs access underneath of course, but thought I'd share that bit of info.
Don’t know how anyone would dislike this video. A lot of detailed information and a job well done. Glad I clicked on this.👌had no idea there was a drive belt there. I learned something today and feel good about it.
I'm glad it help you and thank you for the kind words!!
Great video, you did not go off topic, and were straight to the point, great teacher, thank you for the great video to help others.
I hope it helped you and thank you for watching!
Thanks for the video. It really helped me finish the job I was kind of stuck half way through on. I like being able to clearly see each step of what you're doing.
Outstanding video you did a great job explaining the entire process.
I’m glad it was helpful and thank you for the kind comment!
perfect video presentation. Thank you for making it for us all, couldn’t ask for a better explanation
Very easy to follow, thank you so much for making this a simple job. Your abilities are very admirable, truly inspirational to others, thank you!
Thank you for the kind words:) I’m glad it was helpful.
Thank you sir. Thorough, complete, perfect. Empowered me to do something I did not want to do.
Exactly what I was looking for on my 2010 X320 with 675 hours on it. I was pulling my transaxle to clean, change fluid and internal filter when I discovered a very worn drive belt. Great tutorial 👌 already liked and subscribed. Hope to learn more from your future videos? Thanks so much!
Hi Tom, I’m glad this video was helpful. Thank you for the kind comment and for supporting my channel.
What a great video! Thank you. Going to try this on my X300. Other videos on this topic would have you taking off the steering. I hope you make more videos on all the things in your expertise.
I'm thinking I really need a hoist! Great video, thank you!
Hi Tim, I'm glad the video was helpful, thank you for commenting and subscribing :)
I have a 320 that's 8 yrs old and I've never had to replace a belt yet. But I know I will soon enough. I've worked on a lot of stuff and I don't really dread this belt replacement but I have to say that doing this with one hand is the most impressive thing I've seen on youtube in a long time.
Thank you. My channel is based on my logo, If I can do it, You can too! The x320 is a little challenging but you got this! when you need to do it.
Fantastic video! After 1.5 hours of use on my new X350 the machine won't go forward or backward and the spring for the brake assembly was laying on the ground. Your video was excellent in helping me identify the part and I hope the problem.
THANK YOU! I just got done replacing the idler pulleys on my X304 (same as the X320). What a pain in the butt, not at all "user friendly, especially the V one! After nearly 3 hrs doing that job, I just couldn't bring myself to do the drive belt. Thanks to your video, I feel confident I will get that job done with a minimal amount of frustration.
Very helpful video. Developed a problem on my X324 and thought it would be an easy fix. Not to be, and this has saved me a lot of time and frustration. Thank you.
Glad it helped :)
Great video. Thanks for the detail comments. I'm able to finish my X304 clutch replacement with confidence after the pulley dropped off and I didn't know which way was up.
I'm glad it helped you! Thank you for the kind comment.
Very helpful. You have saved me a lot of time and probably some blood. Great work by your camera operator also.
Thanks for the Video ! Got a drive belt to change on a 340 and without your video I would have been at it for a long time !!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world, great job, outstanding video. Saludos desde Aibonito, Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 USA🇺🇸.
Glad you enjoyed it! and thank you for watching!
I was thinking of doing this job but after seeing this I might call around for an est. You video was the best Ive seen
Excellent video! Very specific, which I greatly need… keep em’ coming. Thank you 🙏
Thanks, will do! please like and subscribe to help my channel grow :)
Already done brother
Great video! I was going to replace the drive belt on my neighbor's X330 but after seeing your video he is going to have to take it to John Deere! I'd never get it back correctly! Plus lose stuff! Even with pictures & videos! I can do the old mowers but there's way too much to remove & remember where it came from, even with pictures! I replaced the mower deck belt & blades on the 330 but the drive belt is above my pay grade! I have the means to put the mower vertical but I don't understand how you & other mechanics work on a machine w/o cleaning it first! Man! I power-wash 'em all, top & bottom first thing & let the sun dry them for a day or so! I would have lubed many points but you got the repair done 1st. class! But I'm retired & do gratis work & not under any schedule like a bonafide mechanic is! When I'm done is when it's ready to pick up! The video is clear & audio is precise! It's amazing how God has given you the talent to do your work with only 5 fingers! PTL!
Thank you for commenting. If we are servicing the machine , they get the cleaning but just like you said. If we did all the prep work to clean it before doing the job, the price on the repair would get higher and I’m about giving a good quality job and not crazy pricing. I really wanted to make the video so a little dirt happens ! LOL. Please give this a like, subscribe and tell your friends to help my channel grow. It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for watching:)
I found on my x350 the tension spring on the serpentine pulleys is why my drive belt falls off, I need to know how to attach it so that doesn't happen anymore. I'm getting ready to put it back on again and this is the fourth time in 172 hours since bought brand new.
Thanks for your video it really helped me the first time getting everything back in place but that tension spring is the culprit on my tractor.
Excellent step by step, life saver video. Thanks!

Thank you!! Great video
Why hasn't Deere hired you yet to do their video's ?? GREAT TUTORIAL....you must have teacher dna on your genes !
Thank you so much for the kind words! and thank you for watching.
Nice video! I have the X304 with four wheel steering and was wondering if it can be hoisted upright like you did with the 320? Also are there any issues with battery acid or engine oil leaking out when it’s hoisted up?
I have been lifting machines this way for over 25 years and have not had any issues with the battery or oil. I have lifted machines to high and found that fuel tank may leak if the gas tank is too high and had to be careful. Just be very careful how you lift the machine and if you do not feel safe doing it then do not. Thanks for watching:)
Thank you. I have been putting this job off because of how deep this goes. Your video is so complete that I'm ready to tackle it. I have a 2008 JD X300R. Do you know if the entire underside is exactly the same? Thank you again!
I’m not sure if they are the same but it will be close or the same. Let me know once you do the job!
What is the belt part number? I watched another video and the guy says M144044 is the belt number but John Deere parts website says M151277.
I purposely do not like to give out the part number because I do not want to be the bad guy when you order the incorrect belt. There is a serial number break The M151277 is up to serial number 040000 and the M144044 serial number 040001 and after. You need to look at the serial number on the model sticker of your machine to make sure you get the correct one.
I have a 05 john deere l118 and every time I release the brake the engine dies.
Sounds like a safety switch issue.

JD did a horrible job on this machine. You shouldn't have to dig this deep for a belt. Shame on them but great video.
Thank you! I hope it helped you get the job done!
Great video, thank you
