nice! after cleaning the caked on grass and dirt every year I prepped all the rust like you did, then I painted it with graphite paint. nothing sticks to it now.
Dude how in the heck did you get the pulley off that iron shaft?Did you heat the plastic up or pried it up or what? in your video 8:15 up sped by that part of the video,I couldn't get mine off😮,I pried and pulled up it wouldn't bulge,so how did you get the bottom part of the old pulley off? Your help is muchly appreciated,Thanks dude
Great video!! What are the initial driving symtoms before the transmission pulley fails? I have over 200hrs on my JD130 lawn mower. I just replaced the main drive belt. I have noticed there is less and less power while going forward or in reverse. When I raise my foot off the gas pedal it seems to regain some power but not much it then gets slower and slower. Would the transmission pulley be a likely culprit?
@richardw4132 mine just failed at 201 hrs. That little screw broke or fell out and the metal cap disappeared in my field. When you say "less power", do you mean less speed? The short belt around that pulley can wear out and cause less top speed. But try this: Take a blow gun and try to clean every bit of grass off the top of the trans. From all angles. It builds up under that pulley and in the linkage. When my top speed slows down, that always helps.
So Im in the process of replacing mine, I notice on the new set there is a hex shaft, when the two pieces are put together, the upper does not spin, they lock together as and spin as one piece. This might be correct, if it is what is the point of having a bearing on the shaft?
Hey man I'm in the process of doing this right now and need help is there anyway possible I can call you? If you have the time or if you can help me answer a couple questions on here I would appreciate it
Hi there and thanks for watching. The OEM belt number is GX20072 or an alternative belt would be GY20570. They can be found at Lowes here is the link www.lowes.com/pd/John-Deere-42-in-Deck-Drive-Belt-for-Riding-Mower-Tractors/1000594523?cm_mmc=shp-_-c-_-prd-_-sol-_-google-_-lia-_-146-_-moweraccessories-_-1000594523-_-0&placeholder=null&ds_rl=1286981&gclid=Cj0KCQjwpf2IBhDkARIsAGVo0D3KAodfmA6fKGirMBDOIokqKQDrA1QAQOKQHNT91OXpm0b6aWwUv2QaAsk_EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds Also the specs on the correct size belt are 1/2" x 103.875".
Fact is every 100/200 hours expect to replace it, that’s what I see happening in our shop Just cheap crap Green doesn’t mean Good anymore folks Buy from a dealer is smart 😊
What the heck kind of a world are we living in when you take your equipment to a repair shop and they say, ehh, that things not worth fixing.... this country has gone to pot 😢 I took my engine to a local shop for a simple repair and he kept it for a month no call nothing, I told him to just keep it 😅
Ive seen probably 30 videos on this and this one was the only one that was helpful. Thank you
Glad it helped!
Great help, defined my problem exactly. The process steps and kit part number are very helpful. Thank you.
A lifetime of knowledge, makes it look easy 😎
Way to go! Great work 👏🏼

thanks enjoyable video and i learned how j d is repaired
what a great job congratulations 👏 👍 thanks for the video well explained video
Perfect. Thank you!
Thanks buddy buddy buddy,didnt think of that.
How did you remove the bottom part of the variable speed pulley?
Well done and it’s as good as new now
I tryed the zip tie trick and works great, just scratch up hands and arm a tad
No big deal and hour and half done
Very nice, helpful info.

Excellent video. Thanks. Subscribed.
Great video. About to tackle this project as well
Good luck!
This is awesome for D 105
I’m confused to as the how the washer and the screw attach to the top of the pulley?
Good stuff

Wow totally awesome I enjoyed that! As a girl I’m staying away from D105 though!
Right on!
Nice Job! I wished that I work as fast as up do :D
Yea but I’m 72 and took 1 1/2 hours to complete it
@philliphall5198 glad to hear that! I am 65 and about to do mine today.😂
Why won't my D105 go into high gear? I replaced the pulley but not the belt. Sadly, the existing pulley looked fine.
Best video!
How long did this repair last without it coming apart again?
Average is 150 hours
Awesome job💪
Thank you.
Can you show me how to take out the bottom pully.
I would have loved too but I sold the mower. If it wasn't for that I would make a video for you.
I had trouble taking out the bottom pulley too. After I pulled the release bar the back and placed the tractor in neutral, it came out right away.
I'm having problem with my belt my pulleys are good the belt is brand new and it just pops off

What is the belt size

Just cheap crap
Green doesn’t mean Good anymore folks
Buy from a dealer is smart 😊
Mine failed at 163 hours.
Mine just blew the spring cap off at 201 hours. Found a kit with the pulley, spring, cap & screw on Amazon for $26.
Remove all the inside cover on brging and you’ll save time and money, plus down time during busy
Season

Don’t buy any brand with the plastic trans period 😊😊😊😊
Most shops charge for 5/6 hours labor 😢
