      I put on a shorter belt, 88 inch. Works fine now but changing belts is an SOB on this. Everything must be removed, engine pulley guides, steering column, idler pulleys, with the rear (transmission) pulley being the worst with a stud that can barely be reached even with the tractor lifted up.

    • @JohnsonsSmallEngines
      @JohnsonsSmallEngines  3 года назад +1

      You may have a stretched belt or one of the idler pulleys may be seized. I would suggest replacing the transmission belt and check to make sure your two transmission idler pulleys are spinning freely,. Replace if needed.

    Truly awesome video. After watching it and another one you did on the D140, I changed the belt on my D130. I did not have an impact wrench, but after trying to break the nuts loose with a hammer and a wrench, without success, I bought one. Absolutely the way to go.
    Setting the parking brake is a super tech tip. Thanks for that!
    I discovered that, if the fan is in a good position, a 1/4” hex wrench will fit between the blades into the belt guide for the transmission pulley, as you noted. It was difficult to fit into the bolt, due to dirt, but once it was in there, turning it went a lot quicker.
    I made one sophomoric mistake, and I’ll mention it to save others the problem. I did not notice that the new belt went outside one of the engine pulley guides when I slid the pulley back on. After starting the engine and releasing the brake, I heard a grinding noise. It was the belt being shredded by the guide. I caught it fast enough that the belt was not destroyed, but I will probably replace it again at the end of this season.

    My engine pulley was frozen solid to the shaft. There is an easy way to get this belt on without removing the pulley assembly (if yours is frozen on) There is a guard around the belt for the small pulley that has two bolts holding it on. Remove one bolt completely and loosen the other and rotate the guard out of the way. Now slip the new belt on the shaft between the two pulleys. Go to the transmission pulley and slide the new belt between two of the fan blades. The fan blades bend easy. Spin the fan and the belt will drop down to the pulley. Of course the belt guard will need to be removed on the transmission to do this! Install the belt on the transmission pulley, then the engine pulley, then the remaining two pulleys. Install the engine pulley guard.

    Excellent video. Clear and concise. BTW, the 6mm alan key was easy enough when reaching in over the fan from behind the tranny. It's really cramped any way you go. There's a hole for a screwdriver in the center of steering gear plate to hold it still while you break loose the 19mm nut. There's a tool that uses the two holes in the crankshaft pulley to hold it while you break loose the 5/8 nut. Without it or an impact wrench, it's a pain.

    Nice video. As far as removing the drive pulley bolt without an impact wrench, remove one of the spark plugs, get a piece of 1/4 inch x 1.5 foot long rope, insert it into the spark plug hole leaving about 6 inches remaining outside the engine. As you rotate the engine from the top, the cylinder will run into the rope and provide the resistance to use a socket on the driver pulley bolt allowing you to remove it. Repeat when tightening the bolt, remove the rope, replace and tighten your spark plug.

    The engineer at J.D. who designed this should be drawn and quartered and each of the pieces tarred and feathered for good measure. I have had mostly Craftsman tractors but finally went "Upscale" and got a J.D. The Craftsman, I could lay beside and change the drive belt in about 10 minutes with no special tools and not a lot of effort. For 99% of people this is "return to the dealer" project and I suspect that is the reason it' so difficult.

    Great video, super helpful! I’m so thankful people like you take the time to fill in the gaps the manufacturer leaves. (My JD owners manual doesn’t even mention this belt.) About that pesky guide on top of the transmission, I was having no joy coming from the front like you show. I found there’s a couple of little slots in the steel plate at the rear of the mower that I could look through and see the guide. I could reach around through the wheel well and get to it. Worked great for me so others might want to try it.

    Greetings from Great Britain and many thanks for such a helpful video. I've just changed the belts on my JD X110. Getting the drive shaft/pulley off without an impact driver just wasn't going to happen so here's an alternative and maybe easier method: (1) remove the belt from the midway pulleys; (2) draw the steering shaft upwards to free the belt; (3) remove the plate under engine that holds the guide pins; (4) remove belt from the upper (small) drive pulley under engine; (5) remove that pesky guide pin from above the transmission; (6) you then have enough slack to remove the belt carefully over the fan and off the transmission pulley; and finally (7) remove from the drive shaft. Bingo!

I got everything put back together and discovered the bushing that the steering column fits through fell off and got missed so I will have to take that apart again but no big deal. That guard in the back is a bear...1/4 turn at a time takes forever. Some say take the gas tank out to access it, but that is an even worse hassle!

      I don’t know the background information on the tractor, how many hours on it? Did you ever tow with it? If yes, how heavy of a load? Are there hills on the property? all of the above would reduce the life of the transmission. Why the machine will not move when you try and push it, sounds like the rod in the back is not pulled all the way out? Or the brake may be stuck in the on position? or loss of all transmission fluid locked it up?

    Will a bad belt cause the trans not to engage properly. Mine engages but you have to ease into it. You can't go ahead and put the pedal down do it will bog. Eventually it will get up to speed though

      Yes, and you may have a seized idler pulley also. Remove the mower deck, put the brake on and then go under machine and check to make sure you do not have any seized idler pulleys. Order parts needed including the transmission belt and replace.

    As far as a way to remove big crank pulley, I happened to have a little piece of "mechanics wire" (airline cable like) only 1/8" thick, 22" long, with the corresponding tiny 1/8" thick cable clamps with tiny 7mm nuts, run it through 1 of the 2 holes in the belt pulley on big crankshaft part and around the sturdy deck belt bracket guards for the deck belt, put on tiny cable clamp, and using breaker bar bust loose the 5/8" nut holding big pulley part on crank. This is on a E130 mower which looks the same as this mower.

    Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. It was a big help. Also thanks to the guy who mentioned you can use an allen wrench for the transmission belt guard. Way quicker than a open end. Ran into an issue with mine. It's a LA145 with electric clutch PTO. Clutch came off fine but couldn't get the drive pulley off the engine. Ended up unbolting the engine to lift it up a few inches to get the old belt out and new one in.

    I watch a lot of videos when ever I have to work on something, even when I have done it before. This was well done, and I really like when they tell you exactly what tools and socket sizes you need. My eyes are not as good as they use to be, so it is a lot better when I can get the tools ready ahead of time.

    What about using a pipe wrench to hold backup on that engine pulley? Do you think it would damage the pulley shaft? Also if your doing this by yourself and need a another person just use a ratchet strap from deck over the steering wheel to the other side of the deck. That will not only hold the steering wheel from backing out while re installing the steering gear but will also help keep it in line with the wheels. Just an idea! I love your tutorials, they help a non mechanic like me save money!👍

    • @JohnsonsSmallEngines

      Hi Kevin, I have had a few people ask that question and I’m pretty sure it will work as long as you can get the wrench up on the shaft. I haven’t tried it but I’m sure many have.

    Loved the video and the idea for machine orientation. I did similar with my engine puller. But i got lucky in that the keeper on my transmission is accessed by a small bolt on a guard attached to the frame rail. It took about 30 seconds to remove.

    Thanks for the video. I just changed my drive belt, took about an hour to 90mins. Didn’t keep track but wasnt long. Unlike you i have modified my car hoist so I can drive the mower on and lift up either my mower/quad etc and get right underneath them to make work and maintenance easier.. plus I can raise it up and down to the right height when working on the side..
    I made a couple of goofs, I threaded the belt through the 2 pulleys and bolted them up and then tried to get the belt over the back pulley.. then had to take the pulleys off again.. I also didn’t worry about the steering, just did what I had to do underneath then took the steering wheel off and aligned it later as it wasnt right to start off with..
    Thanks for the video..

    • @JohnsonsSmallEngines
      @JohnsonsSmallEngines  2 года назад +1

      Either a wrench or if you look at some of the comments, someone suggested you can get to the top of the guide with a allen driver, not sure what size it is and if you can get a socket allen driver it will be easier. I just put the machines up in the sir and use my 15mm wrench which works for me. Good luck, you got this;) Thank you for watching and commenting!

      @@JohnsonsSmallEngines got it done. John Deere engineers could have done something to make that part easier, I'm sure.
      I started out doing the drive gear and did the belt. The drive gear I got in looked almost the same, but it had less teeth and restricted the steering on the left. No way to correct it and part was supposed to be for all D100 series. Have to put the original back. Lucky it wasn't chewed up, just the gear on the steering wheel shaft was.
      I'm playing with adding a thin washer to the gear to take up some slop in it. I'm surprised they designed it to have so much play.

    Great video! Thanks! Quick tip to anyone attempting this..
    The most challenging part is the rear end pulley by the transmission. Rather than using a wrench to remove the guide post (or using an allen key), if you have snap ring pliers, you can remove the transmission fan, which allows you to lift the pulley to add/remove the belt. This worked out for me, since I had to replace my belt and fan at the same time.

    Good instructions.
    My L110 has what seems like a better arrangement for the guide at the transmission pulley. The fan is under the pulley instead of over it, and the guides are two tabs (like at the engine pulley) coming down from a piece of sheet metal that straddles the two rails of the frame. Very easy to remove.

    • @JohnsonsSmallEngines

      I would recommend the gas tank being less than half full. At least keep an eye on it and if you smell gas leaking, it’s most likely coming from either the vent or the gas cap. And be careful how high you raise the front end. Everything else should be fine if you raising up the front end only.
