pulleys on the deck; then route the belt
rearward beneath the tractor frame, above
the transmission tube(s), to the PTO pulley
on the bottom of the engine.
8. Using the deck lift handle, raise the deck
to the position that provides the most
horizontal run of the belt between the deck
idler pulleys and the PTO pulley on the
bottom of the engine.
9. Make certain the belt is in the spindle
pulleys of the deck, and that the backside
of the belt is against both the fixed and
movable idler pulleys.
10. Sitting behind the tractor, facing forward,
make certain the belt is not twisted; then
reach beneath the tractor to grasp the belt
and pull it toward the PTO pulley.
Use caution to avoid pinching your fingers when rolling the
belt onto the PTO pulley.
11. Pull the right side of the PTO belt rearward
and place the narrow V-side of the PTO belt
into the PTO pulley. See Figure 4-10.
12. While holding the PTO belt and PTO pulley
together, rotate the PTO pulley to the left (See
Figure 4-10). Continue holding and rotating
the PTO pulley and PTO belt until the PTO belt
is fully rolled into the PTO pulley.
Note: Before using the tractor double-check
the belt routing to make sure that the belt
has been routed properly.
