Hello all,

I've had a Mastercut riding mower for about 10 years that finally
shredded a belt.

It's a 12 HP, 42 inch cut.

It's the belt that runs the blades.

I have a new belt, but it looks like it's harder to do than I
anticipated.

The belt has to go around several things and I have no idea how to do
this.

I'm on a limited income and would prefer to do this myself. The shops
cost more than I can afford right now.

Can anyone give me some instruction on how this is done safely and
properly?


Thank you for your help

I suspect that if you just begin to install the belt, you'll figure out how
it goes. I think if it's done wrong you will either not be able to fit it
onto the drive puller or it will be too loose and fall of that pulley. I
just replaced the belt on a Deutz-Allis and had no idea how it went but once
I started, it was obvious it could only go one way. Good Luck and don't
pinch a finger between a pulley and the belt.
