3 blade 46" MTD decks actually cut extremely well for a lawn tractor. Those decks were used on garden tractors back in the day. Notice how they have disappeared.

Yes, they cut very well! Different blade sizes makes buying blades a little annoying but online shopping makes things easier.

I usually put from 250 to 350 in them in order to get them in top

[@philliphall5198]

I don’t see a belt guide under the engine and always look up the pulley size on them because it’s common to have a smaller one than the correct size, which will make belt to lose 😊

[@TheMowerchanic]

Yeah there's one on each side of the pulley under the engine. That is a good point I'll double check size

Kit is 80 bucks for none shop people 😊

Hello sir, does that MTD Yard Machines have a belt that goes around 4 pulleys other than the engine pulley? I have a 42" that has the problem of the blades will not disengage. The model and serial number is 13AK608G062 and serial is 1K289H10568 .

[@TheMowerchanic]

Hello, yes this one has the 2 belt design. One upper and lower belt. Does yours?

[@ronniewortham3260]

@@TheMowerchanic Mine only has one belt. if you wouldn't mine, can you send me your email address and I'll send you a pic of my belt diagram, I tried to attach it here but it won't work for me

Down here it’s getting too where it’s not worth the effort and money to fix up the mowers for 30 bucks profit 😢😢😢

[@TheMowerchanic]

yeah they're not all worth it
