Thanks for the video and no nonsense explanation. Some twig went under my mower and dislodged the drivebelt. I was able to put it back on myself with this video
Great job fixing it yourself! I'm glad the video was helpful. When you get a chance, inspect both cooling fans at the top of the transmissions, because usually when the belt gets pitched off, it'll break off the blades of the fans, like you see on the machine in this video. Running the transmissions without proper cooling will destroy them internally.
@@austinado16 Thanks for the reply and good call on those cooling fans. Surprisingly and fortunately, the blades are all still intact. Must've just been a freak accident when the brush twig dislodged the belt I suppose.
@@youngeebs It's not uncommon for twiggs/branches to get up into the top of the decks, or up into the transmission belt area and derail the belt(s). I'm glad the cooling fans weren't damaged.
I have the same model with a drive belt problem. I used your video, which was very helpful in figuring out the belt layout. But mine keep failing every time I tried to drive the mower. Thanks for for sharing.
I'm so glad the video helped! The belts can be replaced with the rear wheels up on automotive ramps, but it's much easier if the mower is safely raised to a much higher position. Nice job fixing your own machine!
Hi, Todd. Thank you for making this video. I have a slightly different model Timecutter but the pulley layout is the same, so extremely helpful. What I found to be quite difficult was maneuvering my fingers in the very tight space toward the rear to get the belt around the transmission pulleys. It took a couple hours of almost getting it around one, and then the other, and finally around both. Very frustrating! I looked to see if there was anything I could remove to give me more space to work in that area but there isn't. Any tips on how to get the new drive belt around those two transmissions pulleys would be very useful. Nevertheless, thank you for your clear explanation of the layout of the pulley and the tensioner spring!
You're very welcome, and thanks for the nice comment! What I do on these is feed the belt into the flexible blades of the cooling fans, and then rotate the fan by hand. The belt will sit between 2 blades, and then be walked around completely, and finally, drop onto the pulley. I always get the belt around the the trans pulleys first, before feeding it around anything else. I do the same when replacing belt on a lawn tractor/riding mower... it goes around the transmission pulley, using the fan blade trick, around the engine pulley, and then I feed it through the tensioner pulley system. Mower decks are done the same way. Hope this helps!
I have a gantry crane that's on large wheels, and has an electric winch with pulley to cut the load on the winch in half. This job could have been done with the machine parked with the rear wheels up on automotive ramps, but it would have been difficult to shoot a clear video.

You're welcome!
Thanks for the video! I've been searching for an hour for a drive belt diagram!
You're very welcome! I'm glad you found the video!
I couldn’t have done this without you
😊 thanks so much
Putting the mower up high is the trick
I'm so glad the video helped! The belts can be replaced with the rear wheels up on automotive ramps, but it's much easier if the mower is safely raised to a much higher position. Nice job fixing your own machine!
Thank you kept it simple
You're welcome! I wasn't sure if I could get clear enough views with a camera, to make it understandable/helpful.
Perfect.
I tried it on car ramps
I used my front end loader
Got it almost vertical
So much easier to do and see as well as understand
Thank you for this......
You're welcome! I'm glad the video helped you out.

Good detail, thx bud.
No problem 👍
Excellent!
Thank you.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching, and for the nice comment!
Hi, I was wondering how did you jack up the rear of the mover
I have a gantry crane that's on large wheels, and has an electric winch with pulley to cut the load on the winch in half. This job could have been done with the machine parked with the rear wheels up on automotive ramps, but it would have been difficult to shoot a clear video.
toro doesn't have a diagram for that in any pdf on their website, I would never have been able to figure it out without your help.
I'm glad the video was helpful, and thanks for leaving a comment!
What size is the belt of the driving belt?
I don't know the actual belt size. I purchase belts by their factory part number in order to get the correct belt.
