How To Replace The Belt on a Craftsman Front Wheel Drive Self Propelled Lawnmower

[@jimbordoni4719]

Best and clearest instruction video I have seen in a long time. Made it easy. Thanks!

[@gq-rod3025]

Thanks for the video it really helped, one tip for those doing the same thing, apply a small amount of anit-seize grease on the engine shaft in order to ensure it does not freeze onto the blade adapter from the rust build up.

[@jayc3110]

Thanks a lot... That was an excellent well Made set of instructions on your video... Very clear and concise!

[@THOREAU79]

Excellent job! Thanks for mentoring the size of each bolt.

[@volksuser]

Thanks, Couldn't have figured it out without this video!

[@maddagger2000]

Great video.straight forward and to the point.🖒

[@DIYLifeSkills]

Short & sweet with all the necessary video shots. Great job!!
Looks like you need to clean the carburetor,
particularly the bolt that is at the bottom of the carb,
that also has tiny holes and acts as a main jet.
I was having the same issue, and just had to do that myself
on a similar lawn mower that I just bought for $25 to get it to start and run smoothly.

exactly the same pulley & guide bracket on my Yardworks mower. I watched the first three minutes of your video and fixed my "jumped" drive belt in 45 secs. Thanks.

[@r.a.5625]

Hi, can you share the part number of the drive belt? thank you

[@dennishamilton526]

Thank! Video was very precise and easy to follow!

[@SUPERSTAR10008]

Thanks for the video. It was super helpful :)

[@brucejohnson8233]

Just replaced the drive belt in our Craftsman front wheel drive mower. and the power drive works like new! Our mower had one significant difference from the video. After removing the blade, the center spindle would not slide off. Instead, there was a belt drive that was held on by a single bolt. We removed the guide and the belt slipped on easily.🙂

[@ericwight3031]

my center spindle wont' come off, doing some banging with liberal amounts of wd40. no seeing can't see a bolt to take off

[@madisonromero3529]

Thanks for the video. exactly what I needed to watch for my mower repair!

[@denniswhisenand4176]

Madison Romero. I need the screw size for the choke assembly on the front of the engine

[@kmrice2803]

Thanks. Easier than I thought. 👍

[@thomassawyer6523]

I've been reluctant to take this apart, now I'm OK with it. I have to investigate why only 1 wheel spins and the other does not....TY and subscribed.

[@100PercentOS2]

Very helpful video. Thanks.

[@ezmirali6484]

That was very helpful and thank you.

[@lvlikeyV]

Any chance you can do a video on how to replace the cable for the front drive self propelled system?
Great video!

[@RileyUMR]

Thanks so much for the video!

[@katout75]

Excellent video, thanks for posting

[@key2hwy]

Got it done - Thx!!

[@gideonwocc4375]

Thanks for the help my pulley was just locked up but this video helped

[@lukedickinson7135]

Good video! What do you do if the shaft doesn't want to come off?

[@emiliodiaz6057]

Do you have the part number for the belt?

[@amourmtungo623]

Great job. Thank you. I bought the new machine the belt came off in just 3 months. The machine has 3 years guarantee on it I wonder why the belt came off.

Big. thumbs .up...

[@brianwheeler3861]

Thank you for video

[@BassFishingFan21]

Nice vid

[@vergissnead5997]

Great video. It was really helpful. Do you have a video that shows how to adjust or replace the drive control cable for the same Craftman mower? The tension on mine isn't tight enough.

[@donpatton1246]

near your drive engage handle there should be a piece of the cable that you just rotate....one way increases tension and the other loosens....too loose and you want go anywhere. too tight and it will be full speed

[@joebocco492]

Thanks for sharing

[@matthewmckenzie4184]

Thank you.

[@r.a.5625]

Does anyone know the part number of the belt? I have the same lawn mower craftsman with briggs stratton 6.75

[@jamescue7464]

THANK you for that! I have been searching for a video or manual that would show me how to replace the belt on my craftsman self-propelled! One question though, what size is the belt? I tried to find that online as well.

[@r.a.5625]

Hi, could you be able to find the part number of the belt? I have the same lawn mower in this video. Thanks

[@MARD0G]

Thanks dude

[@bryanlafontaine6460]

Does anyone have any part numbers for a replacement belt? Thanks

[@winstonthehavenese5269]

What’s the part # for the belt?

[@svenland6892]

Thank you....

[@marcusdoyle2139]

What size is the belt?

[@jerrymannnino6649]

Thanks

[@ericwight3031]

blades off, my center spindle wont' come off, doing some banging with liberal amounts of wd40. no seeing can't see a bolt to take off, any ideas?

[@jaytodd5809]

Just remove the engine mount bolt holding the other guard on ..simple man

[@thomasmorris6189]

Did I hear an ELECTRIC start instead of the pull cord? I never knew they come with that option if this one does.

[@zeeus72]

Thomas Morris Yes, they come with electric start.

[@andrescarrera1244]

That's why you don't tip your mower all the way over

[@RUTOO7]

Does anyone know what size belt this mower uses? That would be helpful to know....

[@sdsturges2464]

A196853 or 3/8"x 33.5"

[@tinybusinesses1566]

Do you know the part number for the drive wheel engagement cable? I cannot find it. Thanks

[@sdsturges2464]

belt size should be 3/8"x33.5" or A196853 or 196853

[@alejandromireles2105]

Is this for the crafts man platinum 6.75 190cc?

[@nickmajka]

3/8x33.5 is not correct.

[@kenjohnson958]

A wider view would help

[@pewdiepievst-seriespleases2279]

Hi

[@jaytodd5809]

Are you kidding..this is ridiculous..you take one engine mounting bolt off and and the other belt guard comes off..No need to deal with blades of blade adapters!
