We show the step by step process of changing the ground dive belt on this Hustler Raptor SD zero turn mower model 932566.
The belt part number 603907R (607400) can be purchased at amzn.to/3uNAV3n
This is one of the easier belts to replace and with these steps you can do it in a matter of minutes.
From start to finish this repair (without recording a video) would have taken me less than 15 minutes total.
It is made a lot easier by the design since you do not have to remove the PTO clutch in order to replace this pulley.

Hey I just want to thank you! Inherited my dads 60” raptor sd after loosing him! I have never worked on a mower like this before but with your video playing and following you step by step I had a new belt on and was mowing again in about 15 minutes! HUGE thank you for saving me some good money and a trip to the repair shop!!!!! 🤗🙏👍💰
So glad to help! Great job!
Excellent instructions here. You actually showed the installation. Some guys out there just show the new belt in place. One even insisted that the blade belt didn't have to come off. Guess he uses magic. LOL.
Haha that's a new one!! Thanks for watching!
Watched 3 other videos yours was the best and appreciated the video mower is up and running in less than 30 minutes
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
I've been doing this the hard way for 4 years, removing the PTO bracket and disconnecting the wire. After watching your video I did it this morning "in 10 minutes" and I won't dread this job anymore! Thank you
Awesome news! Thanks for your comment!
Word to the Wise! DON'T remove beastly Deck Belt Spring. Save your time & fingers by following method shown in this video instead. Genius. God bless.
Good info! Thanks for watching!
On my model 938548 it is impossible to remove the deck belt from the PTO without removing the deck spring. Ya this one is a bear but at least you have to leverage to pull on it unlike the drive spring. I used a spring tool and a strap to get if off and on.
One of the clearest videos I've seen on this subject. Great job!
Thank you!
This is a RIPPA video!!! I've been researching videos, but they've not been showing how to thread the belt. You having done this, has given me so much more confidence in being able to do it myself! Thank you VERY much!!!
Glad to help!
I watched a few videos on this, but you did the best job, not over complicating it. Thanks for sharing!
Glad to help! Thanks for watching!
Unreal how easy you made this, I did however have to take off the deck spring because of the deck belt being too tight. So in total 12 mins from start. Thanks!!
Awesome job! Thanks for watching!
Threw a drive belt this morning, so came here to see how to put it back, even it was just to get me started and moving, and back to the shed. The belt was still above the deck belt, so it was just a case of pulling the tensioner spring off, looping it around and putting the spring back. The spring was the hardest part. Go figure.
There's no doubt a greater problem here, so I'll check the mounts for cracks, and tighten all the mounting bolt.
Another way to loosen tension on the deck belt is: from the left hand side of the deck, between the spring pulley, and the side pulley, just pull the belt itself. It'll pull the spring and the spring pulley, then you just loop it over the left hand deck pulley. It'll free up the tension all around, then you can just pull it backwards from the PTO and unhook it. When you refit it, same thing in reverse - loop around the PTO, loop it around the spring pulley, the pull back on the belt itself from the left hand side of the deck, and loop it over the left hand side pulley. WAY more room than underneath. No need to unhook the spring.
Nonetheless, great, simple video, and helped me a lot. Thanks!
Edit: I have a sheered off mounting bracket. New brackets ordered.
Nice tip!! So glad to help!
Great video. Used the info in it today when replacing the hydro drive belt on my Hustler Raptor SD 60 model 935916. Made the replacement very easy. Thanks for sharing your time and knowledge. Have watched several of your other videos especially the one where you gave us a tour of your shop. Just turned 74 yrs young but getting down under my mowers and ATV's to work on them and then getting back up and vertical is getting more difficult every year. Really interested in knowing about the drive-on lift you use. Where can one be purchased or did you build it? What's the good and bad about it? Any info you can share would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance and PLEASE keep providing those great videos you generate. The thoroughness and quality of your videos are the best I've seen.......anywhere!!!
I appreciate that! My back was horrible (still is sometimes) until I got these lifts. I have multiple lifts there is a video at th-cam.com/video/-hNN2AGrOHk/w-d-xo.html showing the two we have currently. We just got one in Friday so there will be an update video comparing these two with a little heavier duty one we just bought.
I appreciate your words of support
Just put one on a 5 year old Hustler 42 in. cut. Be advised that the new belts may be a little wider and harder to put over the pullies. Really had to work hard as it hits the top of the frame and takes a lot of pushing to get it in. Also there is a skid plate I had to take off to be able to reach the pullies. Had to remove the bracket that holds the PTO clutch. It's not as easy as he makes it look. Took me over 2 hours but I could not have done it without this video.
I have never seen one that the bracket or pulley had to be taken off but thanks for sharing this! If I get another one in this style maybe I will do a remake. Glad to help
Mine has the skid plate as well. I was hoping for the 15 min job and not the 2 hour job. will see when I get my belt to replace it.
Thanks! I just had my Raptor SD throw a belt because I was turning while dropping off an incline. Mower abruptly stopped. I undid the rear spring and threaded the belt as you advised.
Great job!
That tension spring almost kicked my a - -!! I couldn't find anyone with a trampoline spring puller tool, nor was there one anywhere for sale in my small hometown, so I finally got it back on with vicescripts!! Not so easy to do for me!
Definitely difficult!
Thanks, you saved me much time and more gray hair.
Glad to help! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video... i was laying under the mower holding the belt and completely clueless.
Glad to help! Thanks for watching!
Thank you, had my hustler few months and belt came lose! Fast n easy fix!
Thanks for watching!!
Thanks for the video and your excellent camera work. Can actually see everything. 👍
I appreciate that! Thanks also for watching!
Thanks for the video. On my model 938548, 54 inch deck, was not an easy job took over 3 hours. Had to remove the deck spring, and removed the deck belt, and then worked the drive belt over both pulleys over the top - enough room over the pulleys and I used a claw grabber and a screw drive to work them over - no room for fingers. Then around the pto pulley and under the idle arm and on to that pulley. My drive spring is a lot different that this video - it was much more stout and I struggled for a long while to get it on with a variety of tools - such as my spring tools and needle nose vise grips. Not fun!
Definitely sounds like a much more difficult repair!
Thanks for the walk through
Glad to help!
Much obliged. It made it extremely easy to complete this. Thanks!
Glad to help! Thanks for watching!
Superb video brother.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Peace love and blessings 💫
I appreciate that! Blessings right back at you!
This video was very helpful. Thanks for sharing the information. Saved me a lot of time.
Glad to help! Thanks for watching!
Best video on this! Thanks.
Thanks for watching!!!
Any advice for how to lift the backend once the belt has slipped and the whole thing is immobile? I can't get under it enough to finnagle those belts and springs
It sure is difficult without some help! A jack and some jack stands or ramps to prop the back up will do you wonders for access
I'm fortunate enough to have a tractor with a front end loader I just chain it and pick it straight up. I can stand up and change the belt
Thank u T
You show hot to do it easy
Glad to help!
Very helpful. Thank you very much.
I am glad to help, thanks for watching!
Great video, thanks for posting!
Thanks for watching! I appreciate that!
Thank You for information and advice
Thanks for your positive support and for watching!!!
So far so good. Only used it once, but...
Glad to help! Thanks for watching!
Great video and thank you sir for sharing your time and expertise . I have a damaged transmission blower fan (rear right side) and will be replacing it when parts arrive. My mower is a 2016 Hustler Raptor SD 60" model #935916. VERY little clearance between top of drive belt pulley and solid metal above it. Almost no clearance so it looks like I will need to drop the transmission down some to access the nut that holds the pulley and fan on the transmission shaft. Since the pulley looks to be in good condition was going to replace the fan only ($17) rather than replacing with the fan/pulley kit ($67). Any suggestions / recommendations regarding fan only vs fan/pulley kit? Also any suggestions / cautions about gaining some clearance by loosening off on the transmission mounting bolts? I've looked at your video play list and didn't find any video of yours regarding fan replacement. Anyway, any advice you could share would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance !!
Yeah, just drop it down a bit and you should be able to get it replaced without issue. Just replacing the fan is fine if the pulley is good, no need for the kit
Thanks for the video, I just use a bit of bruscutter cord to pull the springs loose or back on 👌
Good tip! Thanks for watching!
Hi I ordered jd140 but returned because it didn’t have cruise control so I ordered cub cadet XT1 46” 23 hp koler- hope you work on one and post all related repairs for it- thank you bud
Have worked on plenty but there will be more to come I am sure! Thanks for watching!
I was looking at my friends Raptor SDX 54 cut the other day after changing it his deck belt. It was really hard to even see the belt. Looked like it would be a bear to replace. Have you done on on the SDX yet, and was it just as easy? Model 939256.
It looks like from the diagram that the process is exactly the same
@IndRepair ok, thanks for the quick reply. He will probably bring it back to me to replace it before next mowing season. You have some of the best and well described videos on repairs. Very helpful.
@garylittle8985 I appreciate that! Always glad to help
Same process for the Hustler Raptor 60? It looks like it.
It sure could be, many are like this but some may have to remove the clutch since the clutch braket is facing toward the back
Great video, much appreciated
Glad to help. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing!
Glad to help
so helpful TY
Glad to help. Thanks for watching
There is an electric plug of some kind preventing access to the pulley. The one in your vid is on the back of your pulley where as mine is on the front side and the wire is blocking me from installation. Is that connector a plug or is that a fixed connection?
There is an electrical connection where it can be removed either right at the pulley or up the wire with a plastic connection
6-3-24. 8 pm Why do I remove the electric clutch stabilizer bracket? Your video doesn't show that. I usually have to remove the electric wire and the retainer bracket that keeps the clutch from spinning around and around we just now put it on three times and it keeps jumping off I'm doing something wrong. I've got a 2007 Hustler sd54@@IndRepair
@@ernestcopley2654 This one had a design that did not require it since it was facing toward the front of the machine if I remember correctly. Has it ben bent slightly up so it is not making good contact with the clutch?
Helped me out, thankyou
Glad to help! Thanks for watching!
Mine was an older model and the golden bracket between the pully assembly and the bottom of the mower had no clearance with the spring on the left. 2 bolts held it in, one 14 that went into the motor and the 15 that had a nut on the top. Just take out the 15 and losen the 14 and you should have enough clearance without removing the bracket.
Great tip!
@@IndRepair Great video. It gave me the confidence to work on a customer's mower and get it moving again. Didn't go exactly as planned, and they knew I had no idea what I was doing, but it got done the same day!
Awesome job!!
Does it have to be a cogged belt, i put on a non cogged belt, and it spit it off!
Normally not but I usually use whatever OEM they recommend
Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
I have a Big Dog Alpha MP 48". Do you use the same procedure to replace the drive belt on it? I checked the dealer's price to replace both belts. They quoted me $135 for the belts and with labor it would be $279. If this is the same procedure, that seems like an exorbitant price. By the way, great video. Better than others I watched.
It looks like from the diagram everything is the same process wise but I am not 100% sure. Sounds in line with what most dealers would charge around here
I appreciate your positive comment on this also!
Some great advice!
Thanks for your positive support and for watching as always Don!!
Will that same belt work on a 2015 Raptor SD 60"??
I believe it is the same, yes. Look up based on your model number to be sure, if you provide it I can check for you
@@IndRepair My model number is 932541. Where would I go to check? Thanks!!
@@highplainshollarhomestead3188 The drive belt listed is the correct one for your model
Thanks. Any other brand belts I can get at a tractor supply or rural king? I tried a 604700 from rural king and it failed. I did have broken brackets, so misalignment may have been the problem there.
I would not go with an aftermarket myself. Hope you got it fixed up
Just found the channel and enjoy the content. Which mower do you recommended for .75 acres and under 3k? Thanks!
Doesn't seem like they exist anymore...Home Dept last week had Toro Timecutter at $3,299...
Take a ratchet strap and pull that poly back a little bit and you can easily remove the deck belt from the motor
Definitely one of my go to's for installing tough springs. Thanks for sharing!
Is there a way to lower the fan /pulley??? There’s like no space between the pulley and the bottom of the deck 🙃
Can you drop the deck further down? Talking to main pto pulley?
Same one before
Like the one you’ll got
Sorry not for you’ll
A
Nice!
Thank you! 🙏🏻
Thanks for watching! Glad to help!
Ok, thanks.
Glad to help
Thanks bro
Glad to help! Thanks for watching!
belt won't roll, pulley is "locked"
If pulley is locked up it will need replaced
A LOT EASIER Lol. then on mine Thanks for earlier showing tips on getting a drive down.
Definitely one of the easiest! Thanks for watching!
👋👍
Thanks for watching!!
Hi
Hello
Mower needs a good cleaning. Blow off all that grass and dirt with a blower please. Makes the job so much nicer
Very little grass on it compared to most but it was blown off before sending back. One cut and that grass gathered back in the same spot though, I'm sure. We also did a tune up on it after this belt replacement. Thanks for watching!
