Great tip. Removed the 4 Bolts and muffler shroud. Engine moved and I was able to slide the engine enough to push belt past the keepers. Quick and easy. Thanks again for generously sharing this tip!
For the engine? There are 4 bolts that drop down through the base of the engine and through the frame of the riding mower that you access from the engine bay and then underneath the frame. Loosen those and pull out and then you can move the engine around enough to maneuver the pulley to get the old belt off and the new one on.
@@jjsmachine unless I missed something I had to go up through a hole in the steering sector plate to get at one bolt. Even had to move drag link out of the way.
@@kenhilson786 not all machines are the same but most just have 4 bolts holding the engine to the frame. They are at the 4 corners at the base of the engine. That's all you should need to get a little wiggle room.to get the belt off and a new one on.
@@Drdickie101 Not sure how soon you need an answer. Pouring rain here for the next several days due to the tropical storm. I should be able to take a picture or two Friday or Saturday.
Thank you so much for giving us the solution. We had no idea what to do and your video is amazing. Thank you again.

Great tip wish I had watched this one first .
Awesome solution. And excellent lighting, so many mower videos are filmed at midnight its seems they are so dark. 👍🤟
Great video, you just save me some unnecessary work...thanks.
Pretty cool. Solved it for me.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Looks like I’ve got my work cut out for me.
Very Good!.
Great minds think alike.
I’ve had to R&R the engine bolts to change belt 😢
That pulley has hub on both sides. One side is thicker and had the key impressed. Wish I could in your video which hub is at the bottom.
You took the pulley off then?
Where are the retaining bolts?

what about the rest??
What else would you like to see? Did that video a while ago but I can do an update
@@jjsmachine how does the belt go on each of the pulleys? My belt broke so I'm not sure how to route it back into the drive pulleys??

@@Drdickie101 Will, the V-side of the belt go to the v-shaped inner pulleys and flat-side belt to flat-shaped pulleys.
Can only route one way 🙂
U can’t slide the engine on the xp 50 🤣
