Thanks for a great video. My mtd 38" deck only has 1 idler, but with your help I was able to get a new belt on and since I had the deck down I discovered a thick layer of grass stuck to the bottom of the deck. I had been spraying water under the deck with blades running thinking I was getting it clean, but when I got the gunk off I discovered many areas with major rust layers. Glad to find this before it rusted through. This fall I'll drop the deck and weld some metal over the areas that were rusted bad. Thanks again, you saved me a lot of time and extra elbow grease. Btw, you are very good at explaining things in a very understanding way!
Daniel Boles I’m glad you found the video helpful. I recommend using your blower after each cutting instead of spraying water on it. I appreciate the compliment. I’m a school teacher and now teacher trainer so maybe that’s where I learned to provide clear instructions. The quality of my videos have improved since recording this one. This was one of my first 10 videos!
Had a old mower from the home depot days, and this sure helped a LOT in making sure the deck was correctly assembled to the frame. It's been through.. well.. hell. LOL. Thanks again!
Got the deck belt on my MTD this afternoon without a hitch, thanks to your excellent video. Cuts like new! Mine had one tension pulley instead of two but same idea. Thanks again!
Thank for the instruction! This video turned out to be a great father/son project. I`m an old time mechanic and never worked on this kind of equiment . So by wathing, I was able to figure out why the belts kept coming off.
Thank you for sharing that. I makes me happy to know I created a father/son bonding opportunity for you. My daughter loves to come work in the basement with me.
That is great to hear. Let me know if there are other things you want me to make a video for on this mower. Subscribe so you can find the new videos easily.
James Berryman You will eventually need to replace your upper and lower drive belts also. The symptom would be that your mower no longer goes uphill easily.

Great vid, thanks a lot, have a similar Murray mower and this was first vid that was explained precisely 2 thumbs up, thanks for taking the time to make the vid !!!!!!!!
In my opinion, I think it would be so much easier to just take the whole deck out held by like 6 pins, pull the deck out, change the belt a lot easier with a lot more space, and put the deck back into place with the pins.
Thanks for posting the 3 belt replacement videos. I have to replace all 3 tomorrow and this will make the task much quicker. Did you notice a blade brake on yours? I have a Yard Machines unit that is very similar but it did have a brake. (which fell off a couple of years ago) I 'll look into that while I'm under there.
Mine did not have a blade brake. Hope the videos are helpful. Let me know if you run into any trouble. Be sure to line up the teeth on the large pulley of the upper drive belt before tightening the nut.
Nice video. you need to talk louder, i couldnt hear you. i have had so many problems with my mower. mtd gold. 42 inch deck. replaced the idler pulleys, spindle arm assembly and now i cant get the belt on. called mtd for assistance they said to remove the spring where the pto engages the blades. and i cant get thing off either. thank you for making the video it was very helpful..
donna ranieri Thank you for letting me know about the volume issues. I will be sure to speak louder in future videos. Are you still having trouble getting the belt on or did the video help? If you are still having trouble, I will take a look at the PTO spring and see if I can make a video showing how to remove it. Just let me know by replying here. I have videos for how to replace all three belts. The other two can be found here. Lower Drive Belt: th-cam.com/video/s15DY6FkCeE/w-d-xo.html Upper Drive Belt: th-cam.com/video/G20J6LrHgM8/w-d-xo.html
Thank you, sir. Mine is MTD Gold Hydro, 42 “ , what appears to be a 5 speed(no manual, but looks like 5 markings for speed gears. Bought a replacement belt from a auto parts dealer. Should I take it back and order one or just go for it? Capt Joe Kelley.
In glad you found the videos helpful. I bust my knuckles all the time working on these beasts. I know it will happen and I still don't wear gloves because they just get in the way.
Great video thanks, Just got a Huskee tracker 25hp 46"cut that I'm gonna be doing a lot of maintenance on probably by looking at a lot of videos. What does MTD mean?
I just purchased a mtd that has a 38 inch deck seemed to be a mower that came with a 42 in deck assuming it's been replaced I noticed that my deck has only 3 pulleys on the deck and yours has 4 also mine doesn't have wheels on the front of the deck but the issue I'm having is getting the correct belt size for the deck the one I ran seemed to be to long but the shorter one was too tight and kept the blades engaged and would not let the motor start
What is the actual measurement of the belt ? I've been trying to do mine but something isn't right. The belt that mtd suggests does not fit ( too short) I have tried everything.
Ok so I understand the belt should be loose until the pto is engaged…however that being said…on my machine the belt and blades spin with it all the way up but with every setting I lower the deck down the belt becomes looser and looser and on the lowest setting #1 the blades don’t even spin….is my belt stretched?
I have a 42" MTD Gold. Run great but when I put it in reverse it starts to die. I have the hydrostatic transmission. You ever seen this before? Thanks - Tony
Sorry. I haven’t encountered that. I know some mowers have switches that won’t let you reverse with the blades engaged. Does it do it even when the PTO is off?
Wang Thao Did you buy an OEM belt? Sometimes companies sell a “compatible” belt that is actually a little longer than it should be. The other possibility (less likely) is your spring is stretched out.
Bit puzzled about how you were able to install the deck belt without releasing the tension on the tensioner pulley. The spring on my MTD is very strong and there is no way the belt will go on without completely compressing the spring tensioner setup somehow. Previously I have used a 1 metre length of steam pipe and grunted the belt over the upper lip of one of the blade pulleys having the rest of the belt in place as it should be.What I am doing there is levering the tensioner closer in making the smallest possible circuit for the belt which allows it slip over and into the pulley.I was looking for a better way of installing the belt after replacing a blade pulley and blade pulley spindle shaft.
NoStringsAttached It shouldn’t be that tight when the PTO isn’t engaged. I think your belt is too short. I always suggest buying OEM belts. Many aftermarket companies sell belts that are close to the correct size but not an exact fit.
It sounds like you have an issue with your PTO relay switch being stuck ON. The easiest way to remove the blades is with an impact wrench. Otherwise you need to find a way to prevent the blades from spinning while you use a regular socket wrench. I've used a 2x4 to wedge the blades so they won't spin before but be very careful. The blades could spin and cut you or worse.
Hi I have a question. My belt guard came completely off. It's the metal bar you popped off by pressing it and you said you didn't have to take it completely off to get the belt off so you just took the one side off. How and where does the other side get installed?? Thanks.
Jr Figueroa You should have three holes on each side. Make sure to put it in the same hole on each side. I think mine was in the middle hole. I no longer have this mower so I can't go check.
I have a 2015 MTD Riding Lawn Mower. Can you teach me how to remove the carburetor? I have seen other videos. Some are not comparable with my tractor. Keep doing a great job. :-)
kelsey moe There is no way to safely tighten the belt. If it’s loose, you need a new one. I always recommend ordering OEM belts so they are the exact length needed. If you don’t buy OEM, at least buy from a reputable company. Cheaper is not better when it comes to belts.
TightWadRepairs .... thanks for your fast response.i figured out the problem guy I purchased it from had the blade engage spring in wrong spot. But I can't complain I bought this mower for 75 bucks guy said it was stuck and blade wouldn't engage so I took off brakes oiled up Pistons it's stop being stuck and figured out what was wrong with belt..runs and cuts like it's new
Dj Mann did you buy an OEM belt from MTD? If not, it may not be exactly the correct size. The only other think is that the tensioner pulley spring could be bad.

Omar Argullin Yes. My belt was stretched and worn. What is the issue with your mower? I have several repair videos and I can point you to the correct video if you have a different issue.
@@TightWadDIY my blades wont disengage sometimes. I i cleaned the deck and a bunch of parts were rusted and dirty. I took a wire wheel and cleaned everything and im going to change the belt and one of the pulleys. Hopefully thats my problem
Ok got it i have the green and orange in the right spot but then there is a yellow wire just like the green and orange that slides on to something but i don’t no where it came off
You dont have to take the battery post off or you don't have to take the key out I never do and nothing happens so ther is no reason to like the engine is gonna start I think not that never happens
@@TightWadDIY yea that's true more likely it wont happend and my belt broke on my mower lastnight its cost 41 bucks for a 42 inch belt john deere parts are hight

Very good video but you didn't take the deck out I need to know how to put that spring back on
I would only remove the deck if I had to work on the deck itself. The spring goes into the hole on the side of the frame. I use a string to pull it.

How do the swing arms attatch
When tightening down the tension pully, do you pull it towards you or push it in?
Alisha Morgan I’m not sure what you mean. The pulley arm moves freely on the tension pulley.

Cuál es la medida de la correa
so it is suspose to look loose like that ?
Yes, the belt is loose when the blades are no engaged. When the blades engage, the belt tightens on the pulleys.
Hey when I change the belt on here for some reason the belt is still lose is there any way I can tighten that up
Dj Mann did you buy an OEM belt from MTD? If not, it may not be exactly the correct size. The only other think is that the tensioner pulley spring could be bad.
Is the belt supposed to be a little loose?
J Sali It should be loose until you engage the PTO, then it should tighten up.
