Craftsman Lawnmower Rear Drive Belt Replacement EZ-Walk Part 1 Disassembly

- It took me a while how to figure out how to take apart the mower in order to replace the belt, because there was no good youtube video of how to do this.
The mower in the video is a model 917.370930 Craftsman approximately 7 to 10 years old. It's been a very reliable mower. I already replaced the EZ-Walk drive cable.
I hope this helps people learn from my mistakes. The hardest part was finding all the bolts for the belt cover and rear discharge chute. But it turns out not to be all that bad. FYI, its a 13 mm bolt for the battery box, not a 10 mm as stated in the video.
If you like this video, I did a part 2 with the reassembly:

You're a savior, thanks! Working on mine presently, this video I was searching for. 👍
Your video saved the day here today. Thanks! After finding a thrashed and illegally-discarded pair of old mowers, I grabbed the Craftsman and RWD EZWalk mower. It has kept me busy for a couple of days now, and the drive belt replacement was the final repair. I believe that rodents had chewed through the belt! I almost pulled the rear axle trying to get to the rear pulley, but I thought I would check TH-cam first. Glad I did!
I also substituted a motorcycle brake lever for the original plastic drive lever, only had to create an anchor point on the lever for the cut-off end of the cable (the mower handle is the same diameter as a motorcycle handlebar).
I know this is a several year old video, but thank you! Just replaced my belt, easy peasy with your video!
I've had exactly the same mower for about 10 years, but only recently had a broken self-propelled belt. I spent nearly an hour trying th get the shield off underneath with no luck, until you posted about the attachment screws for the shield being hidden under the battery box up top. Once I had them out, I got the belt off in 2 minutes, and replaced in 10. Thanks for the tip!
I just wanted to get to the oil drain plug and was having fits. This was very helpful for instructing on how to remove the debris cowl. Thanks!
Thanks so much for the video the hardest part for me was finding all the bolts that hold the plastic shroud took some time but after that it was pretty straightforward
Thank you so much. We were having trouble taking the cover off and this video helped a lot.
Thank You for doing the video. It showed me exactly how to do it.
Thanks, man! You saved my day. I couldn't get the belt cover off, could not find where the fasteners are.
glad to find this, I have the same mower and I need to replace the cable today (I'm pretty sure mine kinked and now wont work
Thanks, that was somewhat helpful. That demonstration could have been a really useful video but it lacked clarity oh, it was very shaky and the lighting was impossible! It would have been terrific if it was more clear. Thanks again and best wishes.
Very helpful. Thank you.
This is my exact mower, thanks so much for posting!
Informative, helpful tutorial, but jumpy video made me dizzy and wasn't able to see some things you were talking about. Thank you.
I agree with Roger, I needed to see how to get that rear guide off and your camera angle didn't catch that. I appreciate the effort tho, this was still very helpful. thx
Some GREAT camera work....
Thank you ,I appreciated the info!
thank you so much for posting this vid.. I was so pissed and then I saw your video..
Great video. Thanks
Thanks great explanation take care . Joey
Money shot at 6:00, thanks for adding that
Does the belt suppose to be lose or tide? On my lawn mower, the belt is kind of lose. Do you suppose to change it because I don't if it's supposed to be tide or lose.
What is the store you buy the bell
Who ever was working the camera did a horrible job , moving about too close instead of just standing back and watching from a short distance so your audience could clearly see what was going on , Was glad this video was made because I did learn to a degree how to get to the belt , but because of the camera the execution was poorly done
ugh, so I do have to remove the pulley. Thanks for the video
Could you please tell me the battery part number .I've been trying to find one that fits mine..
Thanks for this. I love my ez walk but trying to find info on it is harder than it should be. Do you have the belt part #??
I went to the hardware store and bought a 35" x 3/8" V-belt for 6.99, works perfectly.
You may depend on the exact model number, you should be able to find the part number in the back of your manual. Mine was 532421527.
Thanks man
belt 3/8 x 35 3/8 (35 inch might need stretched a little)
Can we buy Amazon or eBay
where is the belt tension pulley?
Hi, what is the exact size of the belt?
If your model number is 917.378200 then buy a Lawn Mower Ground Drive Belt, 3/8 x 35-1/2-in 580364604
I really wanna see this but I don't have enough dramamine in the house to get through all the motion.
I can’t get the blade off because the center shaft keeps rotating when I try to turn the center bolt. I have the blade stopped with a blade holder, but the center area where the blade attaches is different on the machine I’m working on. I can’t figure out how to stop it from rotating, and the belt slipped off the idler pulley, and I can’t get to it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Shove a spare of piece of 2x4 in there

Invest in a GoPro attached to your head with lighting, if you’re going to continue making these videos. But thank you for all your effort nevertheless!
Please direct the camera to the area you are talking about as you record. Cant see anything you are describing
Actually it is 5/16 screws
It would if camera was show more then just floor
Model
Next video, buy lights and a tripod for your camera
Eeeeeeek I’m getting dizzy watching this! But I need to.........
Ahh shit, I’m getting nauseated. Where have you got your camera? On you head?
Buy a tripod dude
The demonstration was not good. The camera many times was m0oving and the area you were working on was shown for a second before the camera panned off. Your intent was good but the demonstration needs to be done over.
You’re not wrong but this aside it’s helpful. It’s not terrible.
Hardest part is getting belt past the retaining guide, which was not shown. Lighting was terrible making it difficult to see what was being done, and finally the constant in/out back/forth video made me seasick.
