Thanks Dude, Last Time I paid $170.00 at John Deere dealer,thought belt was under warranty since i only had it 2 weeks. Great directions, even I could do it.
Thank you for making this video. I ran over about 20ft of braided steel cable and the stopping force was so great it snapped an otherwise pristine belt in two. Bummer.
Good job man! That's what I'm doing tomorrow morning on my S120. I had a giant clump of sticks and grass get caught in mine, and I smoked out the other one completely.. lol.
Engage and dis-engage the mower blades at low speed. I've been doing that and have no belt problems on my E120, 3erd season now. I think engaging the blades at high speed, stresses the belt too much. Removing the deck, makes the belt change much easier. Good video.
Thank you so much, I'm 16 years old and we're trying to lawnmower our big property but the belts keep slipping and ripping because the grass got so thick for so long, so I had to learn to put one on for my parents
@@pnv8477 pretty sure the Amazon belt broke after a couple of mows....Ended up getting a belt at the local small motor shop and that also broke after not too long. It seems the key is proper operation of the tensioner and making sure the belt is the same as factory or slightly smaller.
I live on an acre I just bout this mower 2 years ago after replacing two motors on my old L120 …. The S100 is a bit smaller and my belt finally broke today after 2 years from the dealer ….. and yes Engage your mower. And a throttled down lower speed then increase throttle after blade is engaged….
just to help e100 owner here the old manuals had engae blades at highest settings then lower deck. that works. broke my belt then saw this in my paper manual. the new one online now says set height then engage but i will keep doing it engage lower then raise disengage at 4 inches i have had same belt for 3 years now still going strong hope thats helps someone.t try it see what happens
Question when you took the bolt off w the 15mm mine won’t come off..I got the s100 for Christmas and the belt broke after only 9 hours. It feels like it’s going to loosen and then it feels like it skips. I’ve tried for 2 days called John Deere and I don’t have a way to bring it there so I would be charged for a pick up and return even if it’s under warranty…any help would be grateful. Thank you
@@syvallia24 13 hours on my tractor. Lasted July/August/spring out my way, then I had the belt slip off a few times when I was out in the rain and it snapped.
Good how to replace .... but cut from 2 1/2" to 3" not at 1" to 2". Why? Because like other mower manufacturers design around a 2 1/2" to 3" height of cut. I have a '04 L118 mower and the deck belt is still good after 19 years of use. The Deere dealers have a cheaper belt their their "A&I" parts network, its a good belt and about $15 less (about $22 w/tax). Also ... clean out the deck AFTER EACH CUTTING ! Didn't mention blade sharpening ... but every 4 cuts sharpen the blades, I use a 14" flat file as to not kill the temper (hardening) of the blade, you'll get 2 to 3 years from a blade sharpening with a file, PLUS cutting 2 1/2" to 3" as the blades are digging in the dirt an sand.
Lowes wants $55.98 for that same belt now! Crazy! I just got an off brand for $25 on Amazon. If that don’t work I seen one at tractor supply store for $40. If that don’t work back to Amazon to find another $25 or so belt until I find the right one. No way ima drop almost $60 on a belt that can break at anytime. Talk about a hustle! Beautiful property by the way ✌️
@@pinkpeach2397 make sure it’s for your tractor. This belt replaces the gx20072 belt. My tractor is the John Deere s100. I got it today and put it on and it fits. Haven’t mowed yet.

Thanks for the video , didn’t want to remove the whole deck, saved me alot of time.

You just saved me sooo much money and time thank you very much, this was super helpful and I appreciate you taking the time to make this video!

Thanks man! Having to replace my belt after 13 hours logged on the tractor.... Lasted the first summer-ish. Bought a no-name belt for my replacement.

How do you tighten the belt on S100 newer than 2021?
Great video, beautiful where you are
Really like your video keep up the good work
Thanks so much, about to install mine rn !!!!

Does anyone know the size of an s110 belt? My boss bought one of the jd websites and doesn't fit

Just did mine. It was hard to get off originally thought I wasn't going to be able but was able to muscle it
That’s the easy way good job
Good job,but to save your belts in gage your belt at lower rpms
Seems like you have quite a bit to mow.. Did you consider 48-54” decks? That little 42 seems small.
When I bought it that’s all they had. And it was bigger then what I use to have, I had a 32in.
I just recently bought this mower how long did the first belt last you?
Mine 2 days after I started using it
It broke the second time i used the mower. I backed up without turning the blades off.
probably 5 or 6 uses

Is this common with the 100 series? It seems like I see the belt issue a lot.
Tiene marcha..atrás ???
Si
Thank you sir
It’s $56 now in 2024

You in Texas?
I paid $63 for my belt. Same as yours.
That’s expensive, I get mine from mower repair shops. Last time I bought one was $45

Can you please send me the link of the product from Amazon 🙏

Why not disconnect the deck and slide it out from under the tractor. 10 minute job.
I did not know it was that simple. Thanks for the tip. I took it off the other day and I did save lots of time.
How do you do that?
Why?
This video is no help at all.
Then have your wife watch this and then she can change the belt while you go get a manicure
Thanks!
