- John Deere 265. John Deere part # M71135. $25 on eBay. Credit to George Kirk's post in SSBtractor.com. Take off the deck and jack up the front on to jack stands. There's a single idler pulley near the motor pulley to remove. The two adjustable pulleys in the middle have a guide bracket that needs to be removed. Unhook the spring, then loosen the nut and it should slip off. You don't need to remove ANY additional pulleys. Unclip the small wire harness at the front and slip the new belt over the front pulley. Then you have to feed the belt through a guide in the middle before feeding the belt around the cooling blades above the transmission. Loop the belt through one blade at a time and turn the belt to position to the next blade. It will go on but it takes a little patience. One of the center pulleys is flat and the other is V'd. Just fit the belt so the v side goes to the v pulley and the flat side to the flat pulley. No trick or loops. Good luck

Thank you. It saved me about $300.
just got an old 265 and of course the belt is toast. this is going to save me time, thanks.
Five years later your a life saver! Thank you
You saved me today! Thanks!
This was a real saver for us. Our transmission belt broke and tore up some wiring. Fixed the wiring just fine and with your video we made sure we had everything else back in place as it should be. Thank you
JASON!! Bought my 265 summer of 93. These belts pop, you’re just left sitting there like huh?,what?, FOOL! Trying your way here in 019, my 2nd belt. I did the disassembled install in 05. You’ve answered the questions I had then, so “on the back and slide “ this time. Thanks man.
Thank you very much. Last time I pulled the PTO clutch I put it back wrong and had to buy another. You saved me a bunch.
Thanks for the video. Took longer than 10 minutes but without the video, I would have been lost. Can’t thank you enough.
Fantastic video! Just installed belt on 93 jd 320...exact components as shown!!!
You made process simple, easy & stress-free! Thank you
GLAD I FOUND THIS POST ,DIDN'T WANT TO REMOVE THE SEAT PAN AGAIN ,THANKS
I have a 245 JD, but it looks exactly the same. I've been doing research on how to put my new belt on, (old one broke during use) and all I have found so far is crap about removing the pan/pulling the clutch, and it just didn't look to me like I should have to do that. This video is much appreciated!
Good information, It worked for me after a little struggling but then i didn't jack it up. It was a tight fit and it helped to turn the engine with a socket on the clutch so the belt would slide over the fan blades easier.
Awesome explanation. You made this install SO much easier.
The over the fan blade technique works like a dream. Takes about 3 minutes to actually get the belt in place.
Thanks for the video, very helpful. It took me longer than 10 minutes because I didn't read your explanation about the guide bracket, had a lot of trouble separating the electrical plug and some trouble getting the belt over the fan and onto the rear pulley. Installing the spring went much easier than I thought it would.
Thanks. I have to do this in my father in laws.
Great Video!! i just did this. screwed around with getting the belt over the fan on the rear end for about 5 min. Could not get it in place with ease . I knew my PTO will come off easily,so i took the pto off and went on like a charm. Now if your PTO won't just slip off i recommend putting in the extra effort to get the belt over the Fan on the rear end. it can be done.
So glad I found you video. I have a Sabre but am going to try this! Thanks!
Thanks homie! It worked!
Like a charm, Thank you Jason!
We tried your method it worked, but it is not real easy to get the belt over the fan blades, but it is possible. Thank you!
Very helpful video - thank you. The process is nearly identical for my John Deere 240 (just no fan in the rear). Two details that may be helpful for others: 1) with tractor in neutral and with ebrake on there's no need to loosen the spring tensioner, at least on the 240. 2) Nuts only need to be loosened, not removed!
This approach sure makes short work of what I thought was going to be an horrific job. The hardest part was having to put a toboggan under each rear wheel to tow it to the garage (the lever to disengage did not work as the manual said) and having to cut off the original shredded belt; and cleaning up the grass and gunk from under the frame. There was only a minor difference between your 265 and my 285; that being an additional wire guide.. Thanks for the video
Thanks Jason! I started with the fan pulley and ran out of slack originally. :) Both my idlers are shot, so $25 for a pair of those (AM115682 on the 285 model)...hope that was the source of the belt breakage in the first place. Someone sharpie'd the belt size on the under-carriage....looks like the previous owner did this a time or two, and didn't think to check the idler pulleys.
Thanks man helped a lot
Super great video! Worked GREAT! YOU DA MAN!!!
I tried this method and it almost worked. My problem is that the belt got stuck between the fan and the pulley. I had to take of the riders platform, gas tank, and fan to get the belt over the back pulley (not a big deal…just an extra 9 bolts). If your belt is still on, I would recommend taking a video of how it is all routed because it’s not exactly self explanatory for a newbie.)
Edit….there may have been something I could have done to get the extra inch of slack I needed, but for the life of me I couldn’t figure it out.
Nice video
I owe you. I'm in John Deere heaven again. Thank you.
WOW !! Just saved me hours , and probably a ticket to HELL! The next beer is on me !! THANKS
This should work for other deere riders
My 265's belt is loose and the tractor will no longer climb a modest hill, so I'll be looking at this and inspecting all the idlers and spring. Need to learn the best way to remove the mower deck first.
Also hoping the trans fan blade moves as you say; my trans release lever in the back does nothing and the trans can't be disengaged from the wheels. Thanks for the video.
Must be common
Mine released won’t either
You was a big help no ok
very informative, but it would be a really good video if you had better lighting, just putting it out there. thanks.
Yeah im gonna stick to laying brick lol. Im not mechanically inclined at all 😓
Wouldn't it be easier to start from the rear and loop the belt over the trans fan?
Nah
I just tried that
The belt won’t go over the clutch
So , I found this video
Cause I didn’t want to pull the clutch
how do you tighten up the pto clutch or keep it from turning.
I need help adjusting my deck height, please.
The knob between to loose to adjust. I hope I did not break it.
How do I adjust it
Hey my name is Tony i have a question i have a 285 john Deere im trying to put the drive belt on it does it go on the same way as the 265 john Deere
have to change one on a 285 thanks
The front idler pulley. Is it supposed to be solid secured in the adjustment slot or able to slide?
It's solid if I remember right. It's the rear pulleys that are attached to the spring that hold the tension.
what size belt does it take? I can't find the right size
Mine got stuck in between the fan blade and the pulley. And now I can’t get it out!
What size belt do i need?, please
What is the part# on that belt
Will it start with out the drive belt on?
Yes the engine will start but the mower will not move
What size belt did you use for the john deere 265
I have the same question
@@Luke-ig7lime to
your J/D is easy not all are like this newer gt225 are a pain
i don't see how you did it with out taking off the pto,
By running the belt straight back and going over the fan blades one blade at a time. The fan blades will turn by hand. You then run the belt thru the pulleys and set the spring. Its very easy.
@@jasont7940 I have a 245 GT & I thinking from what I see ??? The steering assembly has to be disconnected?? Did you forget to mention that?
@@DouglasVanderlip on the 265 its no issue. On yours in not sure. Sorry I can't help you on that.
Worked great on my 285, saved me alot of work. Thank you!
Don’t even have to do that.
This video has no tools , Just a pointer finger and he will tell you what to do. Point here and do what I say. Still helpful but a lazy way to really show someone the step by step instructions. Good luck people and don't forget to watch the finger and hopefully better lighting then from his jitter bug cell phone.
