Mower deck belt replacement
Put the mower deck in the lowest position. (Blow all the accumulated grass out. I used my compressor air.) Pull the front anchor pins and pop the arms loose. Pull the anchor pin from the cutting level adjustment arm. And finally, pull the last two anchor pins to free the power deck.

Pull the power deck from under the tractor. Loosen the housing on the left side of the deck to make clearance for the new belt. Follow the diagram and put the belt on the correct pulley's.
Tighten the housing down again. (You may have to "spring" the keepers...upright, flexible pieces of thin metal next to the inside pulleys...to make room for the the new belt.)

Slide the deck back under the mower and line it up with the brackets and hanger rods. Put your new belt around the power pulley on the bottom of the engine. Reattached the front hangers and put your anchor pins in place. You may have to use a pry bar against the mower deck in order to stretch the belt a little. Attach the last anchor pins and use the lever to lift the deck. You are back in business.
p.s. While you have the deck out from under the tractor, you might as well sharpen the blades. I used my Dremel. Quick and easy.

Main drive belt worn.
The manual says to lower the drive belt over the electric clutch but I did not have enough slack in the belt to get it over the clutch. Spent needless time (on my back under the tractor) trying to get the belt off. Finally, took the electric clutch off and the belt came off and went back on with little effort. Manual should just tell you to take the clutch off to start with.

    Correct part, delivery cost a little high
    The part delivered was original equipment as ordered. Very pleased. Thought the delivery cost was a little high ($11 for a belt?)
