I had to use a impact gun to get pulley off transmission no way to hold pulley, everything else pretty basic. Would not attempt if your not mechanically inclined. Put lawn tractor on stands and just look at drive system real good or take pictures before you start .

First I had to raise the rear of the tractor an remove the rear wheels. Remove the bearing cap an bearings from bottom pulley. Remove nut on top rear pulley both at rear of tractor. Then I removed the spring tensioner from the drive belt.Remove old belt an thread new belt up an around front pulley on motor that way you don\'t have to remo ve pulley on motor. Put the new belt on pulley and replace pulleys. Attach tensioner spring. Put wheels back on.To install new cut belt I just had to remove two pulley guards an remove one tensioner pulley.The pulley was held on with a nut an bolt, both very easy to get at. Remove old and replace new. Remember placement of belt to insure proper placement.The belt will fit in other ways but will only work in proper direction.Oops.Replace one pulley and pulley guards.No need to remove any springs in this application. You are ready to cut. The hole process took about 1-1/2 hours. It is best to have 3/8 an 1/4 inch socket sets.The 1/4 inch set works best on the cut deck.
