unit wouldn't steer

Found the bearing was worn out. had to pull the cowling off and gas tank to get to it from the top. The mower deck had to come off and then have to lean the unit over to get to the steering gear underneath. Also need a big breaker bar to remove the drive pulley so the belt would go on.

The original idler pulley had disintegrated which also damaged the upper drive belt.

1. I took off what was left of the old pulley (mostly plastic) and replaced it with the new all-metal pulley from e-Replacement Parts.
2. Then, I mounted the new upper drive belt.
3. From the time I placed my order on-line it only took two days for e-Replacement Parts to ship the new parts from Utah to me in Virginia and the next morning I quickly made the repair and had my lawn tractor running again.,

Job was to replace the old belts inspect and grease all moveing parts that needed lube.

I am very grateful for the videos you provided, they are very helpful.I had to remove the seat as shown to get to all parts easily. My mower had rusted screws that needed to be removed by cuting them off and replaceing. The main drive belt had to be wiggled around the variable speed pully and there was a hidden guide bar that had to be removed to extract and replace the drive belt. The rest was a piece of cake. I have had an excellent experience with your company and have told all my friends of you.I also repaired my electric range with your parts that fit perfectly.Thanks and keep up the good work.ps I am 72 years old.
