8 Mower Deck Repair

Idler Pulley Service

Inspect the idler pulleys by removing the belt and careful-

ly rotating the pulley by hand. If the bearing has a

noticeable “tick,” feels rough or gritty, or wobbles, it

should be replaced. New bearings may feel stiff but will

rotate smoothly.

Refer to Figure 3 for specific assembly and part informa-

tion.

1. Remove the mower deck (see Mower Deck Removal

and Installation).

2. For PTO idler pulley (B, Figure 13) service, remove

the PTO Belt as described in PTO Belt Service. For

arbor drive idler pulley (H) service remove the arbor

drive belt as described in Arbor Drive Belt Service.
