This article will provide you with expert advice on how to replace or install your Husqvarna mower’s drive belt.
What Is The Husqvarna Lawn Mower Drive Belt?
The lawnmower’s drive belt is an integral part. It is a machine tool that binds engine and transmission shaft.
A drive belt’s main purpose is to transmit power from the engine transmission onto the blades of the lawnmower to allow it to advance and spin them.
Most commonly, the transmission shafts and blades are linked. This allows the drive belt rotate the blades, and pushes the mower forward.
Two Parts To Replace The Mower Drive Belt
Regular maintenance and inspection of the drive belt is important for the longevity and efficiency of your lawnmower.
It can be difficult to replace the drive belt. It is not difficult if you follow these steps. To make it easier to follow, we have divided the procedures into two sections.
Remove The Drive Belt
Step 1: Install the parking brakes
It is important to remove the drive belt by placing your lawnmower on a flat surface. You must also ensure that your lawn mower’s parking brake is activated.
Step 2: Disconnect the Bolts
Next, remove the bolts from the belt shield and take out the driving belt. The belt shield is a protective casing that covers the driving belt. The belt shield can be easily removed by removing the bolts.
Step 3: Remove the belt
It is important that you remember the exact location of your belt before you remove it. To make it easier to find the exact location, we recommend taking a picture.
Move the idler arm to ensure that the belt is loosen. Gently push down the belt onto the housing pulleys.
Installation Of The Drive Belt
Step 1: Wrap the Pulleys
Once the drive belt has been returned in good condition, it can be reinstalled, or replaced with a new one.
To ensure the drive belt is in the right position, you can refer to the earlier photo.
Step 2: Return the Idler Arms
Continue routing the belt by pushing the idler back in. After the belt has been properly installed, release the pressure from the idler to return it to its original position. Then fasten it securely.
Step 3: Review the Final Routing Configuration
Compare the routing configuration with the previous photo. Make sure that the belt is in its original position. There are no twists or knots.
Step 4: Replace the case
Remove the belt shield that acts as the case for the drive belt and make sure the bolt holes are located adjacent to the correct surfaces.
Step #5: Secure the Bolts
Secure the drive belt shield bolts. Make sure that the bolts are securely fastened to the casing. Now, your drive belt is back in excellent condition.
Replacing The Motion Drive Belt
It is essential to make sure that your mower’s motion drive belt is in top condition. Your mower will stop moving forward if it has a damaged belt. You should inspect your mower’s drive belt every so often and replace it if necessary.
Here are the steps to replace your motion drive belt.
How To Remove The Belt
As in the previous steps ensure that the tractor is placed on a flat surface. To avoid sudden motion, set the parking brakes.
Next, remove the clutch wire harness from the tractor’s right side to expose the anti-rotation link.
The belt should be released from the stationary idler and clutching idler. Next, lift the belt from its center span idler. Pull the belt toward the back and then release it from the transmission pulley.
Also, you must pull the engine pulley downwards to release the belt. You can now slide the belt towards your back, release the steering and then finally, release the tractor from it.
How To Install The Belt
The new belt should be connected from the tractor’s back to the front until it touches the steering plate. Next, connect the belt towards the rear of the tractor so that it touches the clutch pedal shaft. The belt should be pulled to the front. Wrap it around the engine pulley and electric clutch.
Slowly pull the belt toward the back of your tractor. The belt should be wrapped around the transaxle input pulley. The belt keeper must be secured to the belt. Replace the belt on the middle span idler, over the stationary idler and clutch idler.
Attach the clutch harness to the tractor’s right side and replace the anti-rotation link. Make sure the belt is securely fastened to the pulley grooves.
Why Lawn Mower Belts Are Breaking
Your lawn mower belt may not last for more than one year. Here are some common reasons.
Pulleys Wear and Tear
Early warning signs of wear and tear can save your lawn mower belt from becoming more serious. To ensure it runs smoothly, inspect the pulley regularly.
If the bearings of fully fail, friction can build up between the belt and pulley. The pulley cannot spin smoothly and can cause damage to the belt.
Missing Belt Guards
Your mower’s ability to work properly is dependent on the belt guards. The belt guard ensures that the belt stays in place. The belt guards can be removed and the belt may fall off.
Too Many Grass Clippings
Too many grass clippings on the deck can cause belt breakage, especially if they are on the deck covers or the pulleys. It is essential to regularly clean the deck.
