you probably have to loosen the motor or the pulley so the belt will come loose. move the pulley toward the other pulley so you have slack in the belt. replace belt, spread the pullieys, there is a tool for spreading them, and then tighten the pulley you moved to get it off.you probably have to loosen the motor or the pulley so the belt will come loose. move the pulley toward the other pulley so you have slack in the belt. replace belt, spread the pullieys, there is a tool for spreading them, and then tighten the pulley you moved to get it off.

Yes. Hopefully your machine has a removable bottom panel. remove the panel and get your old belt off and make note of the belt code. It will look something like this: STS 60 S3M471 I sell replacement belts and you can visit me at breadmachineshelp.com
Unfortunately there is no easy way to do that.I find that removing the seat and rear fenders is the best way to get at the engine pulley.I remove the deck and the deck belt then drop the belt from the engine to the front.Make sure to get the belt inside the tension pulley before you put it on the front pulley.You will need a small pry bar or large screw driver to get the belt on the last pulley.Before you use one of those wrap it in an old rag or some leather(old belts work)to keep from damaging the belt.I would suggest replacing the deck belt while you are down there,I always change both as it is not much fun to change the belts.
Is this a direct drive or belt drive saw? If belt drive, you can remove the belt and try spinning the motor by hand then turn it on. Sometimes they can get stopped in a dead spot. Do not get your hands/fingers in the way when turning it on. You may need all of them someday.
on the v6- 3.1 yes you do. here is how to change it yourself, first of all, release tension on the belt tensioner. remove belt from pulleys, place a floor jack under engine on motor mount side to take off. put a piece of wood on jack to protect engine. jackup to engine with very slight pressure to hold it while removing mount. take off mount, remove old belt, put new belt on. the tensioner can be moved with a 3/8 drive in tensioner hole. after belt is on replace mount. then lower jack down. thats it!!
If the brush won't spin at all, it's either the drive belt or the roller beater brush is clogged. Pet hair can quickly clog a vacuum. Turn the unit over and see if the brush will rotate by hand. If yes, it's probably the belt. Also look for debris and clear as much out as possible. You may have to remove the bottom plate and clean the bottom of the unit out. If you do have to go that far, it would be best to replace the drive belt and thoroughly clean the vacuum.
Your local mechanic would be able to change the belt for you, it is not an expensive repair. If you are going to attempt the job yourself ensure you look at the configuration before removing the old belt, I would suggest you draw yourself a picture of the set up before removing the old belt. When you have removed the old belt spin the pulleys to ensure you dont have a noisy one causing the problem. Be sure to have the correct tools before attempting the job. If you don't have the tools then it is not worth attempting the repair yourself.
