Keep burning up deck belts on 20yr old John Deere rider rx75. What size belt should I be using

  • Tom Witt
    Tom Witt Aug 29, 2016

    I just broke 3 new belts before I realized that the pulley that moves in to tighten the belt when engaging the lever was worn on the bottom. The lower half of the pulley was angled and the lower lip was almost gone. The belts would shred on the bottom edge before breaking. Once I replaced the pulley the belt tracked straight and all is well.

Park brake switch is the most likely culprit,any other would cause the tractor to not turn over in the crank position.

Hi and welcome to FixYa, I am Kelly

By secondary belt I am assuming you need the deck belt routing. Here is a picture of the front deck belt routing: http://opebycrigby.tripod.com/decks/jd/jdf525.jpg

SOURCE: I need the deck belt

I fiound some beautiful pictures in a manual for the 48" mower deck by John Deere. I haven't
found the 42" diagrams yet, but I can TELL you how it goes on (or is supposed to). Loosen the sheaves (pulleys) and belt guides. The inside of beltl go on back side of each of th 2 blade pulleys. On the discharge side it will come around to the back side of smaller pulley. On left side it will come to back side of the foward pulley. Then it will go around the jacksheave on the engine shaft. Just remember, th notched side or inside of belt will always go to the v side of pulley and the back side or flat side of belt will go to the flat pulleys. Good luck

My rx75 runs well but will not engage the deck is it electronic?

The mower deck is 100% manually controlled with the yellow control handle. The linkage may be out of adjustment a lot, especially if new belts are now broken in. When engaged, the blade drive belt should be quite taunt,but not like a banjo string. Adjustment is easy and can be found on the operators manual.

Replace mower deck belt

Take the old one off, measure it and round down to the next size which you can purchase from a dealer, online, or at a general small equipment supplier. There is no trick to getting it off and on, merely a tensioning pulley on a spring that you push on to create enough slack to get it off a pulley.
