Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Yard-Man riding mower belt replacement, center bolt, select shop


Question
I have been through 23 pages of questions and don't see this one.  I have a 1999 Yard-Man riding mower, model 13A-325-402 with a broken belt (not the deck belt)  The manual that came with it does not show belt guards like the ones on my mower.  My belt guard appears not to be in 1 piece but 2 seperate guards that do not appear to drop down.  How do I remove the guard so I can get the belt out.  Thanks

Answer
Hello Ronnie:

You can View a Breakdown/IPL of the Mower at this Site Addy, http://www.smallenginepartswarehouse.com/parts.asp  and Select Shop Online Parts and Accessories. Now Select the Model Tab. Select the OEM (MTD) and Enter the Model Numbers (13A-325-402). Now Double Click on the Model in the Results Area. If I Understand your Problem Correctly, On Some Mowers you have to Remove the Engine Pulley Center Bolt and Lower the Pulley to Remove the Ground Drive Belt from the Engine Pulley. If this is Not the Location of the Guard, then Please Advise me of the Guard Location. I am Not familiar with Any Other Guards like you Described, but I can Locate it in the Breakdown if Required. If you Hit a Snag or this Does Not Correct the Problem,  I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Hope this Helps. Let me Know What Happens, Please. May the All Mighty Bless You and Yours. Thanks.

Good Luck
