Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Bolens 13ag683h163 Lawn Tractor, drive belts, question pool

Question
I have to replace the 2 drive belts on this unit (it moves forward for only a few minutes, then as soon as I try to go up hill, it stops moving and I can smell the belts burning up). My question is, when I go to take apart the unit (theses belts are on top just under where you ride) - do I remove everything underneath or above to replace the belts?

Answer
Hello Mark:

Sorry for the Delay. This Question was Located in the Question Pool. Remove the Access Plate Between the Seat and Steering Tower. Remove the Cutter Deck and Replace the Belts from the Under Side of the Mower. Having the Access Plate Removed will Allow Better Access and Light for Replacing the Belts. You can View a Breakdown of this Unit at this Site Addy; http://www.buymtdonline.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Home_Bolens_10101_19502_-1 and Select the Use Our Detailed Parts Finder. Then Enter the Model Number (13ag683h163) and Click Search. Then Double Click on your Model. 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
