Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): electric clutch on JD 175, electric clutch, center bolt

Question
Iam trying to replace the drive belt my jd 175 hydro lawn tractor. Must I remove the electric clutch?  How can I pull it off?

Answer
Hello Larry:

Remove the Center Bolt from the PTO and the PTO should Slide Off for the Belt Replacement. You can View a Breakdown/IPL of the Engine and Mower at this Site Addy, http://jdpc.deere.com/jdpc/servlet/com.deere.u90490.partscatalog.view.servlets.H... and Enter the Model Numbers and Click Find. Then Select your Model from the Search Results Area. Then Select the Sectional File. Then Select the Section of the Mower you Wish to View Online. 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
