Question
The drive belt came off the front pulley. How do I release the tension a bit to get it back over the pulley and seated correctly?

Answer
Hello Mary:

Sorry for the Delay. This Question was Located in the Question Pool. Usually when you Depress the Clutch/Brake Pedal there is Enough Slack to Replace the Belt Around the Pulley. If it Does Not, then Remove the Pulley #14 or 22 and you should then have the Extra Slack to Replace the Belt. You can View a Breakdown/IPL of the 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 the Sectional File. Then Select the Section of the Mower you Wish to View Online. Select the Power Train. The Select Belt Drive and Idlers. If you Hit a Snag or this Does Not Correct the Problem, then I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Hope this Helps. Let me Know What Happens, Please. Thanks.

Good Luck

Respectfully

John
