    Question:
    I have a Husqvarna R120S - 42" Swedish Articulating Rider Lawn Mower which I like but one problem I am having is the drive belt. I have no idea how to change the belt. I cannot get the belt over/under the pulley underneath the seat. Is there any instructions on how to do this? There is not one in the manual.

      It's actually not hard: Simply remove the bolt from the top of the transmission drive shaft and swing the tensioner arm out of the way.  Both belts are now free to be removed and/or replaced.

      For a diagram of this, see page 10 of the "Spare Parts" manual (the bolt I'm talking about is item #54 at the top of the picture).  If you no longer have the original Spare Parts manual that came with your mower (or never had it), you can find it on the Husqvarna website here: /pdf/documents/HUSI/HUSI2013_NAaa/HUSI2013_NAaa__9671818-01.pdf

      I hope this helps.

        Hi George.  I looked at their Parts Manual and Page 10 was about the plastic panels, and that page only has 15 parts shown.  Could you have meant Page 28, Titled 'Transmission'?  Also, the tensioner you mentioned about swinging out of the way, would that be item (part) 44?  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks.
