    Question:
    Motion Drive Belt Came Off and is Wedged Between Pulley and Transmission - Help!

    42" Riding Lawn Mower (Model YTH22V42, product 960430100): Motion drive belt jumped off transmission input pulley (under battery) and is wedged tightly between the lower side of the pulley and transmission casing.

    How do I remove the transmission input pulley?

    Are there any other suggestions on how to un-wedge the motion drive belt?

    Thank you!
    Frank

      Check your model as when I search the number given I get a grass catcher and repost the mower model number.

        Thank you for your reply, I corrected my questions.  Here's the proper numbers: (Model YTH22V42, product 960430100).

      To remove the pulley it probably easier to drop the transaxle to get to it. On top of the input shaft there is a snap ring (item 87) that needs removing so the fan and pulley can be removed. Be carefully not to lose the wave washer (item 86).

      Problem Solved!  Thanks Eugene.

      I removed the battery and battery housing (plastic bucket easily removed by pressing in the side latches) to provide easy access to the fan and pulley.  I used a 1.2 mm snap ring pliers and removed snap ring (#87).  Fan (#85) and pulley (#84) lifted off easily by hand.  I lifted up the drive belt, re-installed pulley, fan, snap ring and re-installed drive belt.  The tractor now moves forward and backwards ... imaging that!

      It's always so easy with a little help from your friends.

      <The End>
