I followed this video exactly as you did and it worked perfectly. My lawnmower shop wanted 700.00 to change fix. I spent 25.00 and 45 minutes and it's good as new. I changed two pulleys.
That’s awesome! I’m glad you were able to save almost $700 by doing it yourself! Thank you for watching and be sure to check out my other mower maintenance videos and give this video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!
This is the best video I’ve seen on this problem. Simple, straight forward and no annoying music or dad jokes. Great job!
Thank you I appreciate it! I try to make all my videos short and to-the-point. Thank you noticing and please consider giving the video a thumbs up so it can easily reach other viewers and continue to grow the channel. Thank you!
Thanks for the help. Your video helped me see the underside clearly. I had the same problem but it turns out I replaced the drive belt and fed it UNDER the brake/drive bar hidden by the chassis. It wore the belt out in less than a year. Be sure you feed that belt over the bar, toward the engine, and away from the deck.
Glad I found this video. My Husqvarna started making the exact same sound midway through this summer, and I just kind of ignored it because it was still operating fine aside from the noise & rattle. Now that mowing season is basically over I can bring it in the garage and tear it apart to verify and fix. Thanks!
I'm glad the video was helpful and I hope it fixes the problem! Thank you for watching and please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven't already! Thank you!
I haven't tried this fix yet, but I believe this is the solution to the problem.
- Whether it works or not, great video, nice walk through! 👍

Just wanted to say thanks. This really helped me. I thought the worst when my tractor made a horrific noise. It turns out the belt had simply slipped off one of the pulleys, but I wouldn't have recognized what the problem was with out this video. Much appreciated!
Secret Squirrel glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching and please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thanks again!
@@5MinuteFixit I definitely gave this a thumbs up!
Good video, I had the exact same problem. Thought it might be a pulley, but now I'm 100%. I see below comments on the machine just not going forward or reverse. I had that problem too. Mine was the clumps of grass under the brake which was causing the pulleys to slip. Also that little pull wire in the back was rusted at the trani and greased that help, something worked because it works now.
I’m glad the video was helpful. That’s a good tip about checking the pull wire to the transmission too! Thanks for watching and please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already!

I appreciate your help! I have the same symptom on my lawn tractor!
Thanks for watching, I’m glad you found it helpful!
Thanks for confirming my suspicion. I been having the noise for a few years. Started off a bit quiet then progressively gotten louder. It’s so loud now I can’t even compare it to anything. (I thought the trans was going back as my forward and reverse is also getting a bit jammed. I have to press the brake all the way down, then forward all the way down before I can reserve at times.) I have a new drive belt since last session and today decided it to watch a quick video on changing it. I knew it will be simple but just want to see a video to confirm in case of any “gotchas”.
In the video is where I saw these three pulleys. I’m no mechanic so I never thought about other pulleys besides the deck. I quickly ordered three new pulleys from Amazon for my YHA22V46.
I google many times before what the issue could be and came up with zero results (not knowing about the pulleys).
So, again, thank you for confirming it was the drive tensioner pulley, or middle one. Whatever it would be called. I will still replace all FOUR since they are ordered all ready. Under $40 shipped for all three. PLUS found a forth one. I guess I should had looked underneath with my eyes, and not just feel around. The forth one, small one closest to rear, was actually the one needing replacement. (YTA22v46)

No problem! I’m glad you were able to save yourself some time and money! Thank you for watching and please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!
Awesome and helpful for my diagnosis
C P glad you found it helpful! Thank you for watching!
Very helpful video! My Husqvarna lgt2554 is starting to make a rattling noise, I suspect this could be the problem. I've had it 10 year's, it's been a really good mower. Thanks
Thank you for watching! Hopefully it’s an easy fix!
Could u tell me where the clutch brake spring attaches? Mine broke..thanks!
I need to know how to change the tension spring. Mine broke and I have the replacement, just need to know how to get it back on. Any help would be appreciated
Thank You !!
Thank you for watching, I'm glad it was helpful! Please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven't already! Thank you!
Great video! Starting at 2:12 You show some good shots of that long clutch return spring. It looks like spring has one end with more of an open hook and the other end has a more closed hook: do you know which end goes where on the tractor?
I changed my pulleys just as you show, but have questions for you or your readers. The first pulley that has the metal V belt guard rubs the back side of the belt and creates heat. Is this normal or what can I do? Also the clutch petal arm still vibrates a little more than I think is normal. Your thoughts or suggestions on this. Thanks
Worked perfectly for the grinding sound, it was a bad pulley. Now the pedal is bouncing and I hear a slapping sound. Any ideas? Thanks excellent video.
Do the rest of those plastic pulleys just unscrew like that? i.e. you don't have to mess with the bolt on the top side of the plastic pulley? I need to replace all three of mine do to a brief fire that caused them to melt a little. It was from the leaves and front exhaust.
Did you Remove your blade brakes and the cable I’m thinking about it.
Thanks so much I couldn't get mine off it just wanted to spin and spin the bolt that is.
Thank you for watching, I'm glad it was helpful! Please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven't already! Thank you!
I have an Ariens 42" tractor style mower. I'm told its the same as Husqvarna so these pulleys should fit-right? My understanding is that these things are pretty generic. Thanks!
Your unit has 3 pulleys, If someone wanted to just go ahead and replace all 3 while the deck is out and off where would the "3rd" one come from?
It fits as it should
How do I know if it's the belt or the pulley on my Husqvarna that's need replacement
My YTH 24 48’s front idler pulley has a chunk that melted from friction and popped the belt off. I have to replace the pulley but the nut and bolt holding the pulley just spins and I can’t get the pulley off. I can’t get my hand or anything else to the top of the bolt. Anyone else have this problem and know how to get the nut off the pulley bolt? Thanks!
Everyone must have this pulley bad as they are on back order forever! I've already been waiting ove a month. THanks for the heads up on this I was having trouble tracking down the source of the noise. How many hours are most of you on when this happens? I'm at 80 hrs and have had the transmission out twice and replaced seals replaced one of the variators and this pulley has made noise since about 50 hours I just couldn't locate it. SMH. YTA22v46. I'm going to go through the deck this winter detail it and check valve lash and will probably sell it on next Spring haven't been at all happy with it other than the engine.
I believe I was at roughly 125hrs or so when this pulley began making noticeable noise. Was your transmission slipping? If so watch this video, it may be what is causing it to slip:

i have a d105 with a brand new drive belt installed. it has the proper belt, but its too loose and the mower will barely drive.. is there a way to tighten the tension on the drive belt? ty
This could be the culprit…check this first: czcams.com/video/OrAI14ZEGYM/video.html
Mine made noise after changing the belt. I think Husqvarna belts vary a little in length. I need to order another one and see if it stops. Mines a manual 42" cut. The cable could be stretched. I greased all the spindles and pulleys. Didn't help it. 🐀🐾
The drive belt keeps slipping I think the issue is the parking brake tensioner spring or the idler pulley spring, I can’t find either on Amazon. Do you think this will fix the belt jumping?
What model was this? Is the PTO electric? Thanks.
It is the YTH23v48, yes it has the electric PTO. Hopefully this helps, thank you for watching!
@@5MinuteFixit Thank you and it does.
impact wrench fgs
My problem is the one that is closest to the motor
It’s basically the same process.
@@5MinuteFixit I have the same issue, my front (idler) pulley is shredded. I bought a replacement, but can't for the life of me get the old one off. Any tricks to that? I think it's a bolt with a square shoulder, but either I can't get it pulled down enough to lock in place while I take the nut off or the square opening it comes through is "stripped". Thanks!
@@offrd97 double check that the bolt for that pulley isn’t reverse thread.
@@5MinuteFixit I'll check that when I get home tonight. That would explain how I "broke it free" when I had a wrench on it, and also why the little impact gun I used the next day didn't work either. I'll let you know either way, thanks for your reply!
I’m not sure if it is I was just thinking it could be depending on which way it’s spinning.
Wow, 5 minute fix this week and a 5 minute fix next week doing the noisy one beside the replacement. Should have done both at the same time. Also your mower cleaning needs to be stepped up, get rid of that dried grass, that causes a lot of problems with those mowers.
I agree with the cleaning of the mower, now I have a blower that I use to remove all the grass clippings. Thank you for watching and please consider giving the video(s) a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!
