We show a full how to video on changing the drive belts on a 30" Craftsman R1000 rear engine riding mower.
These are similar to many of the other Troy bilt and Cub Cudet rear engine riding mower process.
We go over the full steps on how to get your mower back moving if the drive belt brakes.
The spring installation is also shown here along with how to get to the area to repair everything.
We give a full diagnostic and repair of the issue with tips and Information.
Upper drive belt part number 954-05040 can be purchased at amzn.to/3Xh3SRz
Lower drive belt part number 954-04331 can be purchased at amzn.to/3x5hGnH
I would purchase OEM elsewhere because these ones seems to be pricey

Where were you 2 yrs ago when I needed this video!!! Thank you mate for making this video for anyone that needs to do this job!!! Great vid mate!!!
Thanks for watching! Wish I would have done it sooner!
@@IndRepair Craftman R110
It’s a 30 inch
Changed one of these today after viewing your tutorial. Thanks for the help!
Awesome! Glad to help!!
Always great. A tip to you. I cut the smooth ends off my torch tips. Take care.
Yes sir!!
Great video thank you
Thanks for watching!
@IndRepair You wouldn't happen to have a shot of the carb linkage to the plate? These videos have been saving my sanity; thank you for doing them!
Which engine does yours have? Same as the one in the video or another style?
@@IndRepair Thank you so much for the reply. I believe it's the 4p90jua 420cc, can verify later this afternoon. The parts diagrams/photos I am finding do not show the plate and where the linkage arms connect, spring, and cable on the plate. Can send pics/vid if needed. EDIT: just rewatched this; indeed it is the same engine as in the video.
We have a video on carburetor cleaning/replacing at czcams.com/video/JQ9apzBtZEA/video.htmlsi=24r1MBjqos9YExcc This is not exactly your same model number but linkages should be exactly what you have
Cute how you spun that pulley bolt off WITH a swivel to boot. That don't happen irl.
No tick photography here just how it is done. Follow the process and it works for you also
I desperately need your help with my Kohler KT740-3032 on my Gravely ZTX-52 I recently purchased. I purchased it knowing it needed work and decided to take on the project myself despite never working on an engine before.
I’ve cleaned the carb, replaced the gaskets, replaced the smart choke thermostat, replaced the fuel filter and pump. I was able to do so all thanks to you and your videos. However, it still barely wants to turn over without carb cleaner for an extra boost.
When it does run it immediately cuts out when under any sort of load. Even disengaging the parking brake cuts the engine out. I know for a fact it has two blown head gaskets but other than that I do not know why it won’t consistently turn over and stay running under load.
I would get those head gaskets replaced and go from there. Depending on how bad they are blown this could be the majority of the issue (sounds like you have something electrical going on too but one thing at a time)
what a pain that is. You have patience.
Much small engine work is like this but wouldn't have it any other way. Thanks for watching!
You ever fixed one of these before? You installed the belt upside down.
Haha right on!
After the deck belt came off at 5:00 minutes, why was there a need to drop that deck pully to replace the lower drive belt? Is it just easier to put the belt on or will it not fit around the pully while it is bolted in?
I believe there is a piece of the frame that protrudes down and sits over the pulley so the belt doesn't jump off. The belt must be in the pulley groove to slip up into position. This is the way most of them are made. On this one I honestly cannot remember if that is the case or if they are just easier to change that way. I started doing it this way a long time ago and have ever since. Thanks for watching!
@@IndRepair Thank you for replying. I have some belts on the way and this video has been very helpful already.
If that pulley that should move up and down and doesn't would that cause the blade not to spin? PS thank you what an amazingly well done precise video
No, that will cause the variable drive system issues but will not affect the deck
@@IndRepair Thank you Great video
@@labla8940 Appreciate that! Thanks for watching!
Just finished a generator. Ready to change the oil. Anything you recommend? I’m in Ohio so was thinking 10-30. Thanks
10W30 is fine, many times in colder areas with a generator like this I see people use full synthetic 5W30 to give a larger temperature range for use
@@IndRepair thanks. It’s a flip, so I want it to be dependable in any weather. I’ll try the 5-30.
Is there a part number for a new deck? Where the shoot cover is the deck is starting to rot
There is, do you have your model number by chance?
@@IndRepair it’s the craftsman R110 but I’m pretty sure that mower your working on is the exact same one
The deck number for the black deck is 983-05040A
@@IndRepair thank you so much!
Glad to help!
I have ordered mutiple belts that say tgey are replacements etc etc.. but nothing fits!! Please help.. the two or 3 belts i got were 5/8 x35” and i cant get it around the pulleys…
What is the model number of your mower?
I gambled with aftermarket belts that said they fit and they were either too thick or too tight. I think it's best to just bite the bullet and get the actual MTD brand belts. They are twice as expensive though, but you really only want to do this PITA job once.
I see that issue every week 3 or 4 times
@@92tripblkvert ty.. i did just that .. 58.00 for belt because Sears charges 12.shipping.. SMH! but i need this done the leaves are about to fall .. !!
@@IndRepair r1000 model 247.90000 (i recall)
Martin,
Can you please confirm that the main belt we are trying to remove in this video is the “lower” belt? In addition, can you confirm the part number and a link to purchase it? The links you posted no longer work. Thanks!
I am referring to the belt you are slipping on to the spindle at the 9:42 point in your video. Please confirm the part number.
The belt at 9:42 is the lower belt yes
I replace both belts in this video. The one at 9:42 is the lower belt, yes. I updated the links but they are expensive on Amazon only ones I could find there for listings. I would source them elsewhere
Thanks for your help!
What the measurement of each of those belts?
I would make sure to use OEM belts for this setup since the variable drive system is very picky about the belt used and the aftermarket do not ever seem to work well. For 247.203690 (13B226JD299) - Craftsman R1000 the belt part numbers for the drive are 954-05040 & 954-04331
The transmission rearends in these mowers are weak as a wet kitten.
The hydro version has a decent transmission in it. These direct drive transmissions are decent, it is the double pulley actuator system that makes them fall flat
@@IndRepair I resold one of the hydrostatic units. It was pretty slick! I didn't even know they came with a hydrostatic until someone traded that one to me.
