    Replace the drive belt on a Husqvarna YTH22V46 Yard Tractor. The process is the same for all hydrostatic Husqvarna Yard Tractors. This video will show you how to replace the drive belt on a Husqvarna Yard Tractor. No tools are needed, other than a pair of ramps or a jack to lift the tractor.
    You'll need to watch one of my other videos, How to Remove the Deck on a Husqvarna Tractor, as the deck needs to be removed before replacing the drive belt:

    One thing I would add, is that instead of trying to put the belt on the back end from underneath , just remove your battery and then remove the battery holder and you can put the belt on so much easier. The battery holder just clips in.

    Great video, Dennis. On my YTH 21K46, I can remove the battery (located beneath the seat), slide the plastic battery box up and out of the rear fenders, and have unobstructed access to the top of the transaxle. This makes it much easier to remove/reinstall the drive belt in that rear area. Hope this helps!

    Dennis Coffey, I've watched many videos over the years and most of them suck, but yours was very well done!!! I never hesitate to criticize poor video makers because they waste people's time. Your video was terrific and very helpful in teaching me how to put a drive belt on my tractor. Your links for ramp and belt were perfect. I double checked and triple checked the belt to make sure it would fit my tractor and your link is perfect. Ordering a ramp, its a good idea instead of my lame hand jack. Getting a belt too! Thanks for taking time to make a good video, I really appreciate it!

    Dennis Coffey, This week I watched many of your videos before tackling the 5 year maintenance on my 2015 Husqvarna YTA22V46. You made my life so much easier and saved me lots of money in the process. Although my mower is similar to the YTH22V46, it does have some differences, when following your video for the drive belt replacement I found that removing the battery and battery box gave me clear access to drive belt in the back and it was easy peasy to route the belt in place. Let me know if you want the parts list as posted under the hood of the mower.

My daughter and I needed to change the drive belt on her tractor, and we would have been thoroughly frustrated doing the job without this video.There was only one thing that was not exactly as Dennis described. My daughter's tractor is model YTH 24V48, and has an electrically activated clutch that starts the mower deck with a push of a button rather than a manual actuator. We found that one brace and one electrical cable need to be removed and reinstalled to replace the belt on the engine pulley.

    Dennis what a great video! I have the exact riding lawn mower in your video. I have had the mower for about 8 years now and over the years I have replaced the deck and drive belts. You have a great video by-the-way on replacing the deck belt. I have replaced both the deck and drive belts without removing the deck. It is a little bit of a pain the replace the drive belt with the deck still attached but it can be done if you support the front of the mower with jack stands and the rear with jack stands but place the jack stands under the crossmember which is in-front-of the transaxle. My solution for removing he belt from the transaxle fan was to remove the battery and battery tray and you have direct access to the transaxle fan and pulley and lower the deck as low as possible.

    Dennis, thanks for the well done video! It certainly helped me get my drive belt on and off (several times in the past few days). The order of your steps and the info on how to deal with the guard on the engine pulley were very useful. Turns out I had cracked transaxle mounting brackets that were resulting in the drive belt coming off the transaxle. AutoHelix has a very good video on how to repair that.

    Great video. I have a few additions. Ariens 46" rider. Same basic setup. I was randomly stranded in a field that i rode to. 1/4 mile away. Belt snapped. Had an extra in the shed, always have an extra belt. Thanks to this vid and 18% phone battery i accomplished this with 0 tools, not removing the deck, and not raising the unit. I see the comments about removing the battery under the seat. Couldn't do it. Kohler engine, battery is under the hood. Gas tank is under the seat.
    Step 1- drop the deck.
    Step 2- attach a ratchet strap to the clutch pedal to keep it pressed
    Step 3- route the belt from the center to the front engine pulley, left it around the shaft, you need the play.
    Step 4- route the belt straight to the rear pulley. My model i was able to access the fan from a cutout on each side of the mower above the axle. Enough to get the belt around the fan and pulley. Those blades were very pliable btw but age and wear will play a factor.
    Step 5- i routed the belt around the 3 center pulleys from front to rear.
    Step 6- removed the strap, laughed and finished the job.
    Since the belt snapped i didn't know how to route it and because i couldn't raise and didn't remove the decki needed this vid. I had to feel my way through the job. Saw a bunch but none were useful. Awesome vid, can't thank you enough. Just know that in a pinch you can do it in the middle of nowhere. Good luck everyone!

    I found an easier way of getting your belt off. When you in the middle of your yard and it snaps you can just grab one end of it and ever so easy pull it out. Lol. Great video. Now I see how to put it back on. 👍

    • @dwcoffey
      @dwcoffey  Před 3 lety

      Hi Mike, I'm sorry I just saw this comment. Thanks for watching. It sounds like the belt may be a touch too short.

  • @pete4693
    @pete4693 Před měsícem +1

    I don't know if you mentioned it, but I just got done doing mine and it's important c people understand that when replacing you need to first put the belt up over the clutch in front and leave out of pulley to give it extra movement. Then snake the belt to back and from back to front begin placing belt on pulley. If you don't flip the belt over the clutch in the front to begin with, when you begin putting the belt on the pulleys from back to front, when you go to put the belt on the front if you got this big clutch, that's gonna be in your way and not enough play in the belt to be able to get it over that and if you could you probably stretch it so much then it would no longer be any good. Good luck I hope I didn't make this more confusing. Overall, I really liked your video dude. Thank you very much. Was a great help. Got me thinking.

    Great video! Pulled my mower deck off so that I can replace the belts & blades. Then saw my ground drive belt was in horrible condition! It's 20y OLD and this old lady never had it in the shop. When shop guy told me how much he would charge me I went YIKES...and decided to do it myself.

    Mr. Coffey, thank you for making this video. At the end of last season, the drive belt popped off when I engaged the brake. I had to send it to my local CO-OP to have put back on. My first mow this season, it popped off again. I'll be replacing it myself thanks to you.

    • @dwcoffey
      @dwcoffey  Před 4 lety +1

      Thanks for watching, Daniel! The most common reason I've seen to cause these belts to come off is improper routing...so just double check your belt routing well.

    • @mr.potter9426
      @mr.potter9426 Před 4 lety +1

      Dennis Coffey I saw a video,can't find it now, about a mounting problem,threaded aluminum and bolts in the rear end assembly as being a possible problem for frequent the belt popping off,do you have a remark about that possible problem?

    • @dwcoffey

  • @Dinoxt12

    Just lay the mower on it's side and you don't have to crawl under it and you can sit on a milk crate and change out the drive belt while you are having a Beer.
