- In this video I explain step by step how to replace the deck belt on this craftsman by MTD 42" mower. It's very straightforward and is a job you can do to save some money!
If you happen to have the same model, my model is 13AN77XS093 (2018) model. The belt part number is 954-04060C
You can get this from Amazon:

I appreciate you posting this video. I just replaced my deck belt after watching this.
You're welcome! So glad to help. 😊
Thanks for posting! The camera angles helped me solve my issues!
You're welcome! Thanks for the great feedback... 😊
Watched the video several times and decided to bite the bullet and try myself for the first time. I have a Craftsman T100 36" and all worked out well. T100 only has one idler to loosen, which by the way, was a bear to undo. Who can beat the CZcams University? I did the job in 90 degree Florida sun so it's time for me to "take a bath". Thank you.
Awesome! Glad you were able to get it going. Oh yes, I have been a student of You Tube university several times! When I don't know how to do something, it's the first place I go.. 😊. I know a little bit about the FL sun.. we are here close to the western side..😎
Do you know how to tighten the pulley I bought a 38 inch belt for a 36 inch deck
@@kennethdorminy3003 If the belt is to big then you probably need to get the right belt. So I'm not sure what you're asking? Are the pulleys loose and wobbling around, or are you trying to tighten up the belt pattern because the belt is to big? If the belt is to big, then I wouldn't use it.
Thank you very much for this video. I’ve never changed the belt on my 42” mower before but this video made it go a lot faster. Took about an hour. Again, many thanks.
You're welcome!
OUTSTANDING VIDEO. VERY EASY TO FOLLOW THE PROCEDURE.
Awesome! Thank you for the great feedback.. 😀
@@JLPicard440 YOU DESERVE THIS KIND OF FEEDBACK. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
Thank u!
@@JLPicard440 I have to agree. This is one of the absolute best videos I’ve ever seen on “how to” repair something. And, this repair ain’t no joke. You made a GREAT video here.
Thanks, Rudy. Bought a new tractor last year, the deck belt broke a few days back. Didn't know how to fix so talked with a Neighbour to borrow is the trailer so I can take to the mechanics. Decided to research how to fix it and came across your video. Watched, and followed and was amazed to see I was able to put a new belt w/o any issue. Thanks for the details and step-by-step instructions. You did a great job. I saved time and money because of you. much appreciated!
You're welcome.. ! Glad to help😀. Thanks for the great feedback
Thanks to you my belt change went easy. In my book you da man.
Great to hear! Thank you and you're welcome.. 😀
I love your channel man. I like how you simplify things. You made it easy for me to change all 3 belts on my mower! What a riot, "take a bath." Funny! You should roll in grease and get super dirty before you do your videos! I also like how you say "let's dive right in!" You could be super dirty and at the end of the video say something like, "now lets dive right in......to the bathtub!" Snap your fingers again and instantly be clean after a bath! Ok I may be taking it too far but your videos are helpful and funny! Keep it bro.
Lol, thanks for the great ideas! Actually to "Take a Bath" is a saying that I've had for years. It has to do with losing $$... For example if you know you paid to much for your car, you could say you took a bath on it... .. 😂. Your idea is funny to play on the words ... to take a bath..
😅thanks,easy and self explanatory
Welcome 😊 You're welcome and happy to help..
Very thoroughly covered and clear. Thanks for making the video.
Thank you so much! You're welcome.. 😀
Replace blads
Thanks Rudy, another informative video👍🏼
My pleasure! You're welcome.. 😀
Thank you. Easy to understand.
Great to hear! You're welcome...
Thanks very good...
Thank you! You're welcome... 😀
Would love to see if you have a video on removing deck from craftsman T110 lawn tractor enjoyed watching your last video replacing a belt.
Great suggestion! Unfortunately I didn't do a video on that. I don't have the tractor any longer, but I'll do the video if I get another one.
Very detailed and explained
Thank you!
Nice video, just 1 item, I just pushed on the engine pulley guard, and it came out of the hole, and moved to the rear, and belt came off. No tools are required for that part. New belt on main engine and pulled on the guard, and it back popped back into the hole. But if you want to remove the screw and then remove the guard from the mower, it's up to you.
Thanks for the info... 😀
It took me a lot longer than it took you to change it but i got it lol i did just change it now at midnight outside with no lights tho lol thank you for the video.. i just put my belt back on tho. It came off because i had too much grass in the deck from cutting thick tall grass
Excellent! Glad I could help.. 😀. There's no tellin how long it took me since I usually try to edit the time down...
Can you please show how to adjust the deck height? I know of the nut and lock nut on the front but can't find any other adjustments
Yes that adjustable rod in the front adjusts the deck angle... (lower or higher in the front). I don't have access to this mower any more to see if there's any adjustments in the back of the deck other than the deck height control that you get to from the seat.
This is awesome, thanks so much
You're very welcome!
Do you know why a deck belt would be slipping off of a pulley consistently? I recently (two weeks ago, yet to mow till today) changed the deck belt and the engagement cable per your video instructions, and now the deck belt keeps slipping off of the pulley, specifically on the right side. I can reinsert it, but it will slip again. Might cut for two or three minutes then it will randomly disengage, and I know it will have slipped at that point. They're both MDT parts. I'm stumped.
HI.. Are there any belt guards missing or out of place? Excessive belt flopping around? Is the belt the right size?
Video was great and things went good. Only issue I’m having is idling now. The belt is slapping pretty hard when I start the mower up. Everything is tight as can be. Any thoughts?
Is the belt slapping while it's disengaged? It shouldn't be turning at all...
Hey Rudy, I have the same exact mower and I bought a 42 inch belt to replace mine and when I got it on, it is still very loose and the blades won't engage when I drop the lever down.
HI... Yes it should tighten up when you engage the lever. There are only 2 possibilities. 1. The belt is to long. 2. The routing of the belt is incorrect. Did you compare the known good part numbers with the one you bought?
I have so many questions because this will be my first time putting a belt on so I couldn't really tell the direction of the way the belt was going on the opposite side because the camera never really showed that area. Also, what did you pull on to tighten that belt up around that spindle? I seen you reach up to the top of the lawn mower but the camera did not show that part.
HI, when the belt lever is in the off position the belt is loose enough to pull it over the spindle with little to no effort. The direction of the belt looks like a "T" if looking at it from the top. It's difficult to explain in a message like this, but it goes around the engine, then the back side of the belt rides on the 2 idlers, then the v part goes around the 2 spindles. From the top it would look like a "T"
You blew right over what the route was for putting the belt back on.
I believe I showed the route when I took it apart...
Should be a diagram printed on top of the mower deck (there is on mine - front left side).
This should be the same for a T1000 or atleast very close right ? I’m going to try when I get some time
I haven't tried this on the T1000, so I can't say for sure..
I have a craftsman T110 42 in deck. I bought a 42in deck belt but when I tried putting it on it was too tight to go around the back two pulleys do I need a bigger belt?
If you have it routed correctly then yes, something is wrong. The belt should be pretty loose with the lever disengaged. I think I might have listed the part number in the description. Or you can take your model number that should be under the back seat and check out www.partstree.com and you can look up the part number on there.
On my one pulley don't engage
Mr I found it very helpful how in the heck do you get the back up wrench on it
HI Wanda.. do you have a timestamp of which part you're talking about?
How do you adjust deck belt tension. Measured the old to new and they were the same length. When I engage the pto and lower deck there is way to much play
Usually the tension is automatic from the tensioner spring.. Do you maybe have a weak spring?
@@JLPicard440 I've replaced the pto, I could try the extension springs. Though they don't look over stretched or worn.
@@terrah7265 You should be able to tell if they're weak or stretched out. Without seeing it, it's difficult to tell where the problem is coming from. But usually the idler is responsible for taking up slack in the belt.
Did you use a 42in or 40 went to the website but didn’t tell me the length of the belt
HI, I usually go by the part number. With that part number, you can find out the length. Did you try to go to a site like www.partstree.com and plug in your mower model number to get the parts breakdown?
Could anyone tell me where Can I find the belt diagram
I think I showed the belt path in the video? I don't remember, but looking at it from the top the belt will form a large "T" when it's installed properly... Hope that helps. IF you need a picture, you should be able to take your model number from under the seat and go to www.partstree.com and plug in your model number.. from there you can get the parts breakdown for the deck.
@JLPicard440 Thanks for your time. I do have one question. My belt came off while I was mowing. When I put it back on, the blade wouldn't engage. Can putting the belt on wrong cause that?
Yes it's possible. Without being able to see it, I can't be sure. If the belt is coming off, you might check the belt guards and pulley alignment to see if anything looks off..
How did you engage the belt? 5:06
HI, just by moving the blade lever to the on position...
【from Hipa】The best parts for your equipments,do you like to test it?
OIC
For some reason the belt is very loose
Even with the lever engaged?
@@JLPicard440 yea it's got like 3 inch of slack
It's either routed wrong or it's the wrong belt. Also if there's a pulley loose that would cause that too...
These tractors are junk
Great!
I've had this same one for yrs, take care of it & it'll last
Yes that's true! This tractor is modeled after the Troy Bilt Pony which used to be like $999 just about 3 years ago, but I've just checked Lowes and they're $2100! It's the same mower!
Wish i would have never bought this trash
Sorry to hear that... The great thing is, if you don't like it you can always sell it!... 😊
