• JD272 mower

Got the blades off but still do not know how to take the v-belt off and on. The parts diagrams and the various label illustrations don't depict the process. Can one describe it briefly? Or better yet, does someone have an operator's manual, look up the v-belt removal/installation section and include an exerpt of the instructions?

Thanks.

There was an illustration on the deck that did not make sense to me about a bolt and nut placement signifying installation and mowing. After checking the mower more closely, I realized a bolt on the back which when tightened, will pull the spring tensioner and loosen the belt. I had noticed the bolt earlier and wondered what purpose it served as it seem all alone. Thought maybe it was used to hold a traffic warning sign.
