I"d like to know how much of the shaft assembly between the two hydrostats needs to be dismantled to replace the drive belt. Normally, I would just start removing parts until I got the job done, but in this case, I thought checking ahead would be a good idea....might save needless work! Here"s what it looks like to me:
1. remove the three lovejoy coupling bolts from the left side of coupling (left relative to operator sitting position).
2. remove the two bolds holding down the center shaft bearing.
3. Slide the lovejoy and splin shaft toward the bearing assembly (is that do-able, I"m assuming there is room to move this in a bit?)
4. Remove the bolts from the left side of drive pully to left transmission coupling.
5. Lift the pully/bearing assembly out enough to sneak the old belt out and new belt in.
6. Reverse to reassemble.
Is this the way it works?
