  • / Bunton 48" Walk behind, how to replace Engine to Deck belt
Is there any way to change the belt without taking off the whole deck. The deck is attached by these six giant bolts, and I don't really want to try to take them off. I can get the belt off the pullies, but the space the belt has to go through to get it off that is is about 1/2" wide, and the belt is like 3/4" wide. I might be able to yank it out if I use my legs for leverage, but am less certain I would want to subject a new belt to that same force to try to squeeze it through (the gap where the deck is next to the mower) to put a new one on. I can provide pictures or whatever if it will help. The belt I am talking about is #9 on this diagram:

Any help would be appreciated.
