Hello,
I am new here and am doing service to my Simplicity Broadmoor Mower. Any help would be appreciated.
Is it necessary to remove PTO on shaft to replace main drive belt. I do not have a big enough wrench to put on PTO to take off. Is there another way to keep shaft from turning to remove bolt. Thanks ahead of time.

Please provide us with the model number. You will find it on the left side of the frame, probably starts with 269.

On most machines the pto clutch and engine pulley do need to be removed to replace drive belt.
