Hi,
I am trying to replace the transmission drive belt on my Toro LX-460 riding mower. Unfortunately I can't find any video or instructions on how to accomplish this. I have removed the belt from the engine drive shaft and threaded it back to the rear variable spindle post. BUT, I am unable to remove replace the belt as the spindle is mounted tight to the frame and there is a guard built into opposite side that cannot be removed. It almost appears as if I will have to remove the whole spindle assembly from the frame to accomplish this belt replacement. I am hoping someone can tell me that there is an easier way...........Thank you......
You need to loosen the two bolts on the side of the frame to allow access to the variable pulley. This will allow you to tip the pulley and get the belt off.
