A bit of an adventure getting the mower deck off, but replacing the belt is a piece of cake, diagram is right on the deck.

An Experience Worth Repeating
July 24, 2019

I moved into a home with a Craftsman mower left in the garage. The mower required a new deck belt. I called Sears for the replacement part. Based on my address, they were able to tell me when the mower was purchased and exactly which model of belt I needed. What a surprise! My friend, who is experienced with mowers, was able to put the belt on without any trouble. We are pleased with the results!

Blade belt installation

Took me approx 30 minutes total with no special tools. And I am slow to begin with. Rolled the mower onto some ramps and took my time.
