mancanic2 4 #1 Posted September 21, 2015 I recently purchased a nice used 60" deck. Pto belt frayed and spindle belt went under center pulley. Am I correct that spindle belt goes on the bottom pulley, as it is very tight and level on the upper center spindle. pics can be uploaded as needed.Thanks,dale Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tommyg 152 #3 Posted September 21, 2015 My spindle belt rides on the top. The belt from the PTO is on the bottom, which is a bit of a pain when removing the mower deck, but that's another issue. Maybe this pic will help. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WNYPCRepair 1,914 #8 Posted September 22, 2015 I just double checked, my drive belt is on top, spindle on bottom. I don't think my belt would be long enough if it were reversed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
