Sorry...991083, ser # is 022198 Yes, that is my video... I can get a better one if needed.

HELP? Someone? Anyone? Do the springs get loose and worn and need replaced?

I am replacing the idler pulleys. On the pulley on the right, if sitting in the seat, how tight should the bolt that goes through the deck that holds the arm on be tightened? How about the bolt holding the pulley to that arm? Should they be TIGHT! or a little loose to allow the arm to move?

I have changed all pulleys and still have this rattle and belt jump. Do I need to tighten the tensioner bolt more? Reason I ask, is I can remove the belt with lots of pressure by removing it around the pulley on the left… it isn’t easy, but can be done! This mower when new, with the blades...

Thought so...thanks!

I bought a new idler pulley for my ZT HD52...when spinning the shaft to check the bearing, it has a spot that you can feel it sort of bump when spinning it. I don't know how to really explain it. Is it a bad bearing? I assume I need to get another pulley?

Belt was installed correctly until it was ran for awhile on uneven pulleys and began shredding. I have flipped the pulley and now everything lines up nice and level...I hope to be able to grab a new belt tomorrow.

Ya'll are awesome! Thank you!

Also, what is the easiest way to release the belt tension? I had a hell of a time with it when I replaced the spindles.

I will try flipping it and see if it helps...

It’s a 991083, ser number begins with 022

I recently changed my spindles and thought it didn't look right but ran it anyway. Now, sure enough, I am shredding my belt. My middle spindle pulley looks to be sitting too high...I thought I had put everything back just like it was. Is that my problem...how can I fix this?

I was thinking the same thing...

That is the new spindle/shaft in the pic...the stepped washer still fits it perfectly.

Thanks!
