Honda Owner Check-In --- Read This First!

Hi everybody. I have a Harmony 2013 and I'm currently trying to put the drive belt back on after it came off. Any help will be appreciated.:thumbsup:

Hello! I was recently picked up an old HRM215K2SXA (I think). I changed the oil; cleaned the carb, gas tank, and lines. I also replaced the starter assembly and spark plug. It started on the first pull!!! But, it makes a horrible screeching noise. It squeals even with the BBC and/ or self propel disengaged; I'm at a loss. I'm currenly waiting on a manual, so I can investigate more. Big thanks to all the contributors, this site has been a huge help to me thus far!

Is your 2013 a gear-drive or hydrostatic drive model?

Has the belt broken or is it still in one piece?

The drive belt goes around the crankshaft and a large input pulley on top of the transmission. In between are some spring-loaded tensioner arms (and a clutch arm for gear transmission models). To replace the belt, you must remove the mower deck. After the deck is off, the new drive belt can be installed, then the deck installed, and the deck belt installed as a last step.

There is a full procedure to remove the mower deck in a free owner's manual download here:

You'll need the serial number of the left side frame to get the correct manual for your tractor.

If you have a gear model, the drive belt is easy to install, just make sure the clutch pedal is engaged so the tensioner is out of the way. For a hydrostatic model, the drive belt is under constant tension from a heavy spring that is connected to the rear of the frame. See attached .PDF files for details.
