MTD Rear end

[mechanic mark]

http://www.mtdproducts.com/equipmen...Code=62&modelNumber=13am761f065&serialNumber= manual & parts list, see pages 20 & 21 in parts manual, you will also need to check idler pulley item 28 for replacement also along with belts items 36 & 37, bearings do wear out in idlers. Let us know how it goes, thanks.

Usually requiring tension rearward on the clutch pedal means the replacement belt(s) are a different angle or different width if the length is proper. Another couple of things are the variable speed pulley has slight wear and that will require an adjustment to the clutch rod and or a higher tension clutch rod return spring.

Good luck.

It is a big file but the Must have manuals are worth downloading.
A little old but they have done the job for me every time so far.

The vari-speed drives had a problem with the two roller bearings in the stack pulley seizing, try putting the mower in park and turn pulley backward and see if it binds.
