(2 hours30 minutes)
Tension pulley spring is tight, need proper tool to " pull back" for best results. Had to remove two brackets that required air wrench to remove due to them being so tight. Getting the belt from around the dude drive fan blades is difficult since hardly enough room between the and the gas tank bottom. Raising the entire mower on a lift is definitely recommended in order to get under the mower after deck is removed to aide in removal and installation of the drive belt. Not a job for those who do not gave mechanical experience.
