SOURCE: Belt removal or change

i'm not 100 percent possitive but i assume you will have to loosen the tensioner to serpetine belt and it should have a adjustment and just loosen the adjustment. if thats the case you can jump the power steering belt off and back on by prying it with a screw driver and rotating the crankshaft pully

SOURCE: im replacing timing belt, accessory belts and water pump on my hyundai elantra gls 1997 sta wgn auto transmission. (1)Where is bolt to drain engine block coolant?(2)After removing front engine mountin

(1) No need to know if engine block coolant drain plug was available. Once the water pump was removed, all engine block coolant was drained. (2) After removing the three engine mounting bracket bolts, I also removed the mount bracket from the the body and made enough room to replace the timing belt easier.

SOURCE: support engine and remove top motor mount for belt

The best way is to rent an engine hoist, you don't want to support the engine with a jack and a block of wood, you could crack what ever the jack is supported on, and if the engine moves, you will never get it lined up with the mount.

I am having trouble getting my trailcutter to stay cranked. It is not priming gas to the engine. I have replaced the fuel filter and fuel pump, and checked the hoses for any obstructions. Do you have

Try removing the anti backfire valve on the bottom of the carb and cleaning it. They sometimes stick closed due to ethanol gum. Mace sure you hear a click when you turn the switch on. The solenoid which operates the AB Valve could be bad or have a broken wire.

What causes excessive vibration in 11.5 HP Swisher Trailcutter after hitting a stump?

The most likely cause is a bent blade. If the blades are not reasonably straight and balanced it will cause excessive vibration. I suggest addressing this asap. The excess vibration can cause more serious problems if not fixed.

Change belt

Changing the belt on the swisher 44' rough cut - mine is a model RTB134412v. You have to remove the belt guard (4 bolts) and then the 6 bolts holding the engine on to the deck. Lift (or tilt) the engine up and loop the 1/2"x50" belt (I got a husky replacement belt at tractor supply) through the wire belt guides and around the engine belt drive. Then loop the belt around the larger blade drive. It takes about 30 mins or so. Hope that helps.

I got alot of vibration when i engage the blades on my 44 inc swisher rough cutter

I had the same problem twice. The first time happened when the blades were not swinging freely because they got gummed up with grass. So make sure your blades pivot easily.

The second time happened when the nuts came loose from the blade driver (the part underneath the deck that the large bolt goes through to hold on the blade assembly). I had taken the Swisher to a small engine repair place for servicing. They removed the blade assembly to sharpen the blades while it was there but put the old lock nuts back on without using any Locktight, so the nuts started to come off while I was cutting. Unfortunately, I did not notice this until after the blade driver got very loose and then got reamed out by the wobbling of the large blade assembly bolt. I had to replace the blade driver and its bolts and nuts.

Replaced belt the blade stays engaged

Check that you have routed the belt correctly. Did you happen to go to the outside of the idler? Also is the belt the correct size requiring the idler to put tension on the belt to drive it Belt should be loose when idler is disengaged.. See sketch:

My Swisher Rough Cut 12.5 HP 44 Inch mower - The blades stop cutting when I hit a dense patch of grass. The belt and the pully are still moving at normal speed but the blade slows. Also I can spin the...

I dont believe there is a shear pin on your blade spindles, what I have found on these machines is the the spindle nuts on the balde spindles sometimes loosen or wear and no longer squeeze the pulley on the blade spindle. To make this process easy on your self you need to tighten these with a impact wrench. However if you dont have access to a impact wrench you can use hand tools and block the blades you are trying to tighten with a wooden block. Just make sure you block the blade you are trying to tighten
