When I was changing the blade, I noticed that the V belt isn't in the groove; it had slipped down. Do I need to just replace the belt or is something else going on?

Model 20331 Serial 295600911

SOURCE: removing tractor deck to change belt and blades?

if i am thinking of the right model you may be able to get away with first taking off the blade, then to remove the deck should be a number of bolts under the chassis and on top of the deck where it meets the frame... you can get your parts here if your having trouble finding them

SOURCE: V groove pulley slipped off of harmonic balancer of 1999 Grand Am

After checking around, I decided to replace the harmonic balancer. I had a repair shop fix it for me and I think they over charged for the part. But, at least I'm on the road again. This Grand Am has 227,000 miles and still runs pretty good.

SOURCE: Airens Zoom 1944 ZTR Blades Slow Down In Bahaia Grass

You mention many PM issues but do not mention a blade sharpening. I don't get on my ZTR without a freshly honed blade installed. "That's" what cuts bahia grass...the blade. You can put all the horsepower you want behind the lade but if you're trying to cut grass with a 2X4 it rips more than cuts grass.

SOURCE: Hoover WindTunnel Self-Propelled V Belt

I had this same problem with the V belt on my Hoover Vaccuum.
There are three (3) basic things that will cause the brush roll not to spin.
1. When handle is upright, brush roll is OFF. 2. When switch is set for HARD surface, brush roll is OFF. 3. Broken/worn FLAT belt or V Belt, brush roll will not spin.

I noticed that the brush roll was not spinning when my vacuum was set for CARPET. After removing the cover I noticed that the V belt was loose, I thought the belt was worn so I purchased a correct replacement belt and installed it, but the new belt was also loose and when I turned the large flat belt pulley it did not turn the V belt pulley at the same time.
I double checked the surface setting and I had the vacuum switch set for carpet, but still when I released the handle out of the upright position the brush roll would still not spin.
My aggravation finally led me to this posting on FixYa's website.
The first thing I did was checked the screw to the left of the V belt as suggested by ejmjr5 and this did nothing to solve the problem or create more tension on the V belt, even when the upright handle was not in the upright position.
After playing around with the surface setting control switch/nob I notice that when I moved the switch out of the HARD surface setting and over to CARPET, I had thought that the switch was set for CARPET as it visually appeared, but I was not pushing the switch over hard enough to click it into the CARPET setting mode.
VOILA, the brush roll now spins correctly even though the V belt seams to be too loose for the pulley.
You really have to force the switch into the CARPET setting. Be sure that you hear the switch/nob click into place.
Now you can effectively clean up after that hangover of a party!
Burp!

My AFK breadmaker suddenly stopped kneading. The blade makes a sound as if something is holding it from turning. I mistakenly put the wrong amount of water which was less than I should have put into my...

Sounds like something is stuck under the blade, are you lifting it out and cleaning it every time after use? Cooked bread gets stuck under the blade if not and will stop it moving freely.

Belts sqealing

If you are talking about the harmonic dampener (the big one at the bottom) it IS supposed to be one piece. If the outer part has torn away from the inner then you had better get another one before it flys off and tears something up. NO pulley should just fall off when the belt is taken off.

Husqvarna too slow when mowing

Some self-propelled mowers include a speed control, but sometimes it may seem that no matter how you adjust it, the mower just creeps along at a snail's pace. Most likely this isn't a mechanical malfunction, but an adjustment is probably needed.

Very tall or thick grass can bog down a self-propelled mower, but adjusting the height of the blade may allow it to roll through and cut the grass at normal speeds. If the blade is low, the amount of cutting required may slow down the movement of the entire mower. The frame of the mower may also stick in the high grass. Raise the blade little by little until the mower rolls at the appropriate speed. Going up hills may cause a similar response.

It's possible the drive belt on the mower can slip. Inspect this part to see if it is loose or cracked, and replace the belt to restore power.

Blade is slipping, whole spindle is slipping, could barely get blade off slips when i try to saw

From the description it sounds to me like the bolt holding the blade in place isn't tight enough, obviously. If there isn't a button on the saw that stops the blade from rotating when you're changing out the blade. Try this--when tightening down the blade, put it on the saw, then open the guard and rest the blade on a piece of scrap wood to stop if from moving. Then fully tighten down the bolt that holds the blade in place and you should be fine.

I have a Cub Cadet SLT1550 & have used it for four years. It has broken 4 blade drive belts in this time, what could be causing this?

Check your blade bearings of the deck. Either jack up the mower and put on jack stands / tripods but make sure you can get under the mower deck and grab the blades safely without having the mower fall on you. Grip the blade(s) on the outer end of each side and then try and teeter the blade(s) in the bearing mount. Have someone watch the drive pulley on top of the deck as you do this. The drive pulley and the blade should NOT move. If either one of them moves, your going to have to replace the blade drive bearings.

Also check each drive pulley to see that they are running true. I use the stand off approach where you place something in a fixed position then mark it with a piece of tape at the top and bottom of the pulley, (2 rings of tape.) Then rotate the pulley to see if it remains true during rotation. (no wobbles up or down) If you note either the upper or lower part of the pulley moving up or down as it rotates... replace the pulley. This applies to the engine drive pulley also. A stick or a ruler works fine for the stand off. You just have to keep changing the position of your tape marks on the stick for the top and bottom of each pulley.

Last look at each pulley V-groove to make sure that the groove itself is true. Use a stand off for a distance grip then take a philipps screwdriver and place it in the V-groove. The shank of the screwdriver should not move side to side or up and down. If it does... change the pulley.

By doing this your going to find something wrong as you have gone through 4 belts in a short period.

Thanks for choosing FixYa,

Beater bar belt install

  • 1

    Unplug the vacuum cleaner and turn it upside down, flat on the floor, with the roller brush facing up.

  • 2

    Remove the the bottom cover plate from the vacuum by prying it off gently with a screwdriver blade. Set aside the cover plate.

  • 3

    If the old belt is broke, remove it by pulling the belt from underneath the roller bush. If the belt is not broken but simply worn out, and is still attached, cut it off with scissors.

  • 4

    Remove the roller brush by lifting both ends from the grooved slots in the housing of the vacuum cleaner.

  • 5

    Cut away hair, thread, string and other debris wound around the roller, using the scissors. Tangles on the roller brush are a common reason for belt wear and breakdowns due to the added weight and stress on the roller brush.

  • 6

    Slip the replacement belt over the roller brush and seat the belt in the groove in the center of the roller.

  • 7

    Slide the roller brush back into the grooved mounts on either side of the housing and snap into place.

  • 8

    Pull back on the new belt and slip the loop over the pulley attached to the vacuum motor.

  • 9

    Replace the bottom cover by snapping it back on the housing until it clicks into place.

    The powersteering belt has gone out, how do I replace it without taking it to the shop?

    You will need some wrenchs, usually 1/2 inch and 9/16 or the metric equivalents 13 and 15 and something to pry with, a long screwdriver or wheel wrench,something flat and long.
    Before you start look at the bottom pulley on your engine and note which groove is for which belt, they have to go back on the proper groove.
    The alternator is probably the first belt from the rad, so loosen the bolt on the top of it and the one on the bottom, which you may be able to see but will probably have to feel out. Just a couple turns so it will loosen and you can remove the belt. You will have to feed it off over the fan one blade at a time. The second groove is probably the power steering.
    On the back of the power steering pump you will see a bracket with a slot in it and a bolt. Loosen that bolt 3 or 4 turns. On the front of the pump there are 2 bolts to be loosened, 1 on top at the engine and one on the bottom about 7 o'clock. It will be hard to spot but feel around. Push the pump into the engine and start to feed the new belt over the fan, one blade at a time and slip it on the pulleys. Look at it from the side of the car and make sure the belt is lined up with itself to and bottom, it should be perfectly in line with itself.If not change pulleys until it is. use the pry, making sure it is on metal and not the plastic tank and snug the belt up. Tighten the back bolt first, and check the belt for tension, it should flex about 1/2 inch. Tighten the other two bolts on the pump.
    Replace the alternator belt the same way, tightening the top bolt first. If ,by chance, you strip this bolt it's no big deal. Just get a longer bolt, same size that you can put a nut on and tighten it. Check for flex, 1/2 inch and tighten the bottom bolt.
    Start the car once you have everything tightened up and turn your steering wheel lock to lock. If it turns hard or squeals, the belt needs to be tighter. Also check your charging light or guage to see that the car is charging. If not then tighten the alternator belt some more.
    Don't be surprised if the power stering needs to be tightened in a while down the road, belts stretch over time.
    If you have to remove an AC belt the tightening bolt should be at the back of the compressor, same as the power steering. Hope this helps.
