Belt slipped off Transmission Pulley of John Deere D110. How to get the belt keeper aside and put the belt back on the pulley?
Stick caught between belt and transmission pulley forced belt off the pulley. Can easily get enough slack to reattach, but the belt keeper is in the way. Is there a way to move the belt keeper far enough away to slip the belt back on the pulley (transmission input sheave)?
Re: Belt slipped off Transmission Pulley of John Deere...
There are usually two bolts securing the keeper to the bottom of the tractor. remove one and loosen the other and you should be able to swing it out of your way. worst case is to take them both out and replace the belt and reinstall the keeper

You do not say which size cutting deck you have. I will be writing about the 48", 3 blade cutting deck
The belt on this deck is self tensioned. The tension is provided by a spring attached to a moveable pulley on the deck. When the belt is in place you can manually force this pulley forward/backward and it will release the tension.
If the belt is off track, place the belt back around all the pulleys in the correct path, lastly force this spring loaded pulley forward/backward (depending on your deck, the direction is not important, the tension is) to get the belt around the pulley. If the belt is placed correctly, when you release the spring loaded pulley it will properly tension the belt.
Typically, these belts should not be jumping off. If yours is coming off frequently the belt may be worn. When they wear they get quite a bit longer, then the tension pulley cannot apply the correct tension. Rarely does the tension spring have to be replaced.
The other problem that causes belt jumping is worn spindles and stationary pulleys. The spindles are the most likely to need replacement. You can buy excellent replacements for JD spindles on Amazon for very reasonable prices. The following spindles are super replacement spindles for the 48" deck. They may very well be the same for smaller and larger decks; I have not researched that. Just search Amazon for Silver Streak # 285851.

The best way is put the belt on the pulley the try to turn the pulley by hand r use vise grib or a socket then as you turn it slowly put pressure on the belt as u turn it silt it on without have to disable any bolts try to slop it on r jump it on
i had a 2148. you remove the mower deck as the first step. feed the belt over the pulley on top the transmission, then put it over the engine pulley. then have someone push the clutch pedal in so the tensioner pulley moves, put the belt in the guide pulley and on the tensioner. release the clutch put the deck back on and you are good to go. notice there are little keepers welded to the frame for the front, engine, pulley and it is easy to mistakenly put the belt over them instead of under them.
a general rule is that a pulley shaped like a Vee takes the V of the belt whilst a pulley which is flat takes the flat back of the belt. if you bear that in mind you will not have a problem putting belts back on. also there is a little decal on top the deck showing how the deck belt and deck drive belt go.
For round fender 110. To remove \ replace drive belt that has slipped
off. Remove 2 of the 3 bolts from large pulley on transmission right
side. This will allow enough access to slip belt onto pulley. Replace
bolts. hope this helped Tim
