I have the JD S170 with a 48” deck. This was one of the best how to videos I’ve ever seen. Thank you!

You're the man! Brother, I was about to load this up and take it John Deere, but did it myself in about 15 minutes. Too easy and I'm back in action! Thank you!

Thanks so much! The flat-to-flat and V-to-V tip was really helpful and I'll never forget it.

I am 75 year old guy and thank you for showing how to install a new belt. You make it look so simple. Thanks again

I am a 68 year old grandma and this was the best video ever.I did it all by myself with only a couple busted knuckles.Thank you.

Best explanation of all the videos I have watched… many do not address the v shape of the belt or that you need to move the bar on the pulley.

[bryanracine]

Thanks for a clear and succinct tutorial on this!

very helpful, I got one of these mowers for free from a customer of mine who didnt have time to fix it. all it was was a siezed pulley and a minor oil leak from the drain valve.

Thank you! You made what seemed initially quite daunting straight forward. Belt successfully replaced.

[vicbrown]

You just simplified the heck out of this job. I get confused every time and looks simple if I just follow those steps. THANKS!!!

Excellent video with detailed instructions and tips. Made the job very doable and saved some serious money. Thanks!

You are the man! I always look for your videos when I do any work on my john deere. Your video on putting the mulching kit on helped my soooo much. Thanks again, and keep up the good videos for dummies like me, they really are helpful!

[mikejedlicka]

Awesome video! Very well done and everything was straight forward and easy to understand. I will sheepishly admit I had no idea you move the idler pulley to make the final belt placement. In the past I was just manhandling the deck on my D160 and walking it onto the pulley. Very hard to do and now I know better.

My deck set-up is a little different on my 26 year old 345, but you helped me with many tips of what to look out for! Thanks.

Best video on the E170 for belt replacement. I'm going tomorrow too help/do a replacement belt for a friend. Be my first but after watching you, I can handle it.

[DavidMHeck]

Just changed the belt on my D160 48" deck following your excellent instructions. Thank you!!!!

[LanceVanArsdell]

Excellent video! I’ve done this job many times and I’m about to do it again. Always good to have a refresher!

[twobulls]

The best video for this job. I barely had time to drink a cold beer while I watched my future son in law change out the belt.

[FearlessFreep]

This is one of the better videos on all of youtube. Thank you very professional.

[watermanone]

Nice video, can you show how to adjust the deck wheels for people at some point? Thanks for the video.
