Sears riding mower 15.5 hp 6spd 42"

[bob]

I have to replace a belt on this mower, the drive belt , I guess it is. It makes the tractor move. Can anyone tell me how to go about it.

Hi, Bob,
With what you have wrote Bob, the best thing you can do
is, load your mower onto the back of a pickup, drive to your
nearest garage and tell the guy with the oily rag in
his hand, “its not working can you change the belt for me Please”
Don’t get involved with the in’s and out’s, all you want to know is
when you press the button, it work’s.

Bob, check out http://www.sears.com and look under PartsDirect
they offer parts and owners manuals. I would imagine that
the directions would be available in the owners manual
which you can order along with the OEM belt.

One blade cuts higher then the other.

Hi, You probably won’t be able to help me anymore than you did Bob back in June of ’99, but I have to replace a Belt that makes the two Blades turn on my Riding Lawn Mower. I was seeking advice other than having to take it somewhere on how to do it myself. I’ve already purchased a belt that should fit it o.k. The Riding Mower is a Rally Plus, purchased two or three years ago.

I’d like to know what/why there isn’t more info available? Is this task a trade secret?? I’ve been looking for days!! and can’t even find a decent cross refference for belts. I got a Gates belt from O’Reilly’s only cuz I had the broken drive belt with me.I have Craftsman/Murray Model 502.255050.Looks like I may need to remove the blade belt & may want to replace it too but don’t want to cut it off.Nor do I want to pay a service call fee for something that seems should be an EASY repair.I’d just like some idea of the procedure that could save me time & effort. I can find plans for a nuclear reactor, why not replacing a lawnmower belt????

Sears,

I just wanted to drop a line and say I made The Best Choice in my life when I bought the Craftsman 15.5 with 42″ cut. Its now 7 years old and still runing and all I ever done to it is clean the Carb. and change the oil never one belt or anything bad. Maintence is the key ,You stay on top of the permaintence and treat it right and she will run a long time, I got my money out of it. I seen that it is a might lower sence I bought mine. But I got my money out of it and some!! Just wanted you to know.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH
