Your a savior. I cldnt figure out how to get the belt away from the fan
yeah, its a bear !
To remove the fan, pull the snap ring off one end of the deck height adjusting rod and move the rod aside, it is easy, then you can get to the nut on the fan easily and the belt keeps on the transmission.
damn... Beautifully made man good job sir!!!!
Many thanks
What size belt was it?
Did you ever just think about cutting the old belt ,off since you are replacing anyway?? Thats what I do.
true, but you still have to deal with getting the new one on, and around that keeper that's under the nylon fan. Major rigamaroe on a TB Horse
@@billthames9564 it’s really not that bad and doesn’t require very much disassembly . if you get the new belt under the fan started on one side of the pulley under the fan, you can pull it around the pulley. it takes a little effort but it actually will wedge itself between the keeper and the pulley and it can be pulled on . The only pulley I remove is the one from the engine ,and thats the last place I put the belt on. it’s the easiest way I found. no need to remove or mess with that fan.
I think you just convinced me to scrap this mower. Belt replacement shouldn’t be a 40 hour job.
Very helpful!!
2:00 you can see 2 yellow oil caps. 2 dipsticks. Can someone tell me what each of them are for ? Manual says bottom one is for adding engine oil. What is the upper one for ?
How’d you remove the bolt on the front pulley. Mine just spins.
I don't recall having that problem. I may have used an air tool on the nut and maybe a vise grip on the pulley shaft??
May I ask how did you stop it from spinning
I had to use an air tool that was the only way it didn’t just spin.
@@lionelmcghee484 I had to use an impact wrench (air gun). That’s the only way I got it to work
Thanks @@josha963
Overall good video. My issue was that my belt didn't break and wasn't slipping but had somehow actually jumped off the rear pulley on the transaxle and was between the pulley and the fan. I thought about just breaking the fan off but ended up getting some vice-grip pliers to hold on the pulley and amazingly the rusted nut (that I had soaked in WD40) actually came free! So my tip is to try to get some locking pliers on the pulley and cross your fingers, it might actually work! This was the first issue I've had with the belt in the 10 years I've had this thing.
Good Info. that nylon fan is a real nuisance.
Great Video. I’ve had my mower 6 years and the transition belt gave out last weekend while mowing. Thanks for posting.
thanks
I just cut old belt . Shouldn't have a problem if you look up model number and part number on belt for mower. Think smarter not harder lol
How much that cost in labor if contracted out, I wonder.I was quoted $2400 without materials
I think that is a good price. I took a year to build this pit - a bonafide construction person can probably do it in a couple weeks.
Nice buggy!
🎉❤😊
Doope
was going to change my belt on a(9 year old) troy 54 in, watched this video, didn't need to change belt air gets in transmission, this is how you get it out, works fine ua-cam.com/video/pH1O-gCivlw/v-deo.htmlsi=d1-Gj_TB5uUVteTp
Thank you for making a video on this belt replacement. I took a spring off and couldn't remember where it was at
happy to help. thanks
Do you still have this kart. I have one and am trying to repair it. Someone took it apart and lost a lot of parts. A reference would help greatly.
Sorry , I sold it a month ago. the Chinese were never very good about publishing manuals or even diagrams. sorry I can't help.
What kind and weight oil do you use?
10W40 any name brand oil. synthetic OK
you need to buy a torque converter thats all
yep, that would do it. Grandson already sold the go kart, however.
I am very interested, and tried to purchase on ebay. But unfortunately they don't deliver to the Philippines. Is there a way I can pay you via credit card and you send the PDF files to me through email? Thanks in advance.
Klaus, as long as the Ebay folks are in the loop, they'd expect payment for their fees, or they threaten to close down my offer. Sorry, but w/o your email, I couldn't send you anything anyway.
That’s awesome exactly what I pictured something like that very well designed
Many thanks!
I need some help with my troy bilt hydrostatic transmission when I push the Blake it knocks self gear
I just replaced my drive belt i was able to force the fan out of the way but its even worse getting back in.
yeah, that fan is a real problem. mine now is missing a blade or two.
This video is extremely helpful, I can't figure out anything on mine (Jaguar 200) Thank you!! Repent to God, sins are forgivable. Christ is King!
Did that at age 9. covered.
@@billthames9564 An oil change? Or repentance?
@@e_s.0848 soul saving repentance
@@billthames9564 Every day we sin
To remove the belt, just cut it. Then install new belt around fan…
...then when they send the wrong belt you're S.O.L.
This is awesome
thanks. it works pretty well.
Very nice build! Couple of questions…..With this build can you smoke from the grill area into the tower as well as what I would call a hot smoke directly below? Also….ever tried baking in the tower section or a pizza? Thank You
thanks. I've decided to do all my smoking from the BBQ grill into the tower. Just putting a fire into the bottom of the tower was my original thought for smoking, but it's too small of an area for building a fire that will need to go on for 3 or more hours at 230 to 275 degrees. I guess if I was doing one of those "slow smokes" of 205 degrees or thereabouts it might be OK in the tower but would still require a lot of wood replenishment for long hour smokes. No, I've not tried using the tower for a pizza oven - it might work, even though there is no dome shape, per se, above the pizza.
You have great videos but no video on replacing a deck belt.😢😢 No one has this on this Troy Built.
thanks Michelle. I have some notes on that, and I will make it into a brief video in a couple days.
Well done
thanks
My belt is gone. What’s plan B to get the transmission fan off?
Other than what I put in my video, you might try the reply that is just below. He also had a suggestion about the fan. Good luck.
Thank you for the info!. To note the second drain plug next to the oil plug with screen is the actual oil drain plug. So should open the oil drain plug 1st then open the oil filter screen 2nd clean then reinstall then refill oil. Generally all GY6 engines take about one quart of 10w-40
Nice job be cool to see you in a video using it and do a bit of smoking
Thanks Ben. I just might do that. some other folks wanted to see some smoked meats.
Just figured out an easy way to remove hydrostatic transmission fan so you can get the belt off much easier. Take out the four bolts that build the body to the axle, put long 5/16 or quarter inch bolts in their place. Put a bottle jack under the trailer hitch Lift the body up in about an inch to an inch and a half and the fan will slide right off of the shaft.
that's good. definitely need something to lessen the hassle of that fan blade.
Dr Trussell sang many times in out church. First Baptist Brownwood. I was privileged to know Dr. Trussell and even severed on a committee with hin at Howard Payne University. He was the real deal.
what size belt is it
84.5"
nice
great job
thank you Sir
My engine revs up but no forward or reverse any help?
all I can suggest is make sure the tranny oil level is OK. other than that, I'm at a loss. never had that problem.
@@billthames9564 thanks for the tip 🙂
You sir are a genius
Many Thanks !!

Years ago while working in Denali National Park some friends and I gathered around a primitive outdoor fire pit lined with basalt stone. After the fire died down that stone retained heat for an amazingly long time. Do you think basalt could be used for a bbq pit? You wouldn't need fire brick for one.
probably so, since basalt makes up a some kinds of lava. however, it is rock-like in shape, as opposed to the formed, rectangular firebrick, which lends itself to being cased inside of a firepit with other dimensional stones, ie., bricks, etc.
I realize this video is fairly old....but it is the same setup as the new Linhai Crossfire LHU2000 "Adult Golf Cart". This is also the ONLY video I've been able to find to explain this simple process. The golf cart has a manual...but it doesn't show anything, and the English is...well....rough. If you don't mind, please add a Tag or edit name to include the Crossfire Golf Cart.....this video is badly needed in that community. I might do one as well...but yours is the first I've seen and I've been looking hard. Thanks!!!!
will try to do that
Thank you so much. I have a Cazador 170 (179cc) and no manual. What engine oil weight? What transmission oil weight?
engine oil depends on your area temperature. Here in mid- texas where it rarely gets below 40 degrees, I use 20W40 or 30 weight. wouldn't use synthetic on a brand new engine - needs to break in with regular oil If you are in colder climates , probably want 10W40. wouldn't ever go to a thinner weight in these air cooled engines. On the transmission, I used 75W90 - I think there's a picture of it in the video.
Very nice looking and functional. I love it. Not including the slab pour, what was the cost of materials for this build?
Dang that's sweet. I hope you're still loving it. I imagine that thing may very well survive for generations with proper upkeep.
thanks. yep, it's gonna last pretty well
I have a dong fang that I bought new for my kids. After a long ride with the kids the kart would not go in forward or reverse. After draining the gear oil not very much came out. What could it be please help.
you need to put a pint of oil into the transmission case, as per the video. I used 70W90. if that doesn't make it go, I'm not sure what to do.
@@billthames9564 I seen on a post that these go karts also have a belt and clutch so I will be trying to work on it and hope that's it.
Your clutch should be firm on the shaft. I see that the engine is moving it and it should just be staying firm on the shaft. Also too tight of a clutch can cause the clutch not to work. No lubricant on the bearing on the clutch could also make the clutch very warm and choppy. Do more research could be a simple fix. Great to see people doing their own work
Your clutch is way too loose
