Great video! I just replaced a deck belt for my neighbor and wasn't sure what that little arm was for. His was not broken, but I was still curious about why it was there. It looked like a manual engagement arm to me, but I knew that could not be what it was designed for. Now, I know, and you, my friend, have a new subscriber! 😃👍
Unbelievable!!!!! NOW I know why my belt keeps coming off! I actually found the broken shaft on my mower deck weeks ago, but had no idea what it was from. So - part is ordered, but!... I was able to make my own from a ½ inch piece of copper pipe - flattened one end, cut and folded and bent to make the tab, drilled a hole, bent the piece to the correct angle and installed ....success! I am beyond happy. Thanks so much for sharing your own "idiot" moment with the world! You have made my summer!
@@dadto6176 That’s awesome! It will drive you crazy if you don’t know what it’s for. I’m glad it helped!
Thank you for making this video, I've been busting my butt on how to stop the blade belt from disengaging when you engage the PTO lever. THANK YOU THANK YOU
I did all the exact things you did man! I suspect this video will keep getting watched as long as they keep making this mower!
Thanks! I'm glad they're helpful
Thank you so much for these videos!
I had the same exact problems. Missing spacer and missing lever. Have everything ordered and I’m feeling confident about fixing it thanks to you!
Thanks for this. I was trying to put the idler guide up in the bracket also. Now I'm out to put it together properly!
When I reinstalled the pulley with the arm, I mistakenly put it with the arm above the horizontal bar. It worked for a bit, then the belt jumped off (luckily not breaking). When I realized what I had done and put it below the horizontal bar, everything worked fine. Wish I had seen this video first so that I might have noticed that the arm was in the wrong place.
Thanks. My mother's lawnmower has the same issue. Awesome video and description on where to buy it. Thumbs up
Thank you, I have the cub cadet CC30H that was throwing the cutting belt. This idler rod was broken. Could not find any videos for the cub cadet version but knew they are basically the same mower.
Glad you found the video and it helped!
Thanks I just replaced my belt and I know what to look for if my ex was missing parts, they was there. Took about 20 minutes to fix, a lawnmower shop would have cost me a lot…that belt was $50 I could have got one on Amazon for $10: but they had bad reviews….thanks …👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Fantastic Video...
love the honesty in this video...i followed pretty much the same path to the same conclusion lol
I enjoy your videos
Prefect video. I broke the same guide rod... didn't think it was a major problem. Replaced the belt and for the life of me I couldn't figure out why the belt kept jumping off. Thank you so much for the video
Thanks for the comment, I'm glad the video helped!
Thank you
What year is this one? ...The 2012 I'm working on doesn't have this part and it came apart and broke everything.
Go to Jack's small engines and if you have the model number you can find the parts diagram.
Great video thank you very much.
Great video. Saved me a ton of frustration!🎉
Please note that the spring as seen from the very beginning of the video is upside down. It should be installed coming up from the bottom of the lever.!!!!!!
Not according to the parts diagram? Where did you get that from?

@@petedymond All other videos show it comes in from underneath. I see it shows the hook facing down in the parts list - but the actual installation should be the other way round. I actually have the CC30H which is almost identical and it definitely makes a note that you do not install it as you have shown.
@@petedymond Hi Peter just checked on line again and the two I checked all had the cable coming from underneath ua-cam.com/video/MXokKfBzxOw/v-deo.html
Great update to the previous video regarding the idler pulley retainer bolt. I too had a broken idler rod, and have replaced it. Still have a clanking noise, though, when the belt is engaged. I'll try inspecting the belt itself to see if it has been damaged.
Second time I refer to your video, have in the saved section. Thanks again, you have helped out a lot of fellow mowers out there (myself included) 👍
Just picked up a tractor just like this for free. Belt kept coming off and I found a broken "rod" on top of the deck and had no idea what it was. Now I know and will have to order this rod. Thanks.
My mower is missing the spacer, cannot find it online anywhere, anyone know if I’m not using the correct keywords or what the issue is
Here is the link to the parts diagrams: www.jackssmallengines.com/jacks-parts-lookup/part/troybilt%20tb30r

@@petedymond thank you
Thank you for the video!! Was a lot easier than it looked took longer to get the bolts off than anything else!!
Woooowwww! I have been having the same issue! Jimmy rigged my belt assembly as much as I can to keep the belt on. Had NO idea my idle puller also snapped off. Found it in the yard months ago and just threw out having no idea what it was from. About to buy a new 3k lawn mower today out of absolute frustration with this belt. I have UA-cam one last chance and your video was first listed and saved my frckn day!!!
Awesome! So glad the video helped. Thanks for sharing
Both of your videos , very helpful. Thanks a ton!
Good fix Mr Dymond
Thanks, I really appreciate the info
Thanks for the update. Man that belt costs a fortune.....
Always good to see someone admit they're beat. I'm something of a McGiver myself so I feel your pain. Good job.
Yes but I won in the end!!!!
Has anyone ever had an issue with the blade not disengaging?
So your blade spins even after you move the lever to disengage position? Hard to imagine how that's possible.
The pulley bracket would have to stick in the engage position
@petedymond it spins the whole time the engine is running. Yeah I cannot figure it out.
I made the mistake of installing the idler height adjustment bar on top of the that bar instead below it. The belt would come off every time I adjusted it to the high position.
I did the same thing! 🤣
Thank you
Supposed to be the same set up as a Craftsman R110, but it's not, mines different.
That's interesting. I looked up the 2020 R110 diagram and it looks almost identical. They're all made by MTD.
What year is yours?
What's different?
@@petedymond I don't have roll pin on the tensioner pulley, I should of taken pictures of it all but being an arrogant auto mechanic I ripped into and now I'm Lost, the schematic shows it laid out like your's, but mines not like that, I have One of those extended warranties from Sears, and I think the Guy that worked on it retrofitted it, because the belt is longer than the one it calls for, I'm stuck. 🙁
Mr Dymond have you had any problems with your TB30 r engine surging
Yes, carb related. You can take it apart and clean it or for $20 buy a replacement and be done with it.
@@petedymond Mr. Dymond I had a problem with surging that plagued me for 9 months replaced the carb and in a few months the problem it was back again my first incentive was to eliminate the fuel solenoid valve and install a fuel shut off valve. I didn't follow my instincts and I should have I went back and removed the fuel solenoid plugged the port capped the wires installed a fuel shutoff valve and no more problems .When I finish with the mower I turn the fuel shutoff to the off position and run the fuel out from the fuel shutoff valve including any remaining fuel in the carb to insure no ethanol deposits remain after prolonged times of unuse hope this is good info for you.
@@davidherrington4623 Thanks! I just cleaned mine once and it helped. My neighbor across the street had the same mower until he hit a tree stump and destroyed the deck. Anyway, he bought a new carb and it solved it.
I've heard of deleting the solenoid. I'll have to try that...next video!
