Thank you very much! I appreciate the support! Thank you for watching!
My Husqvarna developed a screeching, near deafening loud sounds that I could sometimes lessen by gently touching the brake pedal. I recorded the horrible sounds, went to and played it for my long time local mower/equipment shop guy. He said “could be this, could be that, it’ll take about a week or more to pull it all apart and get it back to you for a couple hundred but possibly more depending on what I find. I’m retired with a failing fixed income with an ever present subtle fear losing our home of 40 years in the not too distant years. I watched your post, cleaned out the compressed grass and presto, the horrible chattering sound has disappeared. I’m one very, very, very happy old guy. I’ll always look to you first for insights from now on. Thanks for what you bring to our world and I’ll share you freely with all. Butch McGuire at 81.
I’m glad you found the video helpful! When I am doing DIY type things I usually have my camera going because it’s not that much harder to film the process. That way someone else can save a little bit of time or money by doing it themselves! Thank you for watching!
If you'll use air hose to blow all the clippings off after every use, including raising the hood, and blowing fan, battery area. Down beside the rear of engine you'll find two openings, one at each corner, there is a round hole, this is the area where you cleaned out. Use air hose to blow down each opening couple times, alternating back and forth, this will prevent that from happening.
Also try not to wash mower deck when it's just finished mowing, because this tends to kill the bearings in your idler pulleys' and spindles. Even if you wash it after it's cooled down, be sure to run it for few minutes to dry water off everything, are use air hose attachment to blow all pulleys and spindles off. Otherwise water sets on them, and will seep into sealed bearings washing grease out prematurely.
These few things is what I've learned over the years, from my own mistakes in thinking I was doing the best I could to maintain my mowers. Only to figure out that I was doing more harm, by doing the things I was doing.
Also on bigger decks, I add another wash attachment connection to the opposite side than the factory installed one, and this makes sure that entire under deck area is washed free of built up clippings.
Hope this helps you, out, by learning from mistakes, and I made, and learning how to correctly do things, saving lots of headaches, and money needed other places .
Yes !! I use my leaf blower, or my compressor with an extension on my air nozzle, it's about 16" long and does a GREAT job of keeping everything clean. It's much better for the machine for obvious reasons too ! I wash my tractor regularly just like I wash the cars and truck, I blow dry them too. Well worth the time ! Only takes a few minutes but makes a big difference, especially if/when I do have to work on it !
Finally!! Thanks for the video. I have been trying to figure this out for a while now. I had just enough power each time to cut the grass but it was a struggle. I have tried a lot of stuff and was getting ready to change the drive belt when I found this video. 5 mins of cleaning and I was back up and running like it was new!
Thank you VERY MUCH. Common sense fix that I didn't have enough sense to figure out. Back in action in just a couple of minutes. Brief & straight to the point. Many thanks.
That’s great! Glad you were able to get back to it so quickly! Thank you for watching and please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!

@@Honestandtruth thank you for watching, I’m glad it was helpful!
I am surprised that more haven’t been posted about this issue. I was about ready to buy a new mower. I used an air compressor with a long tip. This allowed me to bust up the clumped grass and blow it clean. Thank You!
This would have to be one of the most useful posts on UA-cam. Have used it successfully several times over the life of this old yard tractor. Many thanks for your friends from down under. Cheers
Thanks! I truly appreciate it and I’m glad it was helpful more than once! Thank you for watching and also check out my other mower maintenance videos if you are interested! Kind of amazing that the video has reached around the world from her in the northeastern U.S.
Thanks for making this, I kept losing power while I was driving mine and it almost seemed like the belt was slipping because it would just slowly pick up speed. I just did this, instant acceleration again. Thanks!
I’m glad it worked for you! It’s amazing how much clippings get stuck up there! Thank you for watching, please give the video a thumbs up if you found it helpful! Thanks again.
This clip solved a problem I've been facing for years. Thank you from Wisconsin!

Replaced the belts and still wouldn’t climb the slightest incline, was getting ready to take the transaxle out and replace the fluid, but I found your video and behold I removed a huge chunk of hardened grass clippings thanks to your help and now it flys up the steepest of hills!
Thank you for watching, I’m glad it was helpful! Please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!
Was just about to change belt and saw your video, thanks, it worked like a charm. It saved me money and time!
Randy Rust glad I could save you a little of both! Thank you for watching! Please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!
Dude, you're my hero. Thanks for this simple but powerful tip. My tractor is back to running normal.
I’m glad it was helpful! Such a great feeling when you hit that pedal and it moves like it should! Please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thanks for watching!
THANK YOU!!! I actually pulled the transaxle and changed the oil in my Husqvarna lawn tractor because I was having the same issue and some posts said maybe the transaxle was low on oil or the oil had broken down. Well... it was a little low on oil so I took care of that with the new oil, but after I reassembled everything, the "go" was no better. Then I found your video and Ah Ha! I had the same issue with the clump of dirt and grass keeping the belt from tightening. 30 seconds later my mower drives like new. Thanks for taking the time to post this!
Paul Ortmann thank you for watching, I’m glad the video was helpful. It’s amazing how much a small clump of grass can screw it up! Please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thanks again and glad that you fixed it!
Can't say thank you enough. This was a life saver. My mower was only 4 months old and thought I was going to have to fight to have warranty work done. Thank goodness it was just grass accumulation.
jow popper that’s great, glad you found it helpful and that you didn’t have to go through with a warranty fight! Thank you for watching and please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thanks again!
@@5MinuteFixit I have a 4-year-old Husqvarna YTA22V46 lawn tractor that has given me nothing but fits, especially with the so-called "automatic" transmission. These tractors are poorly designed and lots of debris accumulates in the back of the mower where the pullies for the drive belt and transmission belt are located. To clean, you need to remove the battery and clean with either a hose or compressed air. The tractor is supposed to have a top-end speed of 7.5 mph, but I've been on it when the tractor could only go about 2 mph and would have trouble making it up a slight grade. I'm very disappointed in this lawn tractor and will most likely sell it after this cutting season and buy something else.
Brilliant!! I've had it serviced twice this problem and though I'd finally replace the belts. When looking how to install found this video. I just loosened the grass and vacuumed it out. Worked a treat!!!
Can always fix myself now, thanks
I’m glad you found the video and were able to get it fixed! Thank you for watching and please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!
I was just about to purchase a new drive belt then watched your video. Excellent, saved the day! Thank you
That’s great! I’m glad it fixed the problem! Thank you for watching and please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!
Glad I watched your video before I tried to change the drive belt, mine was clogged up really bad. Dropped the deck, cleaned it out and problem fixed. Thanks
Thanks, for the well done video. My sears PYT9000 is very similar, with the same symptoms. An extensive cleaning did the trick!
Thank you so much! Had the same problem on a Craftsman mower made by Husqvarna. Changed the transaxle fluid and filter with no effect. Ordered a drive belt, then came across this video while waiting for it to arrive. I always use a leaf blower to clean the deck and mower after mowing, but had no idea that a clump of grass in could stop the machine from climbing a small hill. With the great editing and knowing exactly where to look, I found the clump of grass causing the problem in seconds and now it climbs like a billy goat. Thanks again!
Thanks for watching I’m glad the video helped you get your mower back to working order! It’s amazing what that a relatively small clump of grass can cause this issue! Thanks again and also for the Super Thanks!
Thank You a lot !!! You saved me some money and an hour of work. Greetings from Poland 🍺🍺🍺

Thanks. This fixing my problem!!!
While I was under my mower looking to see how the belt was run,, I saw the debris and cleared it out, had no idea that was the problem. Thankfully I saw your video before I began to make the repair. Reattached the deck and thing ran like a champ. Thanks for the video. Saved me a lot of work.

Thank you. Saw this video, lowered the deck, cleaned out the clump of grass, mower doing great.
Thank you for watching, I'm glad it was helpful! Please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven't already! Thank You!
Thanks, I'll definitely check my Poulan Pro 500EX for that as right now the transmission slips on hills or towing a dethatcher and I've been using a gummi strap to hold my brake pedal all the way up ever since last year when I changed the noisy tensioner pulley :) If it turns out to be the belts though, I already have new ones here I ordered from Amazon last week and it could very well be both as the belts on it are the originals from when I bought my mower 11 years ago.
This solved my problem. I had lost both forward and reverse. I removed the mower blade housing for better access to the nooks and crannies then used my air compressor to blow debris out. To my surprise forward and reverse worked great. Easy and zero cost.
That's great! I'm glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching and please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven't already! Thank you!
Thanks that saved the day!
I took the deck off and used compressed air to clean the machine first (but I didn't clean that one area!). I mulch the leaves,big area, then bag the leaves second. We have 4 small dogs so it's a clean yard or you can't find the poops and keep leaves from being brought inside on their feet.
Thank you very much, this fixed my problem and taught me what to look out for in the future!

OH MY GOODNESS! After watching 8 UA-cam's on how to change the belt 😱😵💫😱😥 I gave UA-cam one more chance and found YOU! I didn't think it would work but I gave it a shot. Lot's of grass and 10 minutes later it WORKED!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! 😘
That’s great I’m glad it worked and you didn’t have to go through the trouble of changing the belt! Thank you for watching the video and please consider giving it a 👍🏻 if you haven’t already! Thank you!
something I never thought to check ,thanks

Mrrph! Just finished changing my drive belt. The old belt looked fine, but I did clean out a lot of crap in that area in the process. Thank you!
Thank you for watching! I’m glad it was helpful! Was your belt slipping before? Did cleaning the area help the issue?
Thanks for explaining its something I can try on my own mower.
This was exactly my issue. Thank you!!

Thank you!, thank you!, thank you! This was driving me nuts. Even though I was sure the belt and pullies were okay, I was ready to replace them all, but luckily I came across your video.. Easy free fix and on my regular maintenance schedule now.
I know, fairly simple things like this should be explained in the owners manual. Thank you for watching and please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven't already! Thank you!
Thank you. I did this and it worked! BTW I found you do not need to remove the desk, just lowe rit down and there is plenty of room to get this taken care of. Once again it worked great and saved me a trip to the repair shop.
That’s great! I’m glad it worked for you! I removed the deck to make filming easier. I probably should have mentioned that it’s not necessary to remove the deck. Thank you for watching and please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!
Thought my belt was going, I always blow the mower/deck off when done. Exact same problem, never saw it and it was just like yours. Glad I found your video, and thanks for making it.

Hey buddy...I owe you a beer, or maybe a whole case! I was about ready to put my mower up on a trailer and tow it to a repair shop half an hour away. Problem solved in 5 minutes. BTW, if you lower the mower deck to the lowest position, you don't need to remove it. Also, sticking a long screwdriver down thru those 2 cleanout holes in the frame will enable you to dislodge most of the impacted grass.
That’s great! I’m glad you found the video and were able to fix it before you brought it to the shop! That’s for the offer of the beer! I appreciate it, I’ll take a thumbs up on the video in place of the offer! Also thanks for the extra tips on on the clean out holes! Cheers!
I. had the same issue. Thanks you very much keep up the outstanding work.
Thanks for watching! I’m glad it was helpful! Please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!
Good info, my drive was slipping on my gth2654. I had over 100 hours on my belt, I mow about 4 acres of rough terrain and often high grass/weeds. So it seems my belt just got stretched. I sprayed some belt dressing I bought at the auto parts store...problem solved.
Awesome video! Saved my tail and tons of money! Thank you!!!
That’s great! Glad you were able to save a bunch of money! Thank you for watching and please consider giving the video a thumbs up or a super thanks if you haven’t already! Thank you!

I just ordered a new drive belt 3 days ago and then I saw this a few minutes ago... Went and checked and found TONS of grass in there!
We'll see if that does the trick the next mow. My yth22v46 is 10 years old, so it may still need a new belt, but this video is great!!
🍻
Hopefully its just the grass buildup that’s causing the issue! If so at least you have a spare belt for when you need it! Thank you for watching and please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!

Holy Butts. I can't say for sure this is my issue, but there is for SURE a LOAD of crap underneath I need to clean out, that can't be doing any good.
I've always only ridden other peoples lawn tractor. Just like people never think about checking fluids on a car til the first component fails- I'd never think to clear the grass off the mower til I have to maintain my own. Thanks!
I always use my leaf blower in my mower before putting it away, so it seemed unlikely that there would be any build up of clippings anywhere. Wrong! When I had the deck off I checked the area shown here and it was packed with debris, enough so it took me awhile to fish it out. Even though I had a new belt ready to install, I didn't need it. Now there is no slipping on hills. Thanks for the explanation and good video!

@@5MinuteFixit Yep I always thumbs up
Was just about to give up on my lgt2654, cause no matter what I do the belt slips so easily. Didn't know about this so I'm going to check it out tomorrow. Thx!
Did this remedy the problem, I hope so!
@@5MinuteFixit I believe so though it was on a different model there was some build up under that panel where the brake bar sits. So far havent had the belt come off so thank you!

Did your belt whine when you accelerated??? I have the same model and I just bought a new drive belt. Want to make sure it doesn’t wear the new one
@@alexchristian5399 Mine did not whine, simply would not move. Sometimes it would "try" to move but just couldn't.
Thank u for this.. my brake clutch spring broke..I didn’t know where it attaches to the frame..I can see it in this video
I’m glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching!
Just replaced drive belt and tractor wouldn’t move.
Watched your video and knew I had a clump of dried grass exactly where you showed.
Cleaned it all out (at least an inch thick), runs great now.
This is my neighbor’s tractor and no maintenance done whatsoever.
Thanks
I’m glad it was an easy fix and you didn’t have to replace the transmission or mower! Thank you for watching and please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!
Dude thank you so much for this video I wasn’t having that issue but some idiot who I bought my lawnmower from put the belt on wrong and it kept slipping off and after watching this video I realized it was on wrong and was able to reference this to put it on right!!!!!!

Bought a YTH22v42 with a supposed bad transmission got it home messed with it for a few then realized it had a huge amount of grass like yours did after I cleaned it out it’s been the best and cheapest mower I’ve had
That’s awesome, nothing better than a cheap find that treats you well and saves a bunch of money! Thank you for watching!
great video. thank you.

Do you know if the hydraulic fluid can be topped off or seals replaced? Pretty sure my right rear blew the seal but the boyfriend says it can’t be fixed on these?
@@elementalraven27 the fluid can be topped off but you have to remove the whole rear end and I believe they do sell rebuild kits for these. You would have to check to see if the seals are included in those kits. Thanks again, hopefully this helps!
Man I was about to throw my husq away. 400 hours on this bad boy. 2010 20/42 and it cuts 2 acres weekly. Rebuilt the transmission put a new drive belt on and it ran great. Fast forward 2 months and it doesn’t move again. Jacked it up and saw the drive belt has no tension when the brake is off. Damn it’s a new belt! Checked out your vid and I had to e exact problem major build up of grass. Hard grass clumps. Chipped it all away with a large flat blade and damn if this beast doesn’t now drive like the first day I bought it! Awesome man thanks a lot.

100% solves the problem. Thank you sir you saved me a bunch of time and money! A bit of a engineering over site from my point of view. I barely had forward and no reverse. The area in this video is just forward of the mowing deck and on top of flat surfaces. I had grass clippings dried hard as a rock just like he did in the video. Removed same and back up and running in less than 5-10 min. Reaching the area requires some patients and creative angles. Good luck out there and always watch for the kids!

Hi! What if the belt is still loose after cleaning?? It there a way to get more tension?
You, sir, just fixed my tractor. Cleaned everywhere BUT here trying to get this fixed. I cannot thank you enough!

Great vid!
Thanks and thank you for watching!
I think it’s annoying that the owner manual doesn’t guide you to this issue. I found out the hard way, new belt and idlers. It is a hard spot to get right into and I think that the manufacturers need to set up a solution in new models. Using a long nose air blower seems a good idea that I Haven’t tried, so thanks for the tip. I may make an adapted tool for this to really get into the tight places. Great vid, thanks
I also think they could have done a better design so this could have been avoided in the first place. Thank you for watching and please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!
