Easy to follow and thorough step by step tutorials do it yourself (DIY) to help you with your broken lawn and garden equipment including snowblowers.
I do my best to teach you how to easily diagnose problems the fastest, quickest and most efficient way with real repairs beyond just replacing a spark plug. These tips are for both the homeowner and shop owner.
Whether it be a handheld, two stroke, two cycle engine like a chainsaw, weed eater, weed wacker, string trimmer, grass trimmer, line trimmer, hedge trimmer, strimmer, brush cutter, leaf blower, or four stroke, four cycle units like a lawnmower, wood splitter, lawn tractor, snowblower, pressure washer, generator or a ride on mower that needs parts installed or replaced, I’m your go-to guy.
My favorite brands of spark plugs are NGK and Champion and are the ones I recommend.
I’ve been a small engine mechanic for many decades and also run my own repair shop so my videos are loaded with tips and tricks that I have learned and want to share with you. You will also find many tool and product reviews from top brands on my channel as well.
I have the largest Small Engine Repair Video Library on UA-cam and the entire internet with over 1200 videos, just GOOGLE "DONYBOY73"!

Donyboy, Just wanted to say thanks for all your great videos! Have overhauled both riding mowers and also my Craftsman snow blower with no problems at all after watching numerous videos from you.
Alway you are do it !!!! Simplify explanation , I like it thx. Dony boy 73
Very helpful. I got a Poulan Pro...this is exactly what I needed to do. Thank you.
Very clear explanation.
Definitely a must-watch video. Thanks for helping us out. ✌️
Another great, easy to understand video from my man donyboy73. Thanks for taking the time to produce! Well done.
I have a YT4000 and needed these instructions 3 months ago.
There was absolutely NOTHING on UA-cam [or even the internet about this]. Everything said - Replace the belt. When doing so, the adjustment was displayed.
Thanks, Dony.
Great video as always! Just wanted to let you know I was 16 or so when I started watching and when I was 18 I got a job at a local hardware store working as a mechanic and was able to perform all work needed bevause of you!
great!
Thanks for the video. I have a mower just like that and never knew that you could adjust the belt tention.

Awesome, I learned something new today!! Thank you!!👍🔥
Thanks Dony. I got a old Scott’s by John Deere. I have never did this on my tractor but I will look into it.
This answered my Question Below! Thanks
Great video Don! I have a Husqvarna, tractor haven't needed to adjust the belt yet. Have noticed that bracket, did not know what it is for till now, thanks
That looks too easy ! Great tip, Don ,Thanks !
Awesome video, have learned a lot from your videos so you have my gratitude for the experience I've gained.....
"O Canada".
Outstanding video, thank you 👍👍
Thank you Mr. Donyboy73.
Wow awesome thanks for the save
Very good video,thank you very much!!!
Thanks Dony.
Thanks. Can't believe how long I put up with a loose belt because I was scared to screw something up!
Right Belt, Easy Install
Thanks for the video.
I never noticed that bracket. Merci Dony.
Nice tip !
good information, thank you ...
Replaced the belt on my 38" MTD mower deck because the blades weren't fully engaging. New belt didn't help. I don't have the sliding cable bracket like the one in the video but decided to remove then non adjustable bracket and turn it around and reinstall it. Put the cable back in the notch with the bolt loosely installed before you completely turn the bracket 180° or the tension will not allow it to be placed in the notch. Probably have worn pulleys causing the problem but they only come with the spindles as a single unit. The spindles are still good. Now the PTO lever works like it should and the blades fully engage and disengage correctly.
Great video Dony., Have you seen many John Deere riding rowers, mine is a model 135, 42" deck, where the gas tank leaks?
I purchased mine in 2006, I have not seen any leaks, but from looking at the videos on UA-cam, it's a real job replacing it. The old tanks had a seam on the bottom edge, the new tanks are one piece. Thanks!
Thank you very much
great as usual
I have a Craftsman lawn tractor and have had to tighten the belt on it several times, but now it needs to have the battery charged or changed, and the leaf rake attached to it since the tractor have not been used all Summer long.
Great Video but how do you do with a old Craftsman tractor that has different setup like mine I change the belt for a new one but fits a little tight and when I turn the engine the blades turn too I checked online but my tractor don't have any setup to adjust the belt in this case what would you recommend to do.
thanks for the video. i do have question it looks like very similar model of tractor . I am working with a Craftsman917.276642 Briggs & Stratton 20 hp intek gold 42in I am seeing Sparks come out from underneath the deck when I have the grass shoot tied up. if it wasn't tied up I wouldn't have noticed it. it happens once every so often. noticed it on a bright sunny day so it has to be a pretty good spark. it's a little loud when the blades are engaged more so than past mowers. but I didn't hear anything hit scrape vibrate. nothing out of the ordinary. I didn't see any videos on UA-cam about this so far. they are a few forms on the internet talking about it, there was talk of some kind of spark Gap possibly needing an adjustment they mentioned it was it was for using the engine to engaging the blades. mentioning it should be adjusted it could be igniting the exhaust fumes. I don't think i has that feature but figured I would mention it. obviously I'll check the spindles and pulleys if no one has any idea but figured I'd check to see if anybody had any guidance. thanks again
You just saved my animal shelter a couple hundred bucks in repairs thanks man!
where is the shelter?
hay I just got a craftsman lawn tractor with a bs 17.5, I cant find any model numbers for the tractor, and have no idea how old it is, but its in good shap, but there is a lot of play in the steering wheel, any tips on how to adjust?
Hey I had a question I hope you could help me with . I purchased a used Scotts 1742 Lawn Tractor and I tried looking it up in the manual but couldn't find the answer. On the Blade/PTO engagement lever I have to pull the lever further towards me to make the safety switch in order to start the mower. Should I have to do that? Or does the lever need some sort of adjustment to make the switch in its resting position. ? Thanks
Cool
That adjustment looks ideal, get the best balance of grip under load and slip when the blades are at rest.
Too much slip also creates heat and more unwanted wear.
Hi I have a yard machine and my bracket appears to be welded to the deck. What are some options I can do to fix this. I have read quite a few owners bought new belts only to have the same issue.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time, effort and rapid response!
On my Craftsman lt2000, the throttle from Max to minimum only adjusts a tiny little bit as far as RPMs. How would you adjust it so the throttle has a wider range or does that matter?
Hey Donyboy 73 will a troy-bilt 42 inch off a troy-bilt horse work on a TB Pony?
How about the deck belt on an 54" MTD 14ap805k730 that has a power PTO? I can't see anything to adjust the tension on the belt. I just replaced the belt and it keeps falling off.
I am hoping this is going to fix my issue, I broke my old belt because it was falling off at the front and cut itsslf, replaced that belt and had the same issue again with a new belt, Now I am ordering a 2nd new belt and going to tension it.
This looks almost identical to my tractor, except mine has a red push/pull button to engage the mowing deck. Will mine still have the adjustment shown?
Thanks Dony! I have that setup on my John Deere 135 riding mower. My deck "chirps" for a second when I engage the belt, but no issues going through high grass. Would that chirp mean the belt tension needs to be adjusted? Thanks!
POSSIBLY OR JUST GETTING WORN A BIT
how do i help my deck, and drive belts last longer since i just replaced them? is there a spray to help the belt
What about troy bilt 42" super bronco 06 model
Thanks for this. But my problem is not a slack belt when it is engaged but rather when disengaged there's so much slack the belt slips off the pully. Runs fine when engaged, but falls off when disengaged. I made the adjustment you showed here but it did not change the slack when disengaged. I put a new belt on, and it has the same issue. I'm now ordering a belt that's 1.5 Inches shorter than specified to see if that works and won't fall off when slack.
Any other suggestions? Thanks
Sir please Honda exk 2800s self start valve cleaners intack and exzast
I have the larger version (54 inches) of this, It has a pull knob and no cable to be found. Any ideas?
My belt jumps off the pulley when I disengage the blades. New belt. On a 2016 craftsman t1000
What if there isn’t a bracket to adjust? Is there another way?
Today I found out something new.
This was easy money for the shop.

- Not really.... If you charge them LE$$, they will remember and come back for more! You got a lot to learn about " Business " !!!
Why does my belt pop off when I dissingage the the mower deck ?
Donny boy I'm not getting anything when I turn key. I know battery is good. I was told it might be PTO Lever
check tractor fuse, sometimes solenoid needs to b replaced
@@donyboy73 thank you. Will keep you updated on my progress.
That was set up wrong to start with, the idea of the hump is to stop the bracket from rotating by sitting in the slot, which is how you set it, so now the bracket is installed correctly.
I tend to agree with you, it looks like it’s not slotted to be able to adjust it but to be held by the one screw. I don’t know, kind of odd design either way. That bracket can’t really rotate much regardless, given the alignment of the tension.
So my belt is still loose when it's on the tightest setting... Any ideas?
you probably need to replace it
what happens when it keep throwing belts?
check pulleys and belt guard on main engine pulley, you might have to replace belt
This applies for THIS tractor, however other tractor manufacturers out there designs of belt installation and mechanical engineering are always different and vary a great deal from one another.
yes some don't have that adjustment
My tractor doesn't have that adjustment .
check the belt
that pos needs all the help it can get..i got exact 1..frustrating
1/2” is 13mm not 10mm. That would be the 7/16”
I said on john deere they are 10mm
