Replacing The Belts On A Kuhn GMD 600 II

For reasons originally unknown the belts on my mower were cut in two when I went to use it for the first time this year. This video shows the process for replacing the belts. It also chronicles the other repairs I had to perform in addition to the belts. I used 16mm, 17mm, and 18mm sockets and a 5/8 box end wrench during this project.

I like the concept that no matter the tools that are needed and the skills needed to develop a hay mower mechanism, a pry bar is essential on the farm.

I always keep one where I can find it.

How much tension should be applied to the belts? How tight?
