THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! I am an elderly female that grew up on a farm and NEVER backed off on tools & repairs. Just getting shops to give me tge correct replacement parts is a battle. Most times i have to take the broken/used part with me because they treat me like im an idiot. Your video is very detailed and right to the point! Thank you.😅

So I'm back watching this video again. Spring is here and I'm readying my tractor, and of course I recall nothing from last time.
Thank you. My E-140 belt broke today and thanks to you, and a few others, I got the deck off and cleaned, and the new belt on and working, all in the space of and hour or two. I’m older and so my wife helped and we got it done.
I’m glad you were able to get the job done. Thank you for the kind comment.
Thanks for this video I was able to learn how to put my belt back on the deck. Have a blessed week.
Thanks, im glad it was helpful! you too!
Thank you for this video! My belt broke and was looking for a belt guide to show me how the belt went thru the pulleys! So this is absolutely ideal. Thumbs up!
Hi Keith, I’m glad it was helpful. Thank you for watching and commenting.
The VERY best video for belt replacement!!! Looked at others, but yours is the BEST! Quick, to the point, no nonsense & great tips along the way!
I’m glad it was helpful and thank you for multiple kind comments:)
Thank you! One handed and more handy than I have been my whole life, nice breakdown!
I’m glad the video helped you! Thank you for the kind words :)
One thing to mention, when putting the new belt in, it needs to go with a certain side facing in, certain side facing out, and should not twist at any point. I made both of these mistakes and ended up having a deck that was shaking when running, tore it apart again and figured this out.
So which side faces in? Flat side?
Both…. Some of the pulleys are flat and some are grooved. Lay the belt out straight and start with flat pulley on flat end of belt and wind it thru, if correct all the flat sides of the belt will meet the flat pulleys and all the grooved sides will meet the grooved pulleys, without twisting the belt

@@chaddodson1481will a 48"deck except a 42" deck equally?
I'm brutal to my mower and busted the belt. With your video as my guide i was able to put the new belt on exactly as you showed. First time I've ever worked on any kind of lawn mower/tractor. You rock! Thank you!

Thank you! My belt came undone after hitting a stick. All I had to do with your video was pause it to see exactly how the belt went on the pulleys. Idk why its so difficult for John Deere to put real pictures of how things are supposed to look in their manual. Thank god for youtube.

Watch this video carefully My mower deck problem was solved with deductions and process of elimination from this video. Thanks goes out to Johnson's for this video. The issue as an installer error - and I am the installer. The error: The three spindle pulleys on the 48 inch D-140 mower deck are not symmetrical. I mounted the three new spindle pulleys upside down! That caused the belt to be about 1/2 inch too low across the back of the mower deck and rub on the rear mounting points - that destroyed the belt in a couple minutes. I realized my mistake, flipped over the three pulleys and the problem was solved with the addition of a new Kevlar wrapped belt. The three idler and guide pulleys are symmetrical and doesn't make a material difference which side is up. Again thanks to Johnson's!
As a fellow mechanic with 1 hand, love ur video bro you motivate me. Keep it up. 💯
Thanks, will do! Was yours a accident? or Birth?
@JohnsonsSmallEngines I was shot in the head lost use of my left arm
Kudos to you on the video, thanks for showing how easy it is to change out the belt.

@@JohnsonsSmallEngines Not a problem. Just now dropped deck on this john deere d140. Took me 2 minutes and without you posting that video I probably would've considered buying a new mower vs replace bearings on my own.
You have mechanical talent and thank you for sharing to those who are not.

Just installed the new belt! Last time I couldn't figure out the install so I took it to the JD shop. Your video was great! My only issue was reinstalling that butterfly clip. I don't think it's secure enough.... but we are cutting away! Thank you!

Good tip on belt cover guide. Thanks
Hi John, they are important!! Thank you for the comment and watching! Please give this video a thumbs up to help my channel! It would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the video, I used fat fewer four letter words than normal. As a suggestion, if you could show the pu back together that would save us a lot rewinding..
I'm glad it was helpful and thank you for commenting. I have learned alot about making the videos in the last couple years and all videos that I make now will show from start to finish. I will need to remake this video when I get a John Deere D140 that needs a mower deck belt.
Now if you have a video about that belt tensioner spring ill be set! I can sort of see where it hooks..
Outstanding! You sir, are my hero.
I’m glad it was helpful, thank you for the kind words. Thank you for watching!
excellent video - it was great to see how fast the belt can be changes and the deck off and on again so quickly. the video is about the best that i have seen in my repair quest, After years of use of my 48 inch Deere with D140 tractor, the idler pulleys finally went bad with one of the small ones actually seizing. I rebuilt the deck with all new spindles, spindle pulleys, blades, belt and the three idler pulleys. However the new belt was immediately (30 seconds) torn up. I suspect that I over tightened the idler pulley nut(s) and that is the issue to try to solve.
Thanks, just replaced mine and felt weird that the back part of the belt goes in a straight line between the two rear pulleys and gets really close to the metal frame. Guess that's just the wait it is.
Excellent video, helped us out a ton, thank you!

Hey again, my 140 is 8yrs old and just ordered the first deck belt replacement !! My reverse has been slow for a little bit, no previous service either … do you have any videos or ideas on that issue ?
I would suggest cleaning any debris from around all linkage to the foot pedals back to the transmission and look for any loose or worn parts.
@@JohnsonsSmallEngines thank you.
First of all, Very detailed and concise. Great video. I just replaced my belt today in my D140. But after getting everything completed, it seems like the belt is slipping. The blades will finally turn but as soon as there is any resistance the blades just don’t turn and the belt is getting really hot. Besides the tension pulley on the deck, how can I adjust this? Or what did I do wrong?
I always wonder why the belt broke or why you need to install a new one. That being said make sure you double check to make sure all is good with your pulleys and blade bearings and double check the belt is running around all pulleys properly. Did you purchase a genuine John Deere belt? If you have a aftermarket belt it may not be correct.
@@JohnsonsSmallEngines Mower is 6 years old. Had some chunks out of the existing belt. Figured it was time for a new one while I had it off to sharpen the blades. Everything went back on perfectly. I triple checked the belt to make sure the flat aside of the belt was on the flat pulleys and tapered side was around the tapered pulleys and the pulley coming from the engine. Soon as I’d run it in the grass it wouldn’t cut blades would stop and belt was hot as all get out from just rubbing on the pulleys.
@@JohnsonsSmallEngines I have the old belt still. I’m gonna put it back on and see if it still does it. Maybe I got a bad belt or something… I dunno.
Great video! Thanks for making it. I get the belt on but it keeps coming off as soon as I engage the blades. I confirmed the belt isn’t twisted and follows the correct path. Any suggestions? I wonder if I have a bad pulley?
Check the belt guides to make sure the guides are in correct position and the belt is running correctly. Check your belt covers are on correct. You may also want to purchase a new belt. It sounds like your belt guides are not working for you.
@@JohnsonsSmallEngines thanks. I have a new belt. I may have a bent the pulley with the spring tensioner.
Perfect.
Hi Timothy, I'm glad it was helpful!
Do you really need to remove the deck?
But… how to get the belt back on the drive/clutch pulley? That’s the hardest part
GREAT !!!
I'm glad this was helpful! Please give it a like to help the channel. Thank you for watching.
I bent the guides with a wrench because I couldn't get the pulleys off of a couple pulleys and then bent them back (although not perfectly). Do you see a problem with that?
As long as the belt doesn’t fall out between the pulley and the guide when the parking brake is on, meaning when the belt is in the non tension position, it should be ok.
@@JohnsonsSmallEngines Thanks! I wished I would have watched your video, I thought the pulley was on with a key or something.
Doing this today and the belt pulleys will not raise up or come off....I got the pulley's for the blades off but had to use a pry bar to pop them loose.....right now even using a pry bar the other pulley's will not budge.
Try a little PB blaster penetrating fluid. I have also found that using two pry bars, one under each side of the pulley evenly across from each other and pry up at the same time works well.
Did you find a way to get belt pulley raise up? One of my belt pulley doing same thing. Does not budge even when using pry bar and PB blaster.
Good, clear video. My belt went on fine, but needs some adjustment. Do you have a video on adjusting a belt on this type of deck, ie, a deck WITHOUT a cable adjustment? Thanks!
There are no adjustments. Belt tension is spring loaded only.
My damn belt keeps popping off and I'm so tired of having to call someone to put it back on. I've already replaced all but 2 pullys, and I think I should do them to maybe stop this from happening 😩 I work on cars.... not mowers lol I should learn this for the love of God 😂
Thanks for the tip. Can't this be done with the deck still under the mower tho?
Give it a go and let me know how you make out?
👍🏼
TY!
