Toro Proline 220 PTO belt repacement

hunt4570 · Aug 13, 2015

So I bought this old Proline 220 mower and have been nursing it back to health, thought I was about done! Well I went to do some mowing the other day and the PTO drivebelt gave way.. RATS..
I ordered a new belt, it is on its way, but I can find no reference to how to change it anywhere.. nothing in the manual and so far nothing on line..

Anybody done this and have some words of wisdom for me... a how to reference link maybe...

Thanks

Well I got no replies and could find no directions anywhere.. so I went in blind... kinda, done a lot of this kind of stuff before.

Not too difficult , biggest pain was getting to it. Had to remove seat, the pan the seat sits on, the main frame cross member, and the gas tank. Gas lines were old and I split one so a trip to town was in order for new gas line.

Changing out the belt was pretty straight forward, but its a rather wide belt, very stiff, and was a bit of a bear to negotiate with!

Got it done and it works well... Now I need to take some glamor photos like I promised Xfaxman...

Good job. However, why would anyone make a machine that required all that work to replace a belt? Horrible.
