42" Wizzard replacing blade belts. Read drop deck by removing pins?

Question

Saw something about the tensioner, I take it those are the small pulleys? What needs to be done with them? Do I need to raise the mower on ramps to make easier? No experience. Are there diagrams out here somewhere?

Answer 1

You are working above the deck and below the frame. Not much room. the deck is supported on each side by rods or flat metal fastened to the frame. removing the pins, lets the front of the deck drop so you can replace the belts. Tensioners are the pulley (s) attached to a spring. you have to push against the springs while threading the belt. releasing the spring holds the belt tight
