When you take the automatic unit on your bull's 22-inch 6.5 HP GTS mower and does not automatically move forward, the belt slides too likely to engage properly. This means that the drive belt that runs the front wheels of the motor must be replaced. The process does not require the help of a certified Toro repairman. In fact, you can complete the repairs in your own backyard with a simple key or set.
Instructions
1 Unplug the spark plug wire to ensure there is no possibility of the motor looking by accident. It will work around the cutter blades which is vital to deactivate the engine.
2 Place the mower on the left side or so the black cover on the left wheel rests on the ground.
3 Remove the two 3/8 inch bolts that hold the cover in place with a wrench and then place the cap aside.
4 Remove the mower blade with a 5/8 inch wrench and then place the blade aside.
5 Remove the top screw that holds the strap guide in place with a 5/8-inch wrench. Loosen the lower screw that holds the guide in place with the same wrench and then move the belt guide away from the driver assembly.
6 Remove the belt from the pulley on the driver assembly and then pass through the cover toward the front of the mower.
7 Remove the strap from around the pulley on the front of the mower and then pull the strap out of the "fingers" on the mounting bracket with your fingers. Discard the old belt.
8 Place the strap between the "fingers" and then loop the strap around the pulley on the front of the mower. Pass the belt through the hole in the cutting platform.
9 Place the belt around the pulley under the mower and then turn the guard into position. Secure the protection by tightening the screws.
10 Place the cutting blade on the shaft and tighten with the correct screw.
11 Place the cover on the front of the machine and secure it with the two correct screws.
12 Reconnect the spark plug wire to the cutter.
