Hello Cheri,


Removal & Installation

1. Before servicing the vehicle, refer to the Precautions Section at AutoZone.com
2. Rotate the drive belt tensioner counterclockwise to release the spring tension.
3. Remove the drive belt.
4. To install, reverse the removal procedure. Make sure the belt is properly seated.

Go to the manufacturersame website, enter in the the model number and look under diagrams for the pic of your tractor. My troy Bilt has 2 belts, one for the cutting deck and the other is the drive belt. I would replace both as the cutting deck needs to be removed and it's fairly simple and will save you time. It sounds let the drive belt is the reason for the tractor not moving. Hope this helps.

My tractor is a 2007 troy Bilt super bronco with a new fresh installed motor.

First guess would be faulty fuel pump. Maybe clogged fuel filter.

might be the belt drive which needs to be replaced every 12'000 miles
- change the variator belt

Pull the tension off the tension pulley & remove belt
or just cut it off

Use a very long 1/2" drive ratchet in hole on tensioner

Make a drawing before removal

I'm not sure what you mean by "engage the clutch". If you mean when you pull the clutch lever, the noise goes away, I'd check the tension on my final drive belt. If the belt is loose, when the engine tries to slow the motorcycle down, the final drive belt tries to rise up off of the front belt pulley making it rub the underside of the starter to inner primary housing. When you pull the clutch lever in, you disengage the engine from the transmission and the engine breaking force is removed from the front pulley and the belt goes back down on the pulley.

Good Luck

lift the front of the tractor up at least 3 feet and lower the mow deck to give you clearance. push the clutch pedal and lock it down to release belt tension. remove the mower belt from the engine pulley only. remove the trans belt from the idlers about midway back then from the trans pulley & finally from the engine pulley. put the new belt around the engine shaft above the mower drive pulley but not on the drive pulley then around the trans pulley. now you can put it on the drive pulley and finally on the idlers. make sure you have it under all the various keepers or the belt will shred in like 10 minutes. release the clutch pedal & check the belt again to ensure it is in the correct place. replace the mower drive belt & ensure that didn't come off other pulleys in the process. lower the front of the tractor and test

Belts = quite, durable, less cost to replace.
Chain = noisy, last longer, messy oil spots on floor, good ones cost $400.00 or more, have to keep adjusted, hard to break. Im a chain man myself.
