I have a Bolens riding lawn mower and the belt snapped. We have a replacement belt, but can't find my owners manual - I need to know where/how to tighten it? Anybody please?
I have accessed the company's website to get a manual download, however they do for whatever reason do not recognize the serial and model number on the riding mower... I am not sure why - as I have tried it with dots, slashes, hyphens and spaces [the only thing missing are the bells and whistles] and still no results...

I am sure eventually I'll figure it out - or take to the next repair place - it's simply that I would have liked to get the grass cut this weekend...

well, it should have a spring loaded belt tentioner. look around at all of the pullys that it goes on to, check if any of them move around. the belt may actualy be loose when the blade isnt engaged so try turning the lever and see if it tightens up some.

MTDParts.com will show you how to change the deck belt on a riding lawn mower.

I was mowing on a semi-old riding mower and the belt that turns the blade broke. I'm not sure how old it really is but I know that the belt wasn't in the best shape. Anyway, It's a Bolens 2133 Riding Lawn Mower, One Step Molching Rider. I'm not sure about measurements on the belt length either, but the belt has a groove down the middle (as opposed to being just a regular belt that's flat) Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks,
Kyle

Take the old belt and the model information to your local lawnmower repair shop. They will be able to order a belt for you if they do not have one in stock. A lawn mower shop that sells Bolens mowers would be the best bet, but any shop can take care of your needs.

Good luck with your problem.

Well, you should post the model number of the mower and perhaps someone can find the manual.

Help. I removed my deck, replaced the blades and put the deck back on. Unfortunately, I can't get the belt around the pulley in front between the wheels. Is there a trick??? It is an older craftsman riding lawn mower.
Thanks.

Some of the Murray built lawn mowers require you to pull up the steering column to be able to get the drive belt around the engine pulley. In any case go to the Sears site and see if there's a PDF file for intruction manual, It should give you a hint on replacing either belt.
