    John Deere L130
    Subject: John Deere L130 Mower

    Is there a way to adjust the drive belt on this mower?
    Not the mowing deck belt but the drive belt.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Jimmy, most every tractor uses a spring loaded tensioner pulley to engage tension on the belts. Every swing arn has an adjustment to make the spring tighter or losser. Look for a nut on a shaft or bolt right on the wing arm.

    Thanks,
    I'm not at home now but will check and see if I can find this spring adjustment.
    I appreciate your response.
