    Good morning, we just replaced the drive belt on out Troy-bilt pony mower. You have to remove the cover off the mower to get to the belts. The replacement belt we got from Lowe's had a diagram that showed how it goes on the pulleys. BE SURE TO REMOVE THE PULLEYS TO REPLACE THE BELT. My son replaced ours in about 15 minutes. Removing the pulleys was the key. He used a screw driver to put in the holes of the pulleys to keep them from continuous turning, loosened the nut on the pulley and they came right off. Then he slipped the new belt on, retighten the pulley and that was it. Depressing the clutch helps some when putting them on. GOOD LUCK
