XHT Predator Mower Blades
Sunbelt’s XHT and Predator blades feature a heat-treated steel that offers increased hardness as well as resistance to bending and impact damage. This results in a cutting edge that stays sharper, longer making XHT and Predator blades harder than standard lawnmower blades, providing the tightest tolerances when comparing all-makes blades vs. original equipment blades.
How to Change Lawn Mower Belts
Have you ever been in the middle of a multi-acre jobsite when you busted a lawn mower belt? Do you know where to find replacement lawn mower belts? Did you pack any extras in the truck before you left the shop, do you have to go all the way back to the shop, or do you have to go all the way to your nearest Gravely dealer and pray that their last customer didn’t clean through the dealer’s entire stock of the belts you need for your mower? Now that’s something to think about in the heat of the mowing season.
Depending on the dealer which you get your parts from, they may keep a healthy stock of replacement lawn mower belts, but on the other hand, they may not. If it’s the latter, a broken belt means you’re fresh out of luck and have quickly found yourself facing some serious downtime and an impact to this week’s profits.
Replacement lawn mower parts are just one piece of the equation. If something unexpected happens in the field, you need to have a fast solution, which is why we advise keeping a healthy supply of wear parts on hand. Not only do you need parts, but you also need to have the knowledge and tools that it takes to complete a field replacement. To you and your crews, that technical knowledge might be your biggest challenge.
Gravely develops equipment for commercial landscapers, and part of that means we design our equipment in a fashion that anticipates the needs of landscapers, even before those needs are realized. We know you may experience a surprise belt break, which is why we made it extremely easy for one operator to replace the mower belt in minutes with nothing more than a couple tools and minimal technical knowledge.
Help bridge that knowledge gap by scrolling through the step-by-step instructions that show how to replace a Gravely mower belt. In this example, we used a Pro-Turn ZX, but even if you’re using another Gravely commercial lawn mower, follow along anyway because the process is incredibly similar to the deck belt replacement procedure on any other current production Gravely commercial lawn mower. It may be helpful to go as far as to print these instructions and keep them in a binder as reference material for your crews.
As always with any service procedure, remember to read and follow the safety instructions in the operator’s manual of your unit. Only perform service procedures with the machine parked on a flat, level surface, with the parking brake engaged and with the key removed from the ignition.

How to replace a riding lawn mower blade drive belt
This DIY riding mower repair guide gives step-by-step instructions for replacing a blade drive belt on a riding lawn mower. The blade drive belt connects the engine pulley to the mower deck pulleys and spins the cutting blades. A worn blade belt won’t spin the blades fast enough to cut the grass. A broken blade belt won’t spin the blades at all. Examine the blade drive belt and replace it with a manufacturer-approved replacement part if you find damage or excessive wear.
Use this procedure to replace the blade drive belt on Craftsman, MTD, Husqvarna, Murray, Toro, Troybilt, Poulan and Snapper riding lawn mowers and lawn tractors.
This video explains how to replace the blade drive belt on a riding lawn mower.
Instructions
Disconnect the spark plug
Park the tractor on a level surface and set the parking brake. Turn the ignition switch off and remove the key. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Lift the tractor hood and disconnect the spark plug wire.
Pull off the mower deck
Lower the mower deck to its lowest position. Disengage the cutting blades. Roll the blade belt off the engine pulley and release the belt from the belt keepers. Remove the front lift link support retaining pin and washer, and then detach the support from the deck. Remove the left suspension arm retaining clip and washer. Then detach the arm from the tractor frame. Remove the left rear deck bracket retaining clip and washer. Then release the bracket from the deck. Repeat the process on the other side of the deck to disconnect the right suspension arm and right rear deck bracket. Pull the deck out far enough to access the blade drive belt.
Remove the old blade drive belt
If the belt is still intact, note the routing of the blade belt through the pulleys and belt keepers. If the belt is broken, refer to the belt routing sticker on the deck or your owner’s manual for guidance. Release the belt from the idler pulleys, belt keepers and mandrel pulleys. Pull the belt off the mower deck.
Install the new blade drive belt
Loop the new belt around both mandrel pulleys. Route the belt through the idler pulleys and belt keepers.
Reinstall the mower deck
Push the deck under the tractor frame. Reconnect the front lift link support to the deck with the washer and retaining clip. Reconnect the left suspension arm and deck bracket with the washers and retaining clips. Repeat the process to reconnect the right suspension arm and deck bracket. Route the blade belt through the belt keepers and roll the blade belt onto the engine pulley.
