The drive belt on my Simplicity Coronet hydrostatic drive riding mower recently slipped off when I went over a bump. The belt is still in-tact, and this is the only time the drive belt has slipped off in the 10 years I have owned the mower (it's a 2000 Simplicity Coronet - model/part number 1692515), and I have to put it back on without taking the transmission off. Just trying to learn some tips for how to do that since it's a tight fit in the space where the drive belt is located when connected to the motor/engine pulley, the transmission pulley, and the tensioner (is this also referred to as the 'idler'??) pulley.
So far I have muscled the belt back onto the motor/engine pulley (it was tough getting it to fit between the guard and the pulley channel), wrapped the belt around the transmission pulley, and I'm having trouble putting the belt back into the tensioning pulley due to the guard that's built onto that pulley as well as the fact that a spring is keeping tension on that pulley. Does anyone have any suggestions for how I can get this belt back on as well as perhaps a diagram of the belt installation so I know I'm putting it on correctly?
