A V-belt is used on riding lawn mowers and yard tractors to turn the blades and the accessories of these power tools. The engine pulley, which supplies power, is connected to the cutting deck pulley, which turns the mower blades, with a V-belt. Over time the V-belt, which is made of rubber, may stretch, calling for the tension on the belt to be adjusted. Eventually the belt will wear to the point that it no longer turns the cutting deck pulley fast enough for the blades to cut grass. Sometimes the belt will crack with dry rot and break. In any of these instances, the solution is to replace the V-belt. In order to replace the V-belt, the cutting deck must be lowered completely. A worn belt will likely slip off the cutting pulley with little resistance. In case the belt is missing, the user will find a diagram with the proper V-belt routing on top of the cutting deck.

This air filter consists of an internal plastic frame with a foam mesh cover that captures dust and dirt. The outer, washable pad covers an accordion-style inner filter that removes even finer particles. An air filter keeps particles in the air from getting sucked into the motor, where friction will cause wear and tear to the engine. However, a filter has a limited life cycle. Eventually, it gets clogged up, which leads to limited airflow and decreased efficiency. If the engine is bogging down when it is revved up, a clogged air filter might be to blame. Simply install a new air filter and see if the motor performance improves. It is recommended to preemptively replace the air filter every spring so a clogged filter never puts a halt to a job in progress. This is an OEM part, sourced directly from MTD, and it is sold individually. In addition to MTD lawn equipment, it has also been used by other manufacturers, including Craftsman, Yard Machine, and Yard-Man.
