I’ve got a 2018 model T2290 tractor mower which needs a pulley replacement on the drive belt. Pulleys already ordered. Are there any good tips to make this laborious job go a little easier ?

Take before pictures as you disassemble.
Get a Workshop Manual if possible.
Ask questions here if you get stuck.
I see you've already read the other post for doing this - good luck!

A decent impact wrench makes removing the steering column and engine drive pulley easy. Could be pretty difficult without an impact.

Thanks … I do need to buy a manual. Do you if there a decent one available?

I couldn't find a WSM for free, maybe someone on here has one.

I did find a WSM for a T2290KWT-AU HERE for $20 issued in 2021. I don't know what the AU stands for and if it matters or not. Again, hopefully someone with more knowledge than I can enlighten us before you spend the money.
