t2090br-42 belt replacement

[Roger Patke]

I'm wondering if and one has a better way to replace the HST belt and pullies?
Poor design .
Does Kubota have any program to help the owner for this issue?
T2090br-42 HST belt replacement only 212 hours.
I own 2 Kubota tractors and both have had expensive part replacements.
My bx2380 only has 120 hours.

No good way to do it.

A lot of the Craftsman and Yard Man and Husqvarna and such, were similar in that you have to disassemble a lot of stuff to change a drive belt.

I run a business out of my home shop mostly repairing mowers. A craftsman, certain models, take me about an hour & a half to change a drive belt. At $85/hr it gets expensive, not even counting the belt itself, and any pulleys it needs. I have a yard full of them, abandoned, didn't want to spend money on 'em. It's crazy.

Anyway, there ain't no easy way. Take the mower deck off and start taking parts off til you can wiggle it in there. Check the pulleys, some are plastic and they do wear out with time.
