Overview
A hands-on DIY walkthrough of replacing the mower deck belt on a John Deere 1025R, prompted by a self-inflicted belt mishap involving backed-over corn stalks. The video actually shows the disassembly process, removing drive-over ramps, the autoconnect gearbox, and idler pulley, which the host notes is more involved than expected due to the belt routing. Best for 1025R owners facing the same repair who want to see the real steps before attempting it themselves.
