If it is still under warranty and it was from normal wear they will replace it but if not under warranty you'll have to buy a new one,and they can be costly.

No you don't, it's easy. Pull all the cotter pins out of the deck mounting brackets until the deck is laying on the ground and slide the deck out to the side. Make sure the parking brake is engaged so you have enough slack for the belt and start in back and work your way forward. You should see a little picture there somewhere on the mower of how to thread the belts through the tension pulleys. Then, put the deck back on.

SOURCE: I'm having trouble replaceing the motion drive

Often there is a keeper on the back of the pulley, and the belt must go inside the keeper. Get an inspection mirror up in there to look if necessary. Start by putting the belt on the transaxle pulley, then on the PTO pulley, then on the idler, last have someone sit on the mower and depress the clutch pedal while you put the belt over that pulley.

Peerless tecumseh transmission model mst-206-545c will not drive in gear

FYI I have a Craftsman LT1000 18HP twin opposed Briggs with a Peerless transaxle 206-545c 6 speed manual trans (not the Hydrostatic). I was given this Lawn tractor by a friend who took real good care of it. runs starts great but it started binding in 3rd gear and was very hard to get it out.of gear so by pushing the cluch/brake in and out manytimes and forcing forward into 4,5,6 gears I was able to get it out of 3rd.

Iam a mechanic and have over 30 years experience.so I decided to research the Peerless 206-545c transmission I found some great info online and helpful repair vids on youtube. I decided to post here to try and help people that are having the same issue with this trans. after I got the tractor in the garage I noticed the left rear wheel was wet on the inside with gear oil.so I decided to do a rebuild.after learning about this transmission.I went to sears parts direct.com and put in my craftsman mower model number and it came up with a exploded view of the tecumseh\peerless 206-545c. on the diagram. I found the 2 transaxle seals needed item# 157 and for like 15 bucks ordered them. you can order all the seals if you choose.

I realized that there is a fill PLUG ONLY and no drain plug on the bottom of transmission.you must take this transmission out of the tractor and lay it upside down in a oil catch pan and drain the fluid out. you must open the transmission all the way to replace the transaxle seals.Im told that most lawn tractors of today have disposable transmissions.another words they dont want you to fix them youreself they want you to bring it in so they can charge you to diagnose it and say yep you need a new transmission. lol thats why no drain plug.so if youre not a mechanic you gonna be payin boy..

I did find alot of BAD info in doing research on this transmission online ie: people posted wrong info saying that you just have to loosen all bolts on the trans case and you can put new seals in... VERY WRONG and the other wrong info was the amount of gear oil. the correct amount of 80w90w is 32oz 2/3 full from top(use a dowl or straw to measure. I use LUCAS high Performance. gear oil. I included a Tecumseh/Peerless link for you to check out. http://www.smallenginesuppliers.com/html/engine- specs/tecumseh/Tecumseh_Transaxle_Service_Information.pdf scroll down to MST 200 series trans find the 206 545c documentation and it tells you every thing you need to know about the 206-545c ie 90/100 inch pounds when torqing bolts on case. shifting adjustment (ball hex screw adjustment) 1 full turn after flush with housing.etc. I was able to save this transmission I opened it up and cleaned every gear by hand with Seafoam trans cleaner and put it all back together using permatex (GEAR OIL GASKET MAKER) and waa laa it shifts amazing and no more leaking from axle seal. I get no benefit from posting this just want other people to have the correct info and for around 40 bucks you can recondition this trans.if you open it up and find broken gear or gears go to ebay or sears and get parts which ever fits your buget.it took about 6 hours total to de install transmission and clean gears and put new seals and re install back into the tractor. just to give you a time frame. if you dont have time to rebuild it go to ebay there are used complete transmissions there but I would rather know what I have by doing it myself than buying used that may have the same issue and cost ya 200 bucks.

Removing tire from SEARS CRAFTSMAN LT1000 TRACTOR.

You need to remove the black rubber cap from the center of the wheel. Remove the "C" clip from the axle and the wheel should come off. The rear tires will have a square key in it. Do not loose the key.
