FAQs
Is this an official GGP part?
Yes, this is a genuine OEM part manufactured by GGP, ensuring compatibility with your Mountfield equipment.
Will this fit my 1436H model?
Yes, this tension arm is specifically designed to be compatible with the 1436H and 1436M series.
Do I need to replace the belt at the same time?
While not strictly required, it is highly recommended to inspect your belt for cracks or stretching while you have the deck accessed.
Can I install this without removing the deck?
While some users might attempt it, removing the deck provides the necessary clearance to ensure the arm is seated correctly and safely.
How do I know if my tension arm is failing?
Signs include blades stopping under load, a high-pitched squealing noise during operation, or visual evidence of the belt being loose.
Troubleshooting
Belt continues to slip after installation
Verify that the tension spring is connected properly and the belt is not stretched beyond its service life.
Tension arm feels stiff or sticks
Ensure that the pivot bolt is not overtightened and that the assembly is clean of debris or grit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure a successful installation, always disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental engine start-up. Verify that your machine's model number matches the 1636/1436 series before beginning.
- Safely raise or remove the mower deck to access the underside.
- Note the routing of the drive belt before loosening the old arm.
- Remove the worn tension arm, ensuring that the pivot point is clean.
- Install the new arm, ensuring it moves freely without binding.
- Re-tension the belt and check for proper tracking before operating.
Regular maintenance involves checking the arm's pivot point for dirt buildup and ensuring the tension spring is intact. Keep the area free of grass clippings to prevent premature wear.
