STEP 18: (SEE FIGURE 17)
•
Turn the clutch/idler assembly right side up.
•
Slightly loosen the hex bolt next to the flat idler pulley.
Install the drive belt down between the hex bolt and the
flat idler pulley with the flat side of the belt against the
pulley. Retighten the hex bolt.
•
Loop the belt around the large v-pulley, placing it
between the v-pulley and the hex bolt next to the pulley.
Did you choose the correct drive belt for
your tractor? Using the wrong length belt
may cause premature bearing or belt failure.
STEP 19: (SEE FIGURE 18)
• Attach the clutch/idler assembly to the tractor frame.
Hook the notched rear pulley frame brackets onto the
two shoulder bolts assembled to the outside of the
tractor frame. Lift the front of the assembly and attach
it to the R.H. and L.H. hanger brackets using two pivot
lock pins and 1/8" hairpin cotters.
STEP 20: (SEE FIGURE 19)
•
Assemble the drive belt onto the engine pulley first
and then onto the large pulley on top of the clutch/
idler assembly. Place the belt to the inside of the idler
pulley and the belt keeper bolt located beside the
large pulley.
•
Place tension on the belt by pulling the left side
tensioning chain out as far as the 3/32" hairpin cotter
in the chain will allow. Secure the chain in this position
by inserting a 1/8" hairpin cotter through the chain.
IMPORTANT: Do Not assemble the drive belt around the
outside of the keeper bolt beside the large pulley.
