When assembling the belt under the tractor, hold this manual above you so that you will be viewing the belt diagram and the tractor from the same direction.
Assemble the short "V" belt onto the engine pulley _sothat it passes between the pulley and the engine pulley keeper. Next assemble the belt onto the large rear pulley on top of the clutch/idler assembly, passing it between the pulley and the keeper bolt located beside the pulley. Position the idler pulley against the outside of the belt. See figure 15.
•Place tension on the belt, by pulling the left side tensioning chain as far out as the assembled
•hairpin cotter will allow. Secure the chain in this position with a 1/8" hairpin cotter. See figure 15.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that the "V" belt is not assembled around the outside of the engine pulley keeper or the keeper bolt.
