Be sure to lift up the front end of the engagement rod as shown when performing the next operation. You can temporarily support the rod using a rubber band tied to the engine pulley keeper.

Attach the clutch/idler assembly to the tractor frame as follows. Hook the assembly's notched arms onto the two shoulder bolts you assembled to the inside 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 (GG) and 1/8" hairpin cotters (EE).

• Assemble the short "V" belt onto the engine pulley

and then onto the large pulley on top of the clutch/idler

assembly. The belt must be placed to the inside of the

engine pulley keeper, the idler pulley and the keeper bolt located beside the large pulley.

IMPORTANT: Do Not assemble the "V" belt around the

outside of the engine pulley keeper or the keeper bolt.

Go to step 48 on page 21.

Make sure the attachment clutch lever on the dash panel is in the disengaged (down) position.

Pivot the upper idler arm so that it rests against the stop bolt and is pointing toward the front as shown. Screw the trunnion (CC) along the threads of the engagement rod until it is aligned at the front end of the idler arm slot. Attach the trunnion (CC) to the slot using the 3/8" thin washer (S) and a 5/64" hairpin cotter (DD).

Remove the engine pulley keeper from the side of the tractor frame by removing the washer and nut that secure the keeper. Attach the new pulley keeper supplied with the snow thrower, reusing the original bolt, washer and nut.

NOTE: Some tractors may already be equipped with a pulley keeper that is identical to the new one supplied.
