of the belt.
DO NOT USE the other belt.
• 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.
