Routing the Upper Drive Belt
(Older Style Tractors )
1. Attach and route the proper upper drive belt (refer to the table on page 12) around the spindle pulley and idler
pulley found on the undercarriage, the lower portion of the engine pulley and the two pulleys found on the PTO
double-idler bracket as illustrated in Figure 31. Make sure that the belt is routed to the INSIDE of all belt keepers
on the idler pulleys and the keeper pins found around the spindle pulley
IMPORTANT: Make certain that the flat side of the belt is facing outward. This allows the “V” side of the belt to ride
snugly in both pulleys.
