Which pulley on the tractor do I use, the outside one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 11,376 #4 Posted October 22, 2017 It goes in the outer pulley and the tensioner is the knob on the bottom. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lane Ranger 11,051 #7 Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) The lift is to keep the generator stable. It weights a lot. A very good attachment . Edited October 23, 2017 by Lane Ranger 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cschannuth 3,817 #8 Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) I never use the lift tube. It very difficult to install and remove the tube. I bought a cheap, small 4 wheel movers dolly that I set the generator on. When I’m ready to install I just roll it in to place, line up the attach-a-matic hitches and latch them and pull the dolly out. When I’m done I roll the dolly under the gen, release the latches, and roll the gen into its storage location. I never have to lift it or lug it around. And, I don’t have to crawl under the tractor and mess with the flag/lift tube. Edited October 24, 2017 by cschannuth 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Adams94 1,068 #10 Posted October 24, 2017 Is the lift tube and flag the same as on a snowblower? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 41,734 #14 Posted October 24, 2017 My genny base is home made. No lift tube and I use a bolt and welded nut from the bottom to tension the belt 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
