drive belt adjustment on c-160 auto

[walt apple 0]

how do you adjust the drive belt on a c-160 auto to maintain 1/32 the book calls for

You dont. You can make sure that the return spring is in good working order and is the correct spring (tension) but thats it. There is no adjustment. Might be time for a new belt.

You may also want to check the idler pulley...and of course always use a Toro/Wheelhorse replacement belt, I believe the c160 calls for a #7473. I have noticed that other brand belts are not the correct size.
