LOL dont drive ur tractor whitout belt guard if you have a midengine tractor.. i did it to day..and well i can tell you it hurt's I did it because i have changed the engien pulley on the 551 to day.. and i should just give it a test drive.. my foot slipped from the footrest and down to the ground then the pulley/belt snagged my pants.. and slammed my leg in to the pulley.. so it ended whit a trip to the doc to get some stitches.. so KEEP UR BELTGUARD ON.. it is a reason why they made it!!!!! and i have some pict that is not so friendly to share.

formariz 11,987 #20 Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) Lars, hope you get well soon and I am glad it wasn't worse than what it is. I also want to thank you for sharing your experience because since my accident a couple of days ago my mind is now racing through all kinds of possible injuries and their causes. I am also guilty of using a RJ without belt guards. It happens to be my grandson's favorite tractor and I can't keep him away from it. I have always been self-conscious when he is next to it while it is running, worried about his little hands. Guard needs to be a custom one (longer than stock) so I never got around to make one. I can tell you now, that thanks to you that tractor will never run again until such a guard is in place. However sadly, at least there is some good that comes from our misfortunes, in the form of real lessons learned from them. Get well soon.
