AdamDee 0 #1 Posted September 23, 2013 (edited) My Name is Adam her in Westminster Ma, and I have what I think is a 1980 something Speedex Model 1831. It came with a 48" mower deck (hasn't been on in almost 15 years) and I am having hard time with the belt for it. I have had trouble finding info on this tractor never mind the mower deck info . I have the deck mounted pulleys on right and clutch arm on left, but I just cant figure out why I have so much play in the belt for the mower . It bounces and jumps off the pulleys, I don't know if there is a spring for the flat pulley (the one that applies pressure to belt)to keep the bouncing down or an additional spring needed on the clutch side. Please help and I will get pic of my baby up in the next day or two. Thank you up front for any and all help.

papaglide 542 #6 Posted October 9, 2013 That number 8 just doesn't look the same as the others. Are you sure that its not a 1631? Double check the tag on the engine. It may read 326437 which is the B&S 16 h.p. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
