Need to loosen pulley tension

Recommended Posts

Jackalope

Help! We just spent the last 6 hours putting on a new tension pulley and other related parts on our 1992 212-5 toro mower deck. But now we can't figure out how to put the pulley belt back on because the belt tension is too tight. There has to be a way to loosen the tension so we can get the belt around the pulleys but I am stumped.

Thank you!

      Hey all!
       
      Replacing the drive belt on my 252-h. Anyone know the torque specification for the center screw when I put this pto clutch back on? I know it was on there tight it took a minute for the impact to break it loose. Thanks!

      My double pulley deck drive spindle seized up and shredded the shaft. 
       
      Looking for a replacement assembly. 
      My rig is 310-8, 1986ish. 
       
      The deck is 36" rear discharge. Similar vintage but has no identifying tags. 
       
      The drive spindle on this one is front and center, not the older version with the tall spindle near the back.

      Hey all,
       
      This pully blew up on me yesterday. Having a hard time IDing the part # or replacements. the 308-8 schematics I've found don't list this part.  Its the pully in the front that runs from the motor to the mowing deck. 
       
      Thanks in advance!

      I have a 1996 520H Wheel Horse for sale.  The tractor has just over 800 hours on it.  It comes with a 48 inch deck.  The deck is a 1995 and has over 1,500 hours on it, as it came brand new with my 312-8 that I sold several years ago.  This 520-H has the swept front axle so it can handle a 60 inch deck.  I just replaced the battery and the deck belt this summer.  The engine is a 20HP Onan and it starts right up but requires the full choke.  The transmission is an Eaton 1100-062, hydrostatic.  The deck is in rough shape but the spindles appear to be in good working order.  The right rear tire has some cracking.  The original operator's manual for the 520H is included, as is the original operating and maintenance instructions for the deck, plus the installation instructions for the deck.  Also included is a new PTO belt and several miscellaneous deck wheels and rollers.  Additional pictures available upon request.  Asking $500.
