Griff 17 #1 Posted July 18, 2016 I've just tried to fit the RD deck onto my 512D, having taken the SD deck off, only to find the drive pulley on the RD is two inches further forward and the belt that i was using with the SD is far too long. Admittedly this belt has stretched over time and could do with replacing but, whatever. There is no model number on the RD deck, having worn off eons ago, therefor i have no model number for a genuine belt. Buying cheaper is tempting but, "Buy good, buy once" . The RD has three blades and from the tips of the outside blades the distance is 40 3/4". I tied string around the PTO, down to the mule drive and underneath to the deck and the distance is 90" although this doesn't allow for tensioning at the mule drive.The SD deck belt, that is sure to have stretched, is 102 1/2". Any help would be much appreciated, thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Griff 17 #4 Posted July 18, 2016 (edited) Thank you both very much. I'm scratching my head about the length of that belt at 98". I'll have to re-measure with my string tomorrow to double check.I have a second mule drive that i need to look at as according to the parts diagram the spacer (36) between the pulleys is missing on this one. I'm not very good at finding my way around the PDF file locations.Will be back, thanks once again. Edited July 18, 2016 by Griff Missed text Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,032 #5 Posted July 18, 2016 1/2" long spacer part number 101757 is on the outside between the pulley and cover. 5/8" long spacer part number 101734 is between the pulleys. Garry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Griff 17 #6 Posted August 4, 2016 Update: I,ve got the belt but the engine's having problems. For some reason there's not much charge going into the battery, apparently i need a new voltage regulator. Thing is, it's a Robin diesel engine so not so straightforward to source.
