Ed Kennell 37,468 #2 Posted December 6, 2017 Please educate me Bob. What is a double belt cover? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 15,294 #3 Posted December 6, 2017 701 was the only model that had two belts from the starter to the flywheel pulley. The double thick cover for some reason is missing on many 701's. When a cover is found, they usually sell for big bucks. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 37,468 #4 Posted December 6, 2017 This old Ed Dog is still learning. I will definitely keep my eyes open for double wide start/gen belt guards. Thanks Bob. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 54,343 #13 Posted December 6, 2017 He is just praying that someone is absolutely convinced that this is the last one on the face of the earth and they NEED it. We have all sen things go for crazy money on there. Several years ago my wife noticed an item on my watch list had no bids and was about to expire so she pulled the trigger so I wouldn't miss out on it. I explained that I was only watching it to see if anyone would be stupid enough to buy it at that price! Guess what, she was. I love her anyway. 2 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JERSEYHAWG / Glenn 4,497 #14 Posted December 6, 2017 Whats the purpose of that double? A single belt cover fits to,, right??? Glenn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kohler didn't have the Automatic Compression Release in 1961 so it took a bit more to turn them over than a single belt could handle. In '62 the added the ACR. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are probably correct, just know that the '61 needed two belts and the '62 cm was different and solved the problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is a limited supply of buyers who NEED one that badly. I see no one bought it and you relisted it. Good luck. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
