B82

Does anyone know what drive belt and deck belt I need for the 1980 B 82? Also if anybody had pics of the drive belt installed I would appreciate it.....

When I picked it up both belts were/are missing. Not entirely sure all the necessary hardware is under there either, however, it seems complete. Thank you in advance.

Tractor drive belt has been added to these pages. Click on the pictures.

32" width of cut side discharge?

I appreciate the downloads and have looked them over. The belt I found was the one which goes from engine to the transmission (106518). This one is already on the tractor. I am missing the one which goes from bottom of engine pulpy to the top pulley on the deck and the belt which drives the blades on the deck. I do not find either of these listed here...confused!

Three belts for such a little horse!

Thank you I found what you were referring to. I think I have discovered the basis of my confusion.

The deck on this machine is a rear discharge 36" three blade, well sort of...if I could get your expert option about why this deck has a side shoot as well as a rear discharge and what can be done to eliminate the side shoot I would appreciate it. I'm not sure what or how the previous owner did or didn't do. When I look up the model number it shows the deck on the Toro site. Now more confused than ever, except I believe I found the correct belt sizes for this set up.

I think I finally got it! Geee...I can be slow. This is a 1981 side discharge deck where Wheel Horse essentially took a rear discharge deck and modified it to be a side discharge by closing up the rear underneath, cutting a hole in the side, and putting a "chute" on it. The pics on PartsTree only show the rear discharge deck. I will order the two (out of the three belts necessary to make it function) and new WH/Toro wheels for the deck. All my other horses are horizontal shafts so this is my first adventure with a vertical shaft machine. It just so happens I picked up a B-81 with a rear discharge deck a few months ago out of a field which has a rear discharge deck that I think I will switch all these parts over to and then put it on this machine. I knew there was some purpose in picking up that old B-81 even though the engine was mostly dissembled and all tires were flat. Must be destiny! lol

Looking at the ID tag with the 807x Julian build date would think it is a 1978 model with a 85-36XS01 model number. I can't read the first digit of the model number.

Julian dates start with the year (8=1978) 07x = the 70-79th day of the year.
