WildmanC120 613 #1 Posted July 13, 2018 Never had to do this before as the tractor is new to me. I have a new belt here but unsure on the routing. Anyone have any pics? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was pretty simple. 7/16" bolt and nut and the PTO loop flips back. 1-1/8" nut on the mule drive guard and that slide off. Belt basically falls into place then. I bought a 1/2"x96" belt. Seems to fit fine and has a decent amount of adjustment left. Is this correct? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 11,179 #4 Posted July 13, 2018 To simplify things a fuzz you can replace the clevis with this style: Then you just pull the pin, pivot the clevis down and the yoke swings out of the way. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TDF5G 2,069 #5 Posted July 16, 2018 These pics may be of some help. I took these for a buddy of mine a while back to get his belt routed correctly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 8,703 #6 Posted July 16, 2018 good idea to remove the mule drive belt cover nut, while its still mounted on the tractor, that gives you the mechanical advantage to loosen the nut. also the fact of having plenty of adjustment is indicating the correct belt size. note the front of the drive is flat and level, when properly adjusted. that setting is also at its strongest setting on the dial threaded rod, very unlikely to vibrate or shake while in use. I put a soft coil spring on the pto safety clip down to the base of the pto swing arm mounting, to stop buzzing vibration. also lubricated any friction points, like upper clevis . pretty simple, good luck , pete 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
