The mounting points are indicated by the white arrows in the picture if you are using the stock Tecumseh engine. The one behind the engine pulley is a bracket bent to reach a threaded hole in the engine. 

 

If you decide to make a new one, the corner marked by the yellow arrow is the only square corner on the entire belt guard. I take all of my measurements from this corner. I clamp a strait edge on to the center counsel and measure down to the belt from it, leaving about a 1/4 to 3/8" spacing between the belt and the guard. The bent edges on the top & bottom are 7/8".

 

Here is an in process pic of one that I made for a custom tractor that I'm working on. I had to make my own guard because I'm using an engine that Wheel Horse has never used.

Thank you so much @Achto !  This is whats on it right now.  (also ignore the 702. My research failed me lol!) It was hacked to make up for a centrifugal clutch and running boards for 4 yo me lol.

I think that I may have a belt guard from a 653 that will work on your tractor with the Techy engine. I'll check tonight.

I do have a belt guard from a 653, but it is rougher than I thought. If you are still interested in it send me a PM. You could also place an add in the wanted section here, I'm sure some one has one in better shape.
