Ed Kennell 38,659 #8 Posted March 31, 2020 (edited) Just curious, why take the belt guard off to install a new air filter? The belt guard has two functions; 1. to protect the operator from injury 2. to support the drive belt when the clutch is depressed. This prevents the belt from contacting the engine pulley and allows the belt to stop so the transmission gears can be shifted. The tractor transmission can not be operated without the drive belt guard in working order and in place. Edited March 31, 2020 by Ed Kennell 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomB 2 #9 Posted March 31, 2020 Didn't take the belt guard off for the air filter. I need to do some welding so that's why the belt guard is off. Thanks for your response. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for your response. Was there anything broken or missing on the belt guard? Some models have belt support tabs have tabs that break off. Can we see pictures of your tractor and what needs welding? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
