Andy876 25 #1 Posted February 5, 2021 New to wheel horse's, learned a valuable lesson plowing snow today! Be sure to lock your drive belt in, before installing the shield. Finished the whole drive, but shredded the belt 200 feet away from the barn! It was a long push!!!! Lol! 2 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rjg854 11,387 #8 Posted February 5, 2021 I got myself into the habit of always having the drive belt engaged when putting the belt guard back on. So that doesn't happen, again. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
