wallfish 16,999 #3 Posted July 14, 2022 (edited) 2 hours ago, Jeff-C175 said: The idler pulley is a flat idler. The flat side of the belt goes UNDER the idler pulley. 8 speeds use a V-pulley idler positioned on the inside of the drive belt loop. (under) Not a Flat idler on the outside or top like a hydro tractor does. The belt will run on top of the V idler Edited July 14, 2022 by wallfish 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 8,625 #4 Posted July 14, 2022 @kitkit make sure you lubricate related linkage areas , chances are the rust will run out , grease clutch pedal related movement areas , the freer it is , the more it can follow the spring tension pull , greasy pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daveoman1966 3,751 #10 Posted July 14, 2022 The OEM 'V' idler pulley for the C-125 is #7451...revised to # 95-7668. Find it on Ebay or at dealers for about $25. It is 4" diameter with a 3/8" hub...with standoff of 1/16" or so. parfts tree would be a source. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
