Assemble the short "V" belt onto the engine pulley
and then onto the large pulley on top of the clutch/
idler assembly. The belt must be placed to the
inside of the engine pulley keeper, the idler pulley
and the keeper bolt located beside the large pulley.
See figure 18.
IMPORTANT: Do Not assemble the "V" belt
around the outside of the engine pulley keeper or
the keeper bolt.
Proceed to page 13.
Remove the engine pulley keeper from the side of
the tractor frame by removing the washer and nut
that secure the keeper. Attach the new pulley
keeper supplied with the snow thrower, reusing the
original bolt, washer and nut. See figure 17.
NOTE: Some tractors may already be equipped
with an identical pulley keeper.
Attach the clutch/idler assembly to the tractor frame
as follows. Hook the assembly's notched arms onto
the two shoulder bolts you assembled to the inside
of the tractor frame. Lift the front of the assembly
and attach it to the R.H. and L.H. hanger brackets
using two pivot lock pins and 1/8" hairpin cotters.
See figure 17.
