"Must i remove the engine mounting bolts, to slide the motor back? Or, is there some other way to get the belts back on? " Hi Rusty. That depends. These will sometimes have a removable guide plate. 2 bolts on each side at the frame "rail". If not, then it is necessary to remove the drive pulley or engine bolts if that doesn't work. I route the lower belt through the frame components and over the engine shaft to the vs...

Thanks, Tomplum: Well, i went down to the garage, said some unkind words to that durned tractor, and in an hour, i had it all back together, and working! Whew, Uuuhuh, and phew! It just seemed to want to be fixed. Now, how can i keep the pulleys from rusting? I have several large pieces of plyscore, that are just waiting for me to set that machine on them, and cover it up until spring. Guess i'll have to go out and buy a nice large green...

Me personally, I don't fill it up but I do run marine (blue) Stabil in all my small engine gasoline. And I mix it about double the recommended amount, 2oz instead of 1oz to 5 gal. I've not had a problem with the condensation issue that I ever noticed by the performance of my small engine. Knock on wood :> ) If there was any it wasnt enough to give me fits with carb sucking up water and not starting.
