4. Loosen the nut on the spring anchor eyebolt (G, Figure

caution and remove the nut to completely release the
tension.

Make sure the V-side of the belt runs in the grooves of
the crankshaft pulley and transmission pulleys (B & C).
6. Reinstall the spring anchor eyebolt (G) into the anchor
tab and loosely fasten the nut. Adjust the anchor
eyebolt until a measurement of 8-3/8” (21,2 cm) is
achieved from the outside of the spring hooks. Tighten
nut.
7. Reinstall the PTO clutch to the engine crankshaft and
secure with the crankshaft bolt. Tighten the crankshaft
bolt to 65 ft. lbs (88 Nm).
NOTE: Make sure that the slot in the PTO clutch
lines up with the PTO clutch mounting tab (A, Figure
