| I have one that came with my B1, but I've never mounted it. I assume that it is complete, but won't know 'til I put it on. I'll wade out to the shed and see if I can see any details and maybe get some pics. |

Pages 4, 5, and 6 are the important ones. I know people have fabbed their own bracket for the cable lift. Not sure about the cable itself. I have the first style one that uses the hand lift. Plan on trying to do the conversion to the later cable style this summer along with chaning the drive to the newer style heim joint. Can you get a picture of the pullies hitting? That would help identify the issue. AaronSEIA

Mine is the earlier model with the hand lift, so pics probably wont help as it's not mounted to the tractor. |

ok here is the pictures of the pulleys hitting, in the first one you can see the outside edge of the big pulley where the inside of the little one is hitting, the second i engaged the pto and then slid the small one so you could see the two hitting, i almost wonder if it is the wrong belt letting it do that, thanks

You might have the wrong combination of belt lengths. ------------- 10 various B-series garden tractors, AC Homesteader8, 416 hydro,710 gt, 914, 916H, 917H, 920D, and many misc attachments |

ac mower guy, thats what i kinda was thinking, once i get the engine back in(bad coil) and running again im gona call sandy lake and get new belts hopefully, did all the b series have a "mule drive" thats what i call it any way, to drive the mower deck? ------------- 1950 wd wide front w loader 1940 b, 1939 m crawler |

 The belt should be a 1/2x35". The mule drive was the same on the B10 and B110. Top pulley should be roughly 5" diameter. There is a guy on eBay parting out a B112, he might have the correct top pulley. I've attached a picture of mine, but it's hard to see how it works with the belt shield in the way.AaronSEIA |
