    Replaced Starter Now Broken S/G bolts

    When I switched out the pulley for a PTO I switched the starter mount on this black k181. to run on my 71. previous owner must have set it up for an original. I remember how far I had to reach to engage the PTO on the original, I had to engage the mower drive before mounting tractor with my red...

    Replaced Starter Now Broken S/G bolts

    I got them out easy with left hand drill bit. no easy out needed. Replaced with Grade 5 found the head of the bolt that was in there, It was a soft 1 or 2 grade with no markings.

    Replaced Starter Now Broken S/G bolts

    After grinding up leaves for 2 hours, I found the two bolts snapped that hold the Bracket to the Engine boss. what could have happened there? I used original bolts with lock washers I thought. I know I will need to easy out both of them. if they are grade 8 its going to suck. KAYAKER2

    Starter generator belt wants to ride upside down

    rrschmitt, Belt IH-401960-R1 is what i have on., SG spins fine. alignment of the two pulleys does not good. I used a straight edge and it looks like the large pully is too far forward by <1/16 inch. The bolt came loose at one time for the SG support bar( I guess it is called that). and must have...

    Starter generator belt wants to ride upside down

    I replaced the belt with a Cub cadet part and it keeps flipping over. I don't think it is too loose or tight. I am going to check pulley alignment this afternoon.

    Almost fell off

    dschwandt, Dont get me wrong I enjoy my 71 and The 3 speed. Im not 15 like I was when I mowed in the 70's. I don't plan on mowing by traversing hills sitting on the round fenders anymore either. And Robert I have metal and screw in my left ankle. Lets blame it on the titanium!

    PTO CLUTCH REPLACEMENT

    I was thinking on the same line to replace with electric. But instead I rebuilt mine on my 71 and i performs great. surprise to me that it works so well. easy to adjust if needed down the road. Or should I say (Down the Lawn)
