Hello everyone,
I am new to this website so please forgive me if I am posting in the wrong place. I recently received an old lawnmower from a friend of mine that is self propelled.
I have gotten the engine to run great and have done a bunch of cosmetic work so far. When I got it it was missing a belt so I took a piece of string and measured the distance between the two drive pulleys leaving a little slack for the tensioner. That gave me a 32" inner diameter V-Belt and that is what I am using now. The lawnmower will move for about 5 meters until the 'tensioner' comes off of the belt and driving power is lost. attached are some pictures of how I setup the belt assembly as well as the cover for it.
In the picture the cable for the tensioner pulley is not pulled in. I appreciate any help for this I don't know how else to make this work...
