Yep I agree and I did not watch the vid!

amazing what the right part number does on a machine, fitted the two 603987's and the mower now works, no rubbing against the idler arm.

I engage the clutch at low speed then rev up when the blades are in the right cutting height. Thanks for the tip.

Same problem I changed a lot of engine components, it was the clutch kit worn out over 9 years of use, on my abused 42' Raptor, mine is a 2013 cutting 2.5 acres since new.

woow poor old planet

You guys in a drought???

when I went to bed after posting the post I thought ARE the V's on the pulleys the same or is one deeper!!! Great minds Sir think alike. I emailed hustlerlawnmowerparts and asked them that question.The shop I bought my new blade spindles from has put the wrong pulleys on their spindle set...

I have found two different pulley numbers that fit on the blade spindles 603987 and 603988; the 603987 diameter is 4.75" the 603988 is for a 52" deck but cannot find the diameter; one site says 4.75; I have the 603988 pulleys I think well confusing.

the belt only rubs across the front of the belt keeper at the highest setting. NOW I have NEVER checked the belt rubbing before this!! SO it could have been doing it for a long time. EEK. I took the rear bolts that hold the deck to the mower, there is no fwd aft movement to change the belt...

all the parts I have bought are OEM,my model number is 931714 all the pulleys should be 4"? I will try to get photos tomorrow. item # 13 PULLEY 603987 item #15 idler pulley 604219 4" flat, I will have to double double check the pulleys I have.

new idler arm and hardware it did not work, the belt is still rubbing against the front of the idler arm with the deck fully raised! Now is it suppose to rub the idler ?? I have never looked at the belt clearance with the deck fully up!!

Yes Sir that it what I thought. Thanks for the reply.

mower model number 931714, belt number 793828 length 116" the new belt is the same length as the old belt, the old belt did not rub against the frond edge of the idler arm item # 6 in the IPC, thanks for the info.

is the deck belt hitting the idler arm at the front of the deck mine has started to, it will shred the belt
