Cessna 1 #1 Posted June 14, 2010 Where does the drive belt go at the idler pulley? Does it go over or under it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rickv1957 70 #2 Posted June 14, 2010 Which tractor do you have,more than likely the belt goes under the pulley on a automatic and over on a stick shift,Rick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikesRJ 552 #3 Posted June 14, 2010 Another good indicator is if the idler is flat, or v-grooved. Pretty self explanatory there ... When you depress the Clutch/Brake pedal, which direction does the idler move? If up, put the idler on top of the belt; If down, put the idler under the belt. Pushing the pedal should remove belt tension. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cessna 1 #4 Posted June 14, 2010 I should have said that this an 8 speed. It is on a Workhorse GT 1142. I need to fix it up so that I can start on another project. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikesRJ 552 #5 Posted June 14, 2010 For a GT-1142, I believe it goes under the belt. If I remember correctly the idler pulley goes down when the clutch is depressed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
