TT-(Moderator) 1,127 #26 Posted September 12, 2008 That's the OEM deck drive belt tensioner used in 1971-72. (before the Tach-A-Matic system was "invented") :banghead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jusjeepn 59 #27 Posted September 12, 2008 TT, Was this probably added by a p/o or did W/H do carry overs in later years like they did with the 754? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,127 #28 Posted September 13, 2008 It was added by Wheel Horse. It's the correct tensioner for the tractor it's mounted on in the above pictures. (I believe the later 1971 to mid/later '72 models used this set-up) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jusjeepn 59 #29 Posted September 13, 2008 TT Not doubting you, but didn't they only make Electro's for three years (68-70)? Hence my previous question. After that weren't they called Charger's? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,127 #30 Posted September 13, 2008 You asked about the "mule drive" and I answered. The tractor it's on is a 1970, but that doesn't mean anything. It could have been bought late in 1971 and equipped with the newer deck belt tensioner, or it could have been added in later years. As far as the "Electro" models are concerned - they are ALL technically Chargers with an electric PTO clutch and hydraulic lift as standard equipment.

WheelHorse_of_course 99 #32 Posted September 13, 2008 My understanding is that all Electro are Chargers but not all Chargers are Electros. In other words it is the deluxe version of the Charger. However all Raider are Raiders. I can't say any of this is fact, but that is my impression. Many later got downgraded to manual clutches since replacement electrics are so expensive.
