Put a New Drive Belt on Snowblower

Recommended Posts

Lane Ranger

I decided to place a new Wheel Horse Snowblower Belt on my Wheel Horse STR-324 Snowblower used on my 1967 Wheel Horse Lawn Ranger today.  I had three  NOS  belts that I bought over the last few years and although my snowblower worked fine last year and ran well when I checked it recently I figured a five year old belt had to been stretched out some. 

 

 

It took about ten minutes to replace and I am good to go.  I hope there will be a little boost in performance this year!   I always tell folks the old Lawn Ranger ( 6 HP Tecumseh H-60 motor) snowblower won't throw the snow 30 feet like the newer tractors with bigger motors, etc  but I still don't have to shovel the snow and it is fun to operate on this Lawn Ranger!

I think the little guy looks like he is ready to move a mountain of snow. Kinda like the "little engine that could".

Awesome tractor Lane! Hard to believe that 6hp would run that rig if you didn't know better. :thumbs: :thumbs:

Lane, I always liked seeing that cute little bugger in action. Hard to believe it does what it does. And so good to.

If you think about it most walk behind blowers of that era were Tecumseh 5 and 6 HP engines.  Although the engine in my 655 is so down on power that it won't run the deck.... :scratchead:
