Sorry for all the 'newbie' questions, guys, but no one has told me to take a hike yet so I'll push my luck with another (likely) redundant question; What is the correct drive belt size for my 552, anybody know?
And an aside; Does the mower deck operate on the same drive belt, or is that going to be a 'take-off' pulley next to it (I am painting it so I can't align it up to tell ATM).

Thanks again.

The drive belt doesn't operate the deck. That's a shorter belt on the second pulley down to the deck. The drive belt is a 1576 which is 1/2" x 70" :)

 

No problem with the questions. We all like them. Nobody will tell you to take a hike unless you're asking for things to to while visiting the Smokies. :rolleyes:

Thanks @Racinbob, I'm expecting at any moment someone telling me "why didn't you check under .....such and such?", but I have checked and couldn't find answers, so....., but yeah, I guess most people don't mind chimin in when the opportunity arises for them to share.

      3/4inch shaft
      By Hukah
      I need to re-power my 552.
      The only thing I can afford is a 3/4 shaft job.
      I know I'll have to change pullies, but am I going to run into problems, seeing as the original was a 1 inch shaft?

      Engine swap and mod
      By Hukah
      I bought a great engine of CL for $20 (Briggs 5.5hp).
      it was on a snowblower, however, and has no throttle or choke control from the driver seat.
      i got a choke control hooked up, but the throttle control is being finicky.
      i am mechanically apt, but not familiar with all the different intricacies of different units and I'm assuming the way this type of engine works is interfering with my new linkage I installed?
      anybody got any tips I can try to get this working properly?

      Lettering tips?
      By Hukah
      Now that I've got the red and black painted, I'm painting the whites and just now getting cold feet while looking at the bas-relief WHEELHORSE lettering across the top of the grill.
      any tips/pointers as to the best approach to this task?
       
      Thanks for all the help you guys bring, I don't think I could have gotten this far without you.

      No shift
      By Hukah
      I didn't take the trans apart when I restored my 552.
      the last time this thing actually worked was about 16 years ago, and the trans worked fine then.
      whats happening now is, with the engine running I step on the brake but the drive pulley keeps spinning, locking me out from putting it into any gear.
       
      anybody know what I'm up against?
