Achto 26,198 #2 Posted March 10, 2017 Are you talking about the pulley for the PTO drive for the deck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tallen4392 67 #3 Posted March 10, 2017 Yes it is attached to the pedal all the. Pics I see r like your u can't tell what it bolts to the frame or another bracket Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 10,441 #4 Posted March 10, 2017 See if you can figure it out from this The parts illustration is better than the photos. Garry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 35,146 #5 Posted March 10, 2017 (edited) That is the tensioning pulley for the deck drive belt. It is attached to the spring loaded pedal that pulls the pulley to the rear tightening the belt when the pedal is released.

tallen4392 67 #6 Posted March 10, 2017 Those will help I can see I am missing that plate that bolts to the frame with the lower pulley on it I think I am missing something to mount the idler pulley too I will have to look tommorow it talked about a pin or something thanks I'll try again tommorow and see what I am missing I wish I could find a parts diagram that shows those parts on the machine but so far have not been able too thanks again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 35,146 #7 Posted March 10, 2017 Yeah, to install the deck, you need the mid attach-a-matic which also is the mount for the pulleys. The assembly is a little confusing, but all these parts are shown in the manual that Garry posted above. I no longer have the deck on my Commando, but I think my 875 has the same arrangement. I can get a detailed pic tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tallen4392 67 #8 Posted March 10, 2017 Thanks so much so does that idler pulley attach to that bracket that I am missing that bolts to the frame I would snap a pic and show what I have but last time I could not post a picture I must be doing something wrong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 35,146 #9 Posted March 10, 2017 I am not sure if it attaches to the plate or to the pedal. Were you able to open the manual that Garry posted? I will get detailed pics tomorrow. Do you have your pics on a laptop? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tallen4392 67 #10 Posted March 10, 2017 I would snap a pic and show what I have but last time I could not post a picture I must be doing something wrong I was able to open the manual but as u know the pics are very blurry I have the pics on my I phone I could not put pics on before I don't know why I know I need that frame bracket to mount the lower pulley but not sure about the middle one that goes to the pedal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 35,146 #11 Posted March 10, 2017 The lower pulley is actually mounted on the mower deck and the deck is mounted to the plates ( one on each side of the tractor). I can't help you with the pic posting problem....old geezers have dumb phones. One of the young geeks should be along to help solve the pic problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 26,198 #12 Posted March 10, 2017 Here's another pic. The arm for the pulley mounts to the mid attach-o-matic plate then has a rod running to the peddle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 35,146 #13 Posted March 10, 2017 achtos pic with the deck off shows the tensioning pulley mounted on the attach-a-matic plate and the rub mark from the deck drive pulley. Here are some pics I took this morning of the 875. View from the front. See the pulley is on a swinging arm on the pin in the side plate and the swinging bar is connected to the pedal by another bar. And viewed from the rear showing the spring that pulls the pedal, link bar, and the pulley back to tension the drive belt. View from front underside of the deck mount and drive pulley. And the mid mount attach-a-matic that you need. Note the pin that the swinging pulley bar mounts to. Hope this helps. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
