Thanks, since there isn't a tensioner I'm guessing the belt has to be exactly right.  Which pulley on the tractor do I use, the outside one?

It goes in the outer pulley and the tensioner is the knob on the bottom. :)

What is the lift tube and the flag for, I don't understand why you need to lift it?

The lift is to keep the  generator stable.     It weights a lot.

A very good attachment .

I never use the lift tube. It very difficult to install and remove the tube. I bought a cheap, small 4 wheel movers dolly that I set the generator on. When I’m ready to install I just roll it in to place, line up the attach-a-matic hitches and latch them and pull the dolly out. When I’m done I roll the dolly under the gen, release the latches, and roll the gen into its storage location.  I never have to lift it or lug it around. And, I don’t have to crawl under the tractor and mess with the flag/lift tube.

Good idea I like that

Is the lift tube and flag the same as on a snowblower?

I believe so but I’m not 100% sure.

The flag is but the tube is lighter steel (like water pipe)

My genny base is home made. No lift tube and I use a bolt and welded nut from the bottom to tension the belt
