Knightws6 9 #1 Posted December 14, 2017 Whats the easiest way to get the belt on my snow thrower? the pulley next to the blower itself. Their has to be an easier way the removing the pulley itself. Got the c165 and a single stage blower. having a hard time finding a belt as well. model number on blower is not very readable. forgive me for not having a lot of info.

skrusins 128 #2 Posted December 14, 2017 If I remember there are 3 7/16 nuts and bolts holding the bearing close to the pulley> took 2 of the easy ones out and loosened the third. That gave me enough wiggle room to get the belt on. I think that work for me. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 35,151 #3 Posted December 14, 2017 Or, I changed to a 1/2" smaller pulley so the belt would clear the housing. The auger will run a little higher than design, but I run my 520 at at 3200 instead of 3600 so the auger is actually spinning at design speed. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 15,771 #4 Posted December 14, 2017 Agree, take the bolts out which hold the bearing, that's the easiest way. The WH belt is # 9750 but don't know the length or cross reference to other belts 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
