Hello,
I have a 1991 110-4 rear engined WheelHorse. Not the most elegant WheelHorse but it has cut my lawn pretty well up till now.
It has been very dependable but had started to run a little rough so I ordered a new airfilter and set about cleaning it up and sharpening things.
There had been some belt slipping going on and the deck belt looked thin and worn so I ordered a new after market v-belt for the deck A48.
Parts replaced and reassembled the engine is running really well but...
The deck is running really slow...so it just strokes the lawn rather than cutting it. Now the obvious culprit would be the new belt but I am not sure it is that.
Could the PTO belt be the cause? it is the one that takes all the strain every time the pto brake is applied.
Does anyone know the original spec of a 114567 belt? Just thinking my aftermarket may be a poor fit.
I also noticed that I don't appear to has a 'extension spring' on my deck, part number 112228. It appear to hold the angle of the tensioner to prevent the v-belt from rubbing. Can someone confirm that that is what it does? It appears to be impossible to obtain the part in through Toro UK so I might have to order it state side.
Many thanks
Tom
