Wheel Horse312-8 2 #1 Posted July 21 Hello, in process of replacing drive/transmission belt on my 417xt. Can't seem to figure how to remove belt from around clutch. I replaced it 4-5 years ago but have no idea how i did it. The only visible way seem to be to remove the clutch bracket, but i don't recall having done that in the past, and it doesn't appear as if it will slip off around the clutch itself. Thank you!

I lubed it and it works great now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
