sqrlgtr 1,701 #2 Posted Tuesday at 11:22 PM I guess I should have listed tractor models 12hp no name-6 and a C160-8 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 76,365 #3 Posted Tuesday at 11:44 PM For the sake of future record here. On my 1974 C160-8 Cinnamon Horse I have double springs. That tractor pulls some HEAVY trailers. I do use a stock Toro 108035 AND I also wrapped that spring with a larger heavier duty one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm using an off the shelf spring from Ace Hardware on mine. Choose it by the length of my old one but with a heavier gauge wire. Have drug my motor down to it's very last pop several times without slipping the 5/8" wide belt. Edited Tuesday at 11:55 PM by Achto 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All I here around here is that the belt drive WH cant compete with the Cub clutch drive line but I'm going to try and prove them wrong at least in the factory style classes 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 76,365 #6 Posted yesterday at 12:05 AM IMHO in the stock classes a belt drive does just fine. I don't pull for competition. Seen it a couple times. I do pull for livelihood. We tug some trailers full o' wood or logs up the hill outta the forest that are on nasty terrain and well over 1000 lbs. Belt slip is NEVER an issue. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Running a belt off from a right angle gear box. I.E. SimpleCity stock factory legit. Like I stated, I've drug my stock-ish 14hp down to it's last pop many times. I plan on building a new engine this year. A stock-ish 16hp with a bit more $$ thrown at it. Hopefully I get get a few more pops out of it before it gives up. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
