WHX?? 54,832 #1 Posted 20 hours ago Had The Pullstart pick me one at the BS couple years ago. Went to install it on a 8 HP and could not get it to quit rubbing. No wonder they are not all the same size. The ones with the three indents are larger than ones without. Especially on the SG end. Smaller ones are for a 7 HP?????

wallfish 19,229 #2 Posted 20 hours ago Hmmm. I've never really noticed that either but all the 7s I've had were pull starts. Maybe go with a 30" belt instead of a 31.5" 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spent a hour of my life trying to get it to fit. There's an hour I won't get back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's an hour you learned something too. Learning what not to do is just as important as learning what to do. It ain't gonna take you an hour the next time! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ri702bill 11,226 #7 Posted 9 hours ago AND there are a couple more variants... The 701 double-pulley belt guard, and the 702 style - similar to the one without the ribs, but has a much smaller dimple at the small end, not a full circle... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 12,742 #8 Posted 8 hours ago This is the 7hp I replaced the 8hp on my 854. It was a yank start so I put all the goodies from the 8 on to the 7 from the flywheel out to convert to s/g. If it's the grass screen rubbing could it be that it is a different screen? Note how the shroud is fully outside of the screen. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Remember I have a 7 and 8 on the bench with the 2 pulleys and that may be the difference? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 45,446 #11 Posted 3 hours ago 2 small blocks on the bench. Closest one is an 8. Had the larger guard with the 3 lines. 3" pulley. Farther one is a 7. Came with no guard. 3 1/8" pulley. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
