Tiller belt length

Recommended Posts

Sutty

I am trying to fit my tiller that has not been fitted for 30 years, maybe more. The belt will not go on, no way no how and I think it must have shrunk, or the rubber has lost compliance, so I cannot get it on. It is the only belt I have that's close to this length, so it has to be the right one. My problem is now two fold. My model does not have a lever arm for the spring belt tensioner, and I know when I last used it it did not need the spring. It was so tight, back then, that it was a real pig to get on the big rear pulley anyway, now it seems impossible. Anyway, there is no lever arm on the attach-o-matic pulley and idler that mounts there to apply the spring to.

 

Second, because my model seems to be somewhat unrecognised on here, it's a Belgium machine, I worry that if I get the standard length it will be slightly too long, requiring the spring loaded idler, which I do not have. Is there anywhere to look up what belt length is needed on my specific machine for my tiller?

 

It's a C-140 8 speed, and has serial number 151391. Yes, I know there is no C-140 8 speed in the USA. See below. Everyone seemed very pleased to see one. :-)
 

 

Also below is the tiller:

By the way, it's very late here now, so I won't check back in until tomorrow, so don't think I'm being rude if I don't reply further tonight to any suggestions.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Regards
