Steve Colley 0 #1 Posted 8 hours ago ,I did an engine swap from a 414 8 to my 417 A. because the engine lost compression. I broke the larger pulley on the Kohler 17hp. trying to get it off. I had to use the smaller pulley on the Kohler 14 hp. I had to get a 2" smaller belt because of the smaller pully. It still works fine for mowing, just a little slower. I would like to find the larger 5" pulley for a little more speed. Does anyone know where I can get one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some sources. https://a-ztractor.com/ Best to call to see what he has. https://www.zoro.com/zoro-select-1-18-in-fixed-bore-1-groove-v-belt-pulley-495-in-od-bk52118/i/G1708402/ https://www.grainger.com/product/813HD8 Or if you are so inclined, a 4.5hr trip to the Wheel Horse Collectors Club show in Bigglerville PA might find you with the correct part & then some. https://wheelhorseclub.com/ A friend & I are making a 14hr pilgrimage to the show.

kpinnc 18,492 #3 Posted 4 hours ago Given that you're running the smaller pulley, I would strongly suggest you run that 14hp at full throttle any time you move that tractor. Hydros require a certain RPM to function properly, which is why the 5.25 front pulley is used. Even with the larger pulley, the manuals all recommend a minimum of half throttle or more for hydro operation. I'm sure someone here can give the exact RPM difference but better safe than sorry.
