JOEPOE1977 0 #1 Posted Saturday at 08:11 PM (edited) I have a 1990 Wheel Horse 310-8. It has a 42 inch recycler deck. The deck has the original spindles on it and the Kohler MC10 has the original PTO clutch on it. I am continuing to burn and break belts on this unit. New blades on the deck which I just bought for a member on the sight. The last belt lasted me less than 3 hours. Any help very much appreciated on this. Thank you as always.

ri702bill 12,408 #2 Posted Saturday at 08:54 PM Joe - Welcome!! Which belt is the problem one? The drive belt from the PTO or the belt that drives the 3 spindles?? Either case, it sounds like it is an alignment or bad bearing issue... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 67,274 #5 Posted yesterday at 10:07 AM Check out the mule drive pullies. Be sure they spin freely and are on the drive correctly. If you remove the nut (takes a 1 1/8" wrench or socket) you can check the order of the pullies. Between the guard and the flat pulley there is a spacer and another spacer between the two pullies. The shorter of the two spacers needs to be between the two pullies and the long one between the guard and the flat pulley. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rjg854 13,157 #7 Posted 9 hours ago He sent me a picture of his mule drive and one pulley is bright and shiny, so I sure the bearing is set-up on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, he sent the pics to me too Randy. I asked him to post the pics and his comments on here so we can all see what is happening. He sent pics of the PTO and mule drive so I assume it is the PTO belt and not the deck spindle belt. Edited 8 hours ago by Ed Kennell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
