1276 Belt Cover - Does This Look Right?

[Zeek 2,286]

I just picked up a 1276 at the show.

 

In doing a little examination tonight, I noted that the seat pan does not fit correctly around the belt cover (seems a little too wide) and the hole for the hydro fan seems too small to do any kind of legitimate cooling, which is a bad thing long term.

 

 

Other that the pitting, I'm sure I can make it work. 

 

Does anyone have a photo (and some measurements) of what the original looks like?  I could be wrong but I don't think this is it . . . Cecil wouldn't have approved this.

Thats a later guard adapted to your tractor,

 

There was a thread a few years ago about measurements for a 1276 guard, a search should find it.

 

Here are some pics of mine:

 

 

 

 

This one isnt mine, but the photo shows the fan arrangement

Well THAT makes more sense.  I was thinking what's the point of a freaking fan when you cover the pump with sheet metal.  I kinda hoped I'd get some good responses like yours, thanks.

 

I'd appreciate anymore pics of what works if you wanna share and we'll get fixed up properly.

heres the thread i think Mike was talking about?

 

 

now that i look at it again, the 1277 is different from the 1276, belt clutch release is in a different spot.

Zeek, check that filter brand. If it's a Wix or Napa a 1307 isn't correct. Should be a 1410

Thanks Mike, I'll check that because I'm sure that could screw it up.

My 1276 is in a million pieces right now, any more measurements or photo's you need, just yell.

Yes Martin the 1276 is different in this area than the 1277, I think the 1277 system is simpler with less moving parts, I dont have a good picture of the 1276 setup.

the 1276 looks like its almost the same as the 1965 (875, 1075) wheel a matic belt clutch.
