Redtractor 0 #1 Posted November 15, 2016 I have a Raider 10, 6 speed model1-0360 of 1973 I think. I want to drive a 1975 36" Tiller model 7-1252. Can anyone tell me the size of the long drive belt to suit these items? I would appreciate a reply in inches as I have difficulty sourcing genuine parts in the UK. I would like to thank any respondents in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daveoman1966 3,839 #2 Posted November 15, 2016 Tiller 7-1252 wants drive belt # 1599. It is either 138 or 139 inches long, according to this website: http://outdoorpowerinfo.com/belts/#result Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,471 #3 Posted November 15, 2016 139" is correct according to this service bulletin for the 7-1252 tiller Garry 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redtractor 0 #4 Posted November 17, 2016 Thanks for the help but the 139" belt that I purchased appears to be 22" too long when fitted. Unless I am routing it incorrectly. I have fitted it passing around the tiller main pulley wheel and the the back of the belt passes over a small jockey wheel. Both sides of the belt then pass to the front of the tractor. I have a double pulley fitted low down under the clutch pulley. I am the passing the new belt around this pulley. The pulley's other drive, (double pulley), has a small belt between it and the clutch. If you can follow this I would like to know if it is routed correctly.

gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,471 #5 Posted November 17, 2016 Do you have the manual for the 7-1252 tiller? Garry 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daveoman1966 3,839 #6 Posted November 17, 2016 Here is a pic of the PTO end. The teller end...Flat side of belt goes under the idler pulley, then fit the V side of belt around the 12" dia pulley. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redtractor 0 #7 Posted November 18, 2016 Thanks for all of the help. I now know the problem lies with my tractor. The lower double pulley should have a jockey wheel, No.17 in the diagram positioned close to it. My tractor only has the double pulley. On close inspection, I can see that my pulley and shaft are not original parts. I was thinking that the drive came from the clutch with a short belt and then the second pulley drive went to the tiller. Now here is the problem. Where can I obtain the correct pulley shaft and brackets to enable me to use the tiller? Has anyone got one to sell or knowledge of a spare parts contact? Help!

Redtractor 0 #8 Posted November 20, 2016 Would anyone be prepared to supply dimensions in order that the shaft, bracket and pulleys can be fabricated? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
