WT-30 Tiller

[Jennifer 1,877]

Needing someone that has one of these WT-30 tillers to please load pictures of the belt tension thingy!  We know there has been two at the big show one this past year another the year before!  Hopefully they are members here!  If so and you would be so kind to help us with this, Thanks in advance!  Husband is trying to get ours useable.  He got a 32" belt but something isn't going his way!  LOL!  Every thing we have gotten on this tiller shows a Kohler K91.  We have in fact a Clinton 1200 that runs fabulous!  The Tiller does not appear to have ever had red paint on it.  Engine and tiller paint match.  Also we are looking for the speed reduction to slow the tractor, CC-60 conversion assembly!  Thanks everyone!

Is there anyone that can help us out?

What belt are you looking for? The tiller has it's own motor, and doesn't look like needs a belt?

[R Scheer 503]

I believe she's talking about picture #3, the clinton motor to the tiller.  There is a copy of the manual on the site, doesn't show a picture of the belt.  It does say the Kohler motor though.

 

Is the idler pully flat or v shaped?

Can you use a piece of rope to confirm the belt length?

[littleredrider 409]

missed that lol

The belt from the motor to the gear box that turns the tines!

V pulley but need pictures of someone’s that have it working to see if the belt Tensioner is right?  The belt the Manuel calls for is to big or so it seems!  Thanks for the reply 

[Jennifer 1,877]

Anyone?  Help !!!  Lol

Jennifer Still looking for help on this? I literally brought one of these home today. Found this thread while trying to identify what I actually bought.

Mine has the k91 on it so don't know if that disqualifies it. Let me know

[Darb1964 1,055]

That lever up front seems like that should engage the tines, seems like the belt should go,if the idler pulley is flat, the flat part of the bet should push against it. If v the belt should pull in to it when lever is engaged. Something like that, seems like there should only be two options.

[jsp_333 273]

Darb1964 is correct  - that lever on the front is used to tension the belt and engage the tines.

Jennifer was that the issue or were you having a different problem?

[gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,133]

To add to the confusion there are 4 different belts listed for the tiller drive and speed reducer.

Different. Would like a picture of the belt how it is can what it looks like to see if what we have is all here!  We relize how to in gage the tines.  Third picture in this post I would like a close up picture of this area!  Thanks.  We are going to switch out the engine to a K91 but in need of picture of question area!  Want to match things up!

Ok give me a week or two. I'm going to have to put it back together.  and I'm away this weekend and on a deadline at work next week but I'll get it to you.

[jsp_333 273]

Actually I just found a bunch of images I took when I brought it home.

They're reduced in size for this site but I have full size images if you need more detail.

Also what you see may not be correct for actual operation. I have not tried to get it working yet.

I think the belt on the centre pulley should go down the inside not the outside of pulley as in pics.  just double checked. I believe the pictures are correct.

the centre pulley pivets outwards to engage the drive on the tiller. 

Again it'll take a week or 2 to put it all back together if you need more pics.

Let me know how you make out.

Cheers, john
