1969 drive belt pic / diagram

Hi there, sorry if this is a repeat question.  Anyone have a pic or diagram of how to reassemble the pulleys / tensioner, and how to route the belt?  One more...what are the 4 holes for at the rear of the seat deck (above the logo decal)?

Cheers, 

Mike

  Nice looking tractor!!

 

It looks like you have your belt routed correctly but the tension/idle pulley is not putting tension on it. I'm guessing that either the return spring is not attached or the parking brake is set in the picture.

 

The holes in the back of the seat pan were most likely there to accommodate a tail light.

 

Here is a picture of a typical belt routing. Older tractor but same concept.

 

Return spring for the idle/tension pulley should be on the brake side of the tractor.

Taillight needs two mounting holes (the outer ones) and one for the power line.

The extra hole? Different vendors' taillight bases had the power lines enter in different places so WH covered themselves for either one!

Thanks!  It looks better in the pictures!  Thanks for the info and the pics.  I still have another spring and a pulley to install.....?

That spring and pulley is for the PTO drive for the mower deck, snow blower, etc.
