wilm169 Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 That is usually the pully set up under the front of the tractor to route the belt up and back.
Guest Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 Sometimes people refer to the PTO in the middle of a tractor as the mule drive also... I don't know the exact name either. Would be interested in the history of that terminology.
Leroy Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Mule+pulley Mach.) an idle pulley for guiding a belt which transmits motion between shafts that are not parallel.
Kent Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 As I understand it it, a mule drive is simply a set of pulleys (usually two) that are used to: 1. either change the direction of motion on a belt -- such as on the front of Allis 300/400 series to drive the mower deck, or 2. to use two shorter belts instead of one longer one... That's the type of setups I seen called mule drives...
