wilm169 Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 I have a planitary type sickle bar for the 7000 models,[990785] I am having trouble keeping the spring hooked on the belt from the sickle to the planitary,:(! is there a trick I am missing or a new spring? 8 OK OK I know some out there are green with envoy.

RedbarnRick Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 Can you post a photo? I have a ton of manuals but I'm not sure what yours looks like.
UCD Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 http://www.simplicitytechpubs.com/6767PRINT/PDF_files/TP_400_1355_00_AT_S.pdf I presume you are talking about spring # 46 part # 159159 on the belt tightener? Does the spring have good tension on it? Does the belt have flat/wear spots on it causing the idler to jump? Have you tried closing up the eye clips on both ends of the spring?
wilm169 Posted August 16, 2007 Author Posted August 16, 2007 I can't get a picture from the manual, but the one maynard has listed it is part # 46 in the first picture with the drive belts. Sorry Maynard I did not read all you said; yes the end of the spring is crimped good I can pry the tensioner pulley over enough to make the spring not have much pull on it, might need a new belt in there. all thought the belt looks good. OOPs today I tried it again and lost the spring will need to look for it.:O
HubbardRA Posted August 17, 2007 Posted August 17, 2007 Levi, I can solve your problem. I will trade you an old-style sicklebar mower for it.:D
