Tiller belt hitting hydro filter

I tilled the garden last night with my 1691382 7116 and 1690039 tiller.  I realized that the belt was hitting the hydro filter on the left side of the rear end.  I went and double checked the belt routing against the manual and it was ran properly.  I believe it is an OEM filter.  Has anybody ever encountered this before or know of a direction to look in?

Ok, did some more digging.  It sounds like there is a smaller, flat filter out there as well as an idler kit 1685225.  Anybody used either of these?

I had the same problem years ago but memory keeps me from remembering what I did, like back in the 70's when I could remember these things LOL

There is a sketch drawing of the Idler bracket somewhere here.   I bent one up this year when I mounted the Vacuum for leaf duty.  Used a idler just a little bit different than original size, worked OK for Me.

You need the rear PTO idler kit: 1685225.

As of today, [11-08-16] the bracket is available, but the idler pulley is not.

Pulley is Stens 3 1/2" diameter by 1 1/2" thick.  I have tried to find it on the Stens site, but can't.

Here it is on Ebay today,  Part # 1657712SM

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
