Homesteader 8 belt

[stumpy]

Greetings, Anybody know the correct size of the main drive belt for a Homesteader 8? For some reason I'm having trouble downloading from the Simp site. The belt that was on it when I acquired the machine is, I think, too long and is running...running too well...off of the larger attachment drive-pulley on the engine shaft....this makes it a very fast Homesteader! Kind of fun to tool around on at speed, but I'm loaning it to a friend to move some dirt with the front blade and think it would be best if it wasn't a 20 mph tractor for that kind of work <G>....either that or it needs a roll bar. Thanks much

Snowthrower on a Homesteader? I sure wouldn't have thought that.....

Maynard, Thanks for the information. Just in time too....we're backfilling an irrigation system on sand....just the place for a light machine. Have a good day....we will be once the machine is popping along.
