Tiller Drive belt on my AC310

[strassmaier]

I've got my new tiller for my AC310, and everything lines up good attachment, and pulley wise, but the drive belt seems to be too short. The tiller has the engagement lever on it, but even in the un-engaged position, the belt is just too short to route around through the pulleys (I checked the manual to determine the corect routing). Is there an easy way to figure out what belt I need to find to have it work just right? The tiller is number ser# is 3462640, no model number, but looks just like the correct ac model for the tractor, and everything else aligns great. Moved with the AC for the first time last night after rebuilding the deck, wow! Worked great, real smooth, and save a lot of time!

On my B Tiller there is an adjustment screw that makes the belt tighter and looser, I would surmise there is one on yours, too. Check the front of the tiller where it attaches to the back of the machine.

Thanks, I will take a look. The style is bit different, with an engagement "loop" at the top, which is connected to a pulley that tightens the belt up.
