&%@#! murray widebody drive belt replacement

i have a 97 Murray widebody 12.5hp 5 speed

Am i going to have to disassemble 1/2 the tractor to replace the drive belt?

Ok it was not a bad as it looked

But really who would run a drive belt around the steering shaft?

Umm, murray?

Just wait till you start pulley swapping, if you haven't already.

i have a craftsman on the way. ill look it over before i start doing pulley swapping.

If the craftsman is better designed that murray is going to the mad scientist's lab.

I like the murray, that steering shaft deal is probably one of the only negative points.

i had a 90 murray they put the clutch right between the middle of transaxle top and under the pulley and have the tensinor spring hooked to the rear of tractor so its impossable to get with ur hands unless u have a spring tool some dumb set ups lol
