Need help replacing clutch pulleys on Craftsman

Hey guys, the manual online for my tractor (81 LTV/10 Craftsman) shows the idler and clutch pulley but however says they are discontinued so it wont even tell me the size I need. Was wondering if you guys knew or if there was a "standard" clutch and idler pulley size on these old craftsmans. Its a vertical shaft engine btw. Thanks!

you could probably find one on eBay under a different brand or try taking it to tractor supply they have a wide variety of pulleys there.

Take yours off and go to tractor supply, I bed you'll find one. You have to make sure it accepts the same V Wodth too, like a "wide belt reciving" pulley. Catches the belt from falling off in extreme angles/twisting

Agree. Most of the pulleys are in the ballpark of 3 or 4 inches. Take it off and head to your nearest tractor supply co and find one.

Thanks guys, the bearing is absolutely shot in my idler and I cant keep listening to it. Tractor supply it is!
