BELT Sizes

[nick956]

Quick question guys, i have both a 6'' driven and a 7'' driven and currently using the 6" driven as that's what came with the kit. Now i want to revert back to using my original 7'' as it was explained to me prior that it allows for more torque and low end power as i need that since my terrain is hilly and muddy. Can i use the same belt that is correct for the 6'' with the 7'' driven?BTW this is a Comet 30 series setup with a 6.5hp predator and jackshaft. It works fine and dandy but want that original driven back in running. thanks in advance

uhm nope you can't..
well.. most likely not that is;

first : if you say kit, you talk about the TAV Kit, right?
that kit comes with a backplate.. if that's installed you cannot fit the 7" driven pulley at all;
that MUST be on a seperate jackshaft.
the belt (203589A) will not fit onto a 7" at all...

So let's assume you have a seperate jackshaft and that carries your 6" driven pulley atm.
if you install the 7" pulley instead you need a longer belt
OR move the jackshaft closer to the engine, which likely isn't a real option I assume
