Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): turf til tiller, front tine tillers, photo thanks


Question
QUESTION: i have a turf till tiller 3.5hp model #216 100 502. i bought it used and when i got it home i found the drive belt was not on.there was one hanging on it so i tried putting it on, but for starters im not sure if its the correct belt. im not familiar with tillers. so i was wondering if you could tell me which belt is supposed to be on there and also how to install it with possible a diagram?

ANSWER: Hello Adam:

This One is Going to Take Some Research. If I haven't Sent you a Follow Up E-Mail within 72hrs; then Please Send me a Reminder. I have Several Research Projects Going on and I'll Try to have you an Answer with a Photo (Hopefully) by then. However, Most of the Older Front Tine Tillers Simply had an Idler Pulley that Pulled Down/Up and Tightened the Belt to Make the Tines Turn. Thanks.

Answer
Hi Adam:

My Contact was Still Searching for the Information and as of Friday Evening; Still had No Luck in Locating the Information I/you Requested. She is Still Doing the Research and will Notify me as Soon as she has Any Information. My Wife is Going through my Old Manuals and Fiche for Information Also. Any Other Numbers on the Tiller May be Helpfull in Locating the Information. I Do Appoligize for the Long Delay. Hopefully I can Locate Something for you before Long. I will Not Give Up Until I have Exhausted All the Resources I have to Answer you Question. Thanks for the Reminder. Give me a Few More Days, Please. Thanks.
