#441338 Doc_V (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1245 How can you tell if the front pulley isn't stock? 5 Months, 3 Weeks ago   I'm trying to figure out if the previous owner replaced the front pulley on my R*, and I seem to recall someone here mentioning that if you replace your front pulley, you have to replace the belt, because the width is different. Is this true? And if so, does anyone know the width of the stock belt vs. the replacement belt? I ask because, if there is a difference, then wouldn't it make sense that you could tell if the pulley has been replaced, by measuring the width of the belt?   Logged     Last Edit: 2011/12/05 00:43 By Doc_V.   “The world breaks everyone, and afterward, many are strong at the broken places.” - Ernest Hemingway   The administrator has disabled public write access. #441339 smhowse (Moderator) Book em Dan-o!

Like Steven said though it's not necessary to replace the belt if the correct size replacement pulley was purchased. If someone replaced it with one of the aluminum pulleys then you'll probably end up replacing it anyway. From what I've read they don't last very long.   Logged     My 99 Standard Test Mule Scott B.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #441364 huskerbob (User) Life is about monents that take your breath away Platinum Boarder Posts: 2186 Re:How can you tell if the front pulley isn't stock? 5 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Most after markets pulleys only have one edge on them so ya can used it on 1600 or 1700 model without changing belt.on stock the belt sets inside the pulley edge on front and back   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #441424 Doc_V (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1245 Re:How can you tell if the front pulley isn't stock? 5 Months, 3 Weeks ago   so it sounds like there's no simple way to tell wihtout removing the pulley... oh well...   Logged     “The world breaks everyone, and afterward, many are strong at the broken places.” - Ernest Hemingway   The administrator has disabled public write access. #441429 davej (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 4199 Re:How can you tell if the front pulley isn't stock? 5 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Doc_V wrote: so it sounds like there's no simple way to tell wihtout removing the pulley... oh well...

Of course never would be that easy. Prob have to count teeth. That or it will be stamped on back side of pulley.   Logged     http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg555/Bruce_Rocha/DSCN0717.jpg   The administrator has disabled public write access. #441508 davej (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 4199 Re:How can you tell if the front pulley isn't stock? 5 Months, 3 Weeks ago   You need to count teeth. Not that many so once you get the cover off it will go pretty quick.   Logged     dave   The administrator has disabled public write access.
