Hi Folks!
Installed new belts on this lawn tractor and now the secondary drive belt fell off the upper Variator Pulley assembly. I now noticed that the 2 idler pulleys I replaced could have been installed up or down and of course I didn't pay attention to which way it originally was.
The difference is about 1/8". I'm guessing if they are both installed upside down so to speak, could be why the belt fell off.
Part number is Pulley, Idler 1401156

number 79
Can anyone tell me does it install with the long, center of the idler bearing up or down?
There is more dirt on the long end of the bearing. (I think that would be up, because it can't fall off as easy. and that is how I installed them.)
Thanks in advance, rbee
