I think this is a permanent match. Got it together at the same time it started pouring. The belt is about shot (seller said it was) but other than that every last clip, pin and brackket was there. Other than that I changed the oil and a piece of fuel line I didn't like. I think this has made my permanent list before I've done any work with it!
Does anyone think a belt gaurd on this is a little ridiculous??

Looks familiar!! You will love that setup. It is a serious weed-eating machine!!

I'm redoing the white on the tractor, and it'll look nice, the trick is not to make the white so nice I have to paint the rest too... |

I would use a belt cover on this rig before I would a blower...you'll get some serious stuff flying, and I'm thinking the right limb would pop that belt right off, bend some stuff, etc. Plus, there's so much dirt, chips, weeds, etc moving through there, that the shield probably helps prevent pulley and belt wear.
Your pair looks good...I think the Battleship Grey makes it look too sophisticated for ya anyway... =] |

I think the belt guard is kind of funny, kind of the least of your problems! :) And I use mine without the guard because at present I take the belt off the front PTO after each use. Just in case kids hit the starter button it would spin the blades since my clutch doesn't totally disengage... |

taht overspray go way soon soon soon. =)
The first thing I did after getting it mounted was start the engine, and with out the PTO engaged walke around it to find the blades spinning just fine with the PTO off... about 8" from my ankle. YOW!! Consideration is required. Then I engaged the PTO and I can easily see where it would send chips flying all over.
It says right on it not to use within 50' of anything. I could see it sending a rock flying further than that. |

Yeah, they never really stop till the tractor is off! It would be a fantastic use of an electric clutch... |

or the forward mechanical friction clutch on a 3416H, in fact I just measured the snowblower hitch for that RBT setup, and changing the flat idler to a v idler it wil go right on FDT Weedcutter. The one problem is the pulley on that PTO is twice the size of the FDT one so the cutter would probably be turning full speed at idle or just over.
But there are possibilities. |
