That's very good to know, Yet another hurtle avoided. Are you aware of the pulleys that would solve this problem on the 782 decks?

I would also assume that a shorter belt could be found too, but hear again I dont know what IH belts would fit this combo. I ask since I have an opportunity for a decent deck in that model range.

Last night I looked at an offer for (2) 50C decks, but they were pretty beat. I sense it may be difficult trying to find a clean deck in the series I need and may have to settle for one that I have to change out these pulleys on or find a belt for.

Thanks
