So the mule drive pulleys ARE 3/8s and everything else is 1/2.
I dont think its a matter of "everything else being 1/2" " The pulleys that your thinking are 1/2" I think are a bit deeper than a nominal 1/2" pulley allowing a 3/8 belt to ride correctly deep in the "V" opposed to a 1/2" belt riding closer to the top of the V.. If you put a 1/2 inch belt on there with original setup it will fray the belt rather quickly. However Ive had my 3/8 belt in place for a few years now with no issues. It was built to run this way
