I am completely unaware of the hang off the transmission anti belt floppy thing you guys mention. I have one pully on the motor, two to change directions to send the belt under the tractor and the one on the right angle drive in the rear. I dont have any other pulleys and my belt does not flop around. it has had the same drive belt for at least 25 years and I use the tiller every year. the secondary belt broke last year but I had never bought one of those either. I have had this tiller since mid 90's and I used it every year with this same configuration.
I am running this on a 106 with a danco front end loader

Ok, good to know. I'll try to run it without the guide and see how its runs.
My present problem is finding a belt that fits. I checked the chart in the resources section and ordered the 53 inch belt and a 1/2 x 146 belt and that was the wrong size (I've been using 1/2 inch belts on all my decks and they work well for me and NAPA can order them easily). The ratchet pulley was pulled in past the locking notch and the adjustable one was almost at the end of the screw. will a 7/16 x 146 belt sitting down farther in the pulleys make up that much length? or do I need to get the next longer belt on the charts and see if that fits? worried my McGyvered solution is causing the problem
front hanger from a 44A mule drive with the pully hangers straightened
Rear 90 degree transmission- unknown model, are they all the same between no.1 and No. 2 tillers?
