383 hydro pulley help

Post by TractorDan »

I am working on my little 383 hydro, replacing some old belts and bearings. Removed the intermediate drive pulley(#756-3010) and can't recall which way it is mounted. It's two pulley's mounted/welded together, one is slightly larger diameter than the other. Big dia. on top OR smaller on top???
The two belts fit both ways and the idlers fit both ways, but I would like it the right way.

Did u get it back together? I did a quick Google search and the pic I found didn't show a clue to what size is where. U may find it in a manual or on the net.....but sometimes u have to play detective on stuff like that. Look for clues as to the top of the pulley might have more dust or dirt laying on top. Or the shaft might have some markings that u could line up the the inside of the pulley. I have used light rust stains to help orient parts and pieces as to their original location.

yep, this one has me stumped. I did put it back together, like I mentioned earlier everything fits and works both ways. I tried looking at the part for some clues, but everything was cleaned prior to disassembly and again once apart. So, no telling signs. Even went over to the local cub dealer, the mechanic took some time to look through his collection of service manauals, but no luck. I'll run it as it is, and just keep my eyes open for another 383 to sneak a peak at to find the correct orientation of the pulley.
