Troy-Bilt Chipper/Vac, 5HP, #47291

18 years ago

A couple of years ago, I removed the belt from this unit to clean debris out of the area. Not being too bright, I didn't make a drawing or take a picture of how the belt was run. Since that time, the chipper/vac has had absolutely no torque and has been man-propelled instead of self-propelled... not fun!

There is a pulley on the driveshaft, two guide posts about 1 inch apart and the drive pulley.

If anyone has one of these, would you please take a look at it and let me know how the belt is run. I could possibly run either side of the belt off the driveshaft pulley between the guide posts but don't think both would fit. I've tried about everything with no improvement. If the belt is run correctly, then I fear I may have a problem with the transmission and want to be sure that is it before I start tearing things apart.

Thanks.
