Hi Guys,

SORRY. False Panic..
The holding bolt size is 17mm. I was afraid the open end wrench was slipping off at that angle and would mess up the bolt head. I aligned it best I could and forced it and it moved OK... The adjustment bolt is 12mm and those nice ratchet-combination wrenches worked well once I got it on... About total 1.5 turns and it's right..
THANKS... !

-------------------------
Definitely need to tighten the belt. There is a larger nut to hold the position and a smaller one to move/tighten the idler pulley. Has anyone done this without removing the side panels and several bolts??

Can't fit a socket wrench in and a combination wrench is forced off angle..

Any experiences??

I've got one, but never got around to installing it.
Tractor actually lives in the high country, where it can get cold enough to need one.
