Questionhow to install belt on a snow champ #up 605/8461/h258b
AnswerDid you remvoe the panel to gain access to the belt? Do you see a pulley that moves when you engage the auger? You may have to remove this pulley as well as a couple of belt guides to install the belt.
If the belt is too tight then I would double check the part number to ensure you have the correct belt. Worst case I remember on one really old snowblower, I had to remove the engine mounting bolts and tilt the engine to install the belt. Can't remember the snowblower brand but is was a real challenge getting that belt on.
Try removing the ilder pulley, if you have to, to install the belt.
Let me know if this helps.
