Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Ariens S-12H HydroStat, lawn tractor, good shape

Question
Hello Paul,
My father in-law had an old lawn tractor which had not used in many years.  long story short, I was able to get it going again surprisingly.  Engine is great and working fine.  I confirmed the mover transmission is working fine.  My kids find it much easier to use this tractor than our newer lawn tractor.  What I am having troubles with is that I cannot seem to install the belt for the mover unit.   I checked the belt and surprising again, it is in good shape and not cracked.  Shy of me taking the tractor into a shop to just install the belt for the mover, do you know how it should be installed or point me to somewhere that contains a diagram how to install it?  I was going to purchase a manual but i really did not want yo go to that expense.

Any ideas would really help me out

Thank you Paul

Jeff


Answer
I can't find a belt diagram anywhere.

Which is cheaper, dealer or manual.  If it's a tie, buy the manual.  It will be usefull down the road.

Sorry I can't be more help.  I almost sent your question to the answer pool, but the other quacks on this site would have had to tell you the same thing.
