Hi NormK

Thank you for your reply, not sure what the problem is with the site, but I have now signed in again and elected to stay signed in, they may fix the problem.

what I am trying to do in the first place is replace the cutter belt, which is connected to the bottom pulley on the engine and it does appear that i have to lift the engine to gain clearance from the drive pulley.

Thank you for your advice.

Willo
