G'day again geenhorn,
Did your mate with the red beast get the belt problem sorted? There is a lot of adjustment in the slot that provides the tension adjustment (adjusts the position of the shaft that the pulleys under the front of the engine ride on) and so if a B68 is too big then a 67 should fit.
However if the problem is that the belt is sitting so far down on either the engine pulley or the cutter deck pulley that the belt is riding in the bottom of the groove rather than up in the vee, no amount of adjustment will help. This indicated by a 'wear shine' in the bottom of the pulley groove. Pulleys with less wear are the only fix.
How are you getting on with your barnfind?
Cheers,
P.S. Where did your mate get the numbers for the belt??
