Title: KC4 Iseki Rotavator
Post by: morgansbob on September 12, 2015, 15:32

I have the rotator in excellent condition and running really smoothly but the drive belt fitted is the wrong one. Can anyone help with a suitable spec for a belt please?

Sorry Jezza but that is wrong, the Super Majors are about 14" between centres, you have to take account of pulley sizes and how much slack was designed in, for when de-clutched.
