Very cool old rider!! It has a great look that the new mowers don't have. I use about 3 tablespoons of Dawn dish soap in a Zep spray bottle and let it soak for about 15 minutes. Then hit it with the pressure washer. Alway's fun seeing the before and after. Great video.
Mower deck is supposed to run off the big pulley , the small one will not give you enough blade speed to cut well. . I think i remember you asking in the sears group. They are good tractors . Just mowed with mine yesturday.
You are missing a belt guard/guide that goes around the drive pulley that serves 2 functions. it prevents the drive belt from grabbing the pulley while the clutch/brake is applied making for easier and smoother shifting. The other is obviously to keep the drive belt from popping off the pulley. The belt guard also has 2 studs where a pulley cover is able to mount to.

I've already picked one up. 👍 But Thanks for looking out for me.
Bad thing about cleaning up vintage equipment is that the termites quit holding hands.
