Airens Snowblower help???

[67Mopar]

Hi all, New guy here, im in the midst of a blizzard, and just threw the belt on my old 2 stage 65-74 6 hp machine, anyway, there is no room between the clutch engagemnet shaft to the auger drive to squeez the belt through, I have no manual, was wondering if someone knows the "trick" to putting these things on, Thanks

Years ago, I had an Ariens. I think you have to take the idler pulley off to replace the belt.
