Mountfield 500 clutch doesn't work since drive belt change

[edtwozeronine]

I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on this as I have a suspicion that the new drive belt might be too short and thus is preventing the travel of the clutch pedal.

This is a ride-on mower and since changing the drive belt the clutch doesn't travel up and down with a sort of springy action and therefore can't be pressed with my right foot because it is permanently stuck in the down position.

Any help with this issue greatly appreciated.

Look for a parts diagram for your particular model number and check you have assembled it properly. Perhaps a spring has flown off

I can't find any cross reference to this model - unless it's a 5500?
If any guide pulleys are flat, they run on the back of the belt, any pulleys with a vee and the belt vee mates with that.
See if you can find an exploded diagram anywhere?
