Didn't notice the melted plastic part as it had come off from whether it was and over to the right rear of the chassis. any help would be appreciated. Also we have the older all metal idler pulley is the new one with the plastic wheel a better option. thanks herrbutzie

Unfortunately it does come with the motor pulley.Also the "classic" idler pulley is better in my opinion Part number: 691366 Make sure that you are installing the belt correctly Part number: 341241 Use the video clip for instructions. Simon.
