Looking at those pics. I'm thinking the same as the others. Maybe the idler is too large. I have a sb48 and the lever points up towards the chute. Not down like yours.

Here Noel
The caster show is about 3" above ground and the bottom end of the lever is about 5" above ground. Hope this helps!

You may have inherited a modified caster

@Propane57 Noel I measured the one off the caster I am working on and the V pulley 4" OC. / flat back 4.5" OC. Is your motor bolted to the frame or has it rubber mounts? If mounts how thick ? I beleave the belt for you set up is 1/2" x 81.625" . Now what is does not say if that is CL. or OC. I will assume it is OC. and if you have an after market belt that is an "81" , it may only measure 80.5" which would make it almost an inch to short . And if any of the other things I have mentioned come in to play ,that would make it even shorter forcing the arm to the ground .

Dave, the V stationary pulley is 4” outside diameter and flat idler pulley is 4.5 “ outside diameter. Motor looks to be bolted to the frame.
If any of have ever looked at how far the arm drops when you lift the thrower, it drops about 3”.

Can you take off your belt . Make a mark on the outside. measure the circumference and see what the belt actually measures .
