Ariens Rocket V rear tine tiller question?

The drive pulley has two grooves for what I thought was to accommodate 2 belts but the pulley on the front of the tiller has two different diameter pulleys. It is not the reverse drive pulley because that is even smaller diameter than the other two drive pulleys. The replacement drive belts are the identical size but there are no identical size drive pulleys on my Ariens Rocket V rear tine tiller.

Only thing I can figure is this one had the option of using a faster tilling ratio using a different size drive belt on the smaller drive pulley.

The folks who sent me the new engine conversion kit must not have known the old Rocket V had different size drive pulleys. Will the new Briggs & Stratton 9.00 have too much torque for using only one drive belt or will I need to find a matching set of drive pulleys and use two drive belts?

    I believe on the rocket 5, you change the belt to the different pulleys to change the speed. The rocket VII has a lever to switch speeds.
