NOTE
Check the t r a n s m i s s i o n d r i v e belt for proper adjustment
monthly or every 100 hours of operation. The belt is under proper
tension i f n o r m a l finger pressure (about ten pounds) deflects the
belt approximately 1/4" midway between the pulleys. (See Figure
12a.) The tension can be checked by depressing the lower belt
section without r e m o v i n g the guard. If readjustment or replacement
is necessary, proceed as follows:
1. Loosen the two nuts " B " and one nut " D " on the brake band and
loosen lock lever " A " .
2. Loosen the four bolts " E " and one bolt " F " .
3. To tighten the d r i v e belt, t u r n the two bolts " G " clockwise. One
bolt " G " is located on each side of the t r a c t o r . To loosen the
drive belt, t u r n these bolts counterclockwise. I t is important
that these two (2) bolts be adjusted equally.
If replacing the d r i v e belt, loosen two bolts " G " sufficiently to i n -
s t a l l the new belt without stretching or " r o p i n g " i t over the pulleys.
