Sorry Joe, didn't mean it to come across like that. I know you were joking. Maybe I should have worded it differently. I was only giving Ed a compliment.

IH 66 series. It's a really close fit and has more headroom than the aftermarket cozy cabs do.

I got me one of them there newfangled driverless trucks. You just push the speaker button and tell it where you want to go.

I had the day off, so we got out there early. We were moving spots because I had to go look for a landmark that starts a trail to one of our stands, about 5, when we walked up on one bedded. Shot fired about 5:30. Deer located, but alive 6:15. 7:00: 8:30 (we had to get dinner) My dad is showing him how to skin it. We do know what we are doing, but the boy wants to get this hide tanned, and we don't usually leave them in any condition worth keeping. 10:00

That's a 312-8 with 14 HP replacement engine and tall chute blower. The front chain guard is missing from the blower and the wings are on backwards too. Other than a messed up seat it don't look too bad! Guessing it's an 89 Ha, I can't see $%!t just like you guys can't either! Where'd you pic that thing up Ed? London? You're sitting on the wrong side! LOL

417 XT drive belt routing
gwest_ca-(File Mod) replied to jhetcel23's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
Spring location looks correct. Tried to verify 106-5813 belt and found 1/2" wide x 86-3/4" long -
Two tractors and lots of parts

This is the "517-H" (520-H with Kohler KT17 Series II). New pair of rear tires, Tach-a-matic brackets, all tins and headlight bezels will be included. Swept front axle and (I'm pretty sure) it has the steering reduction. -

No direct knowledge of this model. I’m assuming you’ve got the correct belt (length and profile)? My observations: 1. That spring really isn’t in much tension (there are no gaps between any of the coils) 2. The belt where it rides over the flat pulley seems already pretty close to the returning belt--not a lot of additional range of motion there. 3. I don’t see any glazing of the belt so if it’s slipping, I’d first suspect its at the engine pulley and not the transaxle 3. What’s at the engine end of this? Earlier posts indicate two idlers. What’s up with that one?

Break it down into bucket math... how many buckets went empty, how many came back full, how many fell off the trailer, how many got sold on the way home and finally, how many were put in the garage for the next show? Then tell us about the tractor(s)...

A half-measure might be to pick up a tailpipe tip (as on many autos to make the end of the exhaust look nice) that has a slight curve to redirect the exhaust more sideways? -

Next one finished (except decals - need to order smaller ones for the hood)... As always, no cost - all from bits and pieces in the bin... (except @Vinylguy's outstanding decals)... and has one original part incorporated into the design... Next one is under design/build... -

Yes, I have all the sheetmetal including the exhaust cover/protection part. That kinda fits kinda doesn't.. the 'restoration me' wants to keep it in one piece/original but then it won't sit quite right. The 'getting things done' me says cut it and make it fit. Not 100% sure on that one.. Same thing about cutting the exhaust, it's in good condition and another one is 'Unobtanium' around here.. Third option for a shroud like cover would be to make something from scratch.. I do have some perforated sheet laying around. -
Alright, after installing the new belt had no issues for a couple weeks. Now Im having issues with the mower going up any incline. The engine does not bog down, I dont lose traction, it just slows down or doesn't make it and the wheels dont spin. Checking the drive belt, Im getting a inch or more of deflection which seems like a lot. Also Im not sure if the tension spring is installed in the right spot or maybe stretched. Attached is picture of tension spring. Any ideas on this? Maybe belt slipping?
