Ed Kennell 38,214 #26 Posted June 7 (edited) Could be the camera angle, buy that inner hyd pump belt looks too wide for the pulley. Should be 3/8x48. BTW, I was mistakenly looking at the 1045 manual where I saw the 70" drive belt. The 1054 and 953 manual lists the 82" belt. Looking at this pic again, that belt looks fairly new. I'm wondering if the PO tried to install a new 1/2x82" transmission belt and had trouble getting it on the larger pulley and just put it on the smaller inner hyd pump pulley.

Yeah, I had my clean duds on this morning and was headed out to work so I couldn't quite figure that out. I thought maybe the belt slipped off the inner pulley? I bought a 1/2" x 47" at TSC this morning because I wasn't sure if tehe 1591 part number was 1/2" or 5/8"... this is the first I have seen 3/8" though. TS only had 1/2 and 5/8 belts and had no 5/8 x 47". Was hoping to replace both at once but if need be will just get the engine/drive working for now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The instant on engagement is not good for the equipment and the wires are usually broken off too short to repair. IMO, the original PTO system shown on Mikes 953 pic was the best ever. No safety switches, easy to set the gap and pressure on the plate, and nothing to wear out. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Kennell 38,214 #40 Posted June 8 Have you tried to drive it. Looking at that straight on picture of the belt. It does appear to be angled to the transmission rather than to the hydraulic pump. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It does appear to be angled to the transmission rather than to the hydraulic pump. It drives but I'm thinking same. Will be getting into the belts later today to see what's really up. I have a new drive belt. Had to order the hydraulic. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
