ebinmaine 70,668 #77 Posted Thursday at 01:20 PM I have a couple videos I saved because of @Greentored Scott and his off-road Horses about belt guides and better pulley wrap. If you'd like I can share them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SylvanLakeWH 27,494 #80 Posted Friday at 02:20 PM Progress today: Idler pulley on. Belt now stays on track both on and off clutch. Belt brake installed but not fully working... need something for it to lock against... took chunk out of belt top first test... Transmission pulley shaft seal is toast - nice pin stripe on the ground... never changed one of those. Easy? Good source? Pt #? Overall pleased, but this pulley brake do-hickey has Rube Goldberg written all over it... input appreciated... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 64,467 #81 Posted Friday at 03:18 PM Tilt it back a bit further. Like 30 degrees or so off. It might help the belt to have a land as well, so the brake isn’t the only thing holding it up. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 40,454 #82 Posted Friday at 05:25 PM I like to center the brake the belt tangent point. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good source? Pt #? Super easy repair. As long as the pulley comes off the seal is just sitting there waiting for you right behind it. Measure the shaft and see if it is 5/8 or 3/4 diameter. Tell me what it is and I'll send you a seal. If you're looking for it faster than that just measure the shaft and go in the chart for transmission seals and bearings. You can find a part number there that should be locally sourceable. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pulley easy off... Its 3/4". So on the chart is this correct? I'll try local and if no go then I'll take you up on your offer. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SylvanLakeWH 27,494 #87 Posted Friday at 09:30 PM She floats!!!!!! Way over thought the belt brake. Removed it and shifts fine... Belt guard bolted right up with couple brackets and a bolt through the original foot rest... Cruisin' the hood!!! IMG_3346.mov 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My thought Is cut the shaft in the middle and use a shaft coupler to add about 1" to its length, exposing more of the shaft, and allowing complete adjustment without drilling more holes... coupler will be in between the frame / side tins. Yellow highlight shows shaft needing 1/2" to 1" more. Red highlight shows lever that will attach to shaft (pic is of the lever still on yard art)... No welder... shaft coupler concept shown... Will it work? Appreciate constructive feedback and appropriate ... Safety third! Did you manage to get the brake linkage hooked up Sylvia? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was a lot of fun figuring out the swap over to manual from auto... amazing how much stuff just "fit"... still gave a bit of tweaking to do, but overall I'm pretty pleased... and I stayed within the rules... you'll note there is no painting, all the Middleville "dust" that didn't fall off is still on there, and the only lube used was liquid wrench... (other than filling the dry transmission). 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh yea... forgot to mention that... yes, it is hooked up and working all from the clutch pedal... couple s hooks, some springs, and other bits and pieces laying around... used a nail instead of my WHrat WHrod allen wrench pin on the clutch pedal Couldn't afford another Allen wrench pin... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
