953 nut 55,860 #2 Posted April 19, 2014 Is the belt guard in place, most of the 60's had an angle iron lower rail that functioned as a belt break, stopped the belt from moving when the clutch is depressed. Hope this helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,878 #3 Posted April 19, 2014 The belt is a 70" Wheel Horse # 1576. Like was stated above, the belt guard has to be in place to be able to shift. The guard funnels slack in the belt toward the engine pulley when you depress the clutch. Try taking off the belt and wiping the engine, transmission, and tension pulleys with mineral spirits...you can also lightly wipe the belt. Sometimes, it is just a little dirt or grime that makes the belt stick on the pulleys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
