1961 401 Drive Belt

Recommended Posts

I need to know the correct size drive belt and if anyone has a drive belt cover. Can anyone help? I also need the rod that has the swivels on both ends that makes the tractor steer. I have it all restored besides these three parts.

As far as your steering part you might be able to find a decent used one but those drag links wear a lot. You might be able to extend its life by peening it a bit more. It's probably easier just to make a new one using two easily available ball joints and rod.

The down side is if you're going for a 'factory' restore.

It's just a tractor for my 6 1/2 year old son. It is very nice but not to worried about a factory restore.

Nice looking tractor.

 

Your drive belt appears to have raw rubber sides. If you have trouble with it not wanting to slip when the tension is removed (clutch pedal down) get a belt that is completely covered in fabric including the sides. Usually the belt guard needs to be installed also to support the slack belt so it can slip on the engine pulley.

I had one of the fabric ones and thought this would be better. But unfortunately it's not. Does anybody have a belt guard they would part with?
