tbear0714 0 #1 Posted April 19, 2017 Hey guys, I changed my drive belt after it broke. I put everything back together as it should be and it works. Only problem is there is not very much clutch to it at all. The tractor is a 1995 (314 8) and from what I have seen it calls for a 5/8 x 82 belt and that is what I put on. You push the cluth in all the way and just barley let pressure of pedal and it is fully engaged. Is there an adjustment on this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Presuming you have the belt guard on, the only thing that comes to mind is the tab on the idler on the clutch arm may not be far enough forward to hold the belt from turning while releasing the clutch. Try rotating it upward a bit if it is too far back. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
W9JAB 156 #3 Posted April 19, 2017 Did you use a "Kevlar" coated belt. Kevlar provides slippage to aid in clutching. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 49,189 #4 Posted April 19, 2017 On my tractors Richard that tab is fastened to the clutch arm and cab's be moved. Not sure if that's the case with a 314 or not. Sounds like a 82" belt is too short? Hopefully 314 owners will chime in as to what they use and some pics for guidance. BTW @tbear0714 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OEM says the belt is 81.99 so I figured a 82 would be just right. But I agree that it seems to short. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
