867 drive belt not stalling

Yes. I'll get a picture later.

 

Though it's difficult to see, the arrow is pointing to the factory weld on the guide, and the position is the same as fortyeightjake's.

Interesting, I ended up throwing the old belt back on as the grass was already starting to get thick and it shifts just fine with the old belt.  I think I might try to mow the bigger portion of the yard with the new belt to see if it will work in a little bit before cutting anything up.

I wrestled with this problem for years on a 1067 till I a did a complete resto on the tractor and found a belt that worked. I know my belt stop on the clutch pulley was welded on in the same position as yours. The tabs up by the engine pulley were worn down like yours so I welded them back up to original and filed them smooth. I'll see if I can get you the belt length that I used. Think it was a 76" ??

 

More food for thought here Jake  but the brake band adjuster if adjusted too tight will limit the travel of the idler pulley.

Yes Jim, 76" is what length both of my belts are.  I have the brake band nut as as loose at it'll go and still have enough range to stop the tractor. I even loosened it further but it made no difference in pulley movement.
