Copper116 63 #27 Posted January 15, 2022 I took a video of the issues but it is too long for a download I guess. If I can have your email, maybe I can sent it to you that way. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Copper116 63 #29 Posted January 15, 2022 I set the tractor wheels/tires back down on the floor.... I pulled the belt off and then turned the drive pulley by hand. (The transmission is in High Range and 2nd gear.) The tractor moves forward and backward with the turn of the drive pulley.. Now what else can I try? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chances are that your old belt was warn, this would cause the original slipping issue. I believe Achto is correct, I’d follow his advice. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Copper116 63 #31 Posted January 16, 2022 I'll measure my old belt to make sure but it's fairly new and Kevlar... the edges are sharp and there not much wear at all. I kept the sleeve it came in. I'll compare and see what that shows.... thanks again for helping out. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
c-series don 8,813 #32 Posted January 16, 2022 Please let us know the outcome, I’d like to know the answer to this. Actually most of us would!!! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Copper116 63 #33 Posted January 18, 2022 Well, I finally had time to actually measure the belt that has been on my tractor.... it measures 83 inches X 58" Kevlar. Not the 82 inches that is required. I already feel like an idiot so no comments in that direction please! I'll go get an 82" belt asap. 3 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Copper116 63 #34 Posted January 18, 2022 Well guys... the new belt is on. She goes just fine now !!!!!!! I do appreciate all your help. I compared the belt that I took off the tractor... to the sleeve that was on it from Tractor Supply. They did not match. 1" difference !! Thanks again. 1 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 41,314 #37 Posted January 18, 2022 Happens all the time. When you buy a belt check the belt to the sleeve. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was probably someone buying multiple belts because they didn't know what they needed and then taking them back but wrong one in the wrong sleeve.. That is why I do NOT buy belts from TSC.

Glad you are back in operation! I learned that lesson the hard way once, now I check the number while at the store. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Copper116 63 #40 Posted January 19, 2022 I did check the number on the cardboard sleeve it was contained in.... I think it was returned and put in the wrong sleeve displaying the wrong size... Oh well..... it's not anything serious... just some anxious moments... and frustration. all is good in the world again. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Copper116 63 #42 Posted January 20, 2022 Thank.... I should have checked the belt all along but since it was fairly new and replaced... I thought nothing of it... until now. Figures. Now the snow can come... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
