TRANSMISSION DRIVE BELT
(Gear Shift Models)
The transmission drive belt idler should be adjusted if the
drive belt slips or if the spring coils have bottomed out. See
Figure 29. Adjust by loosening bolt A and moving the idler
bapk in the slotted hole of the mounting bracket until the belt
does not slip and until there is clearance between the spring
coils. Before tightening bolt A, place the belt guide 1/8" from
the belt in such a position that it does not bind the belt in
any position of the idler.
Check belt guide D, Figure 30. It should be positioned
1/8" from the belt at the point where the belt enters the drive
sheave. Adjust by loosening the mounting bolt A and
positioning the guide as required.
NOTE: The dutch free-travel may be affected after adiusting
the drive belt Idler. Adjust if necessary as outlined under

Figure 30
To adjust the belt tension, loosen the four intermediate
shaft mounting bolts A and B, Figure 30, and move the shaft
rearward keeping it parallel to the rear of the tractor frame
until the front edge of the idler bracket is flush with the plate
identified at C.
NOTE; THE SHAFT MUST BE PARALLEL TO THE
TRACTOR FRAME WITHIN 1/16 INCH.
Adjust belt guides D and E 1/8" from the belt at the points
where the belt is tangent to the sheave and tighten the shaft
mounting bolts A and B.
t^OTE: The dutch free-travel adjustment can be affected
after tightening this belt Re-adjust as previously outlined
riecessary.

CTO DRIVE BELT (Implement Power)
Ж. .
The PTO drive belt should be adjusted before the rear
nuts B, Figure 31, contact the pivot block when the imple­
ment power clutch is engaged or if the belt begins to slip.
Use the following procedure to adjust the belt:
1. Engage implement power clutch and tighten nuts C,
. Figure 31, until the spring length is 2-5/8".
NOTE: When making this adjustment, there must be clearance ,
between the rear nuts В and the pivot block. Move nuts В
rearward if necessary to obtain this clearance before measuring
ths spring length.
2. Position belt guides D and E, Figure 32, across from one
another when the clutch is disengaged in such a manner
that the belt is retained in the disengaged position. In ad­
dition, guide D must clear the engine sheave by 1/8" as the
clutch is moved from the disengaged to the engaged
position. Move guide D rearward if necessary to obtain this
clearance.
3. With clutch disengaged, tighten nuts B, Figure 31, to ob­
tain 1/4" clearance between the implement power clutch
lever and rear of slot in the tractor frame.
The intermediate shaft drive belt should be tightened if it
begins to slip or before the idler bracket contacts the stop
bolt as shown in Figure 30.
