I was needing some assistance in adjustment. I tried adjusting by the service manual I have. I believe I have the correct belts, engine to variator is #515382 and variator to transmission is #515383.
Before I tried to do the variable speed adjustment, the brake/clutch would barely grab the brake drum and it had some 'lurching' starts after putting the tractor in gear. And, pushing down the brake/clutch pedal barely made it possible to change gears. It was easier to put the tractor in gear before you started it and then using the variable speed lever to start the travel.
During the attempted adjustment, I tried to go step by step by the service manual, but when the step came to put the variable speed lever in the lower speed, 1, and sometimes 2, it was as though I were putting it in park, P.
I counted the turns I had made on the adjustment screw under the dash, so I just back stepped and tried to put everything back like I had started with.
It seemed like every adjustment I made either made the brake/clutch pedal not disengage at all, (which it barely did before) or I couldn't get the variable speed lever to go to the lower speeds. It seemed the variator to transmission belt was too short.
I hope I made some sense. This bugger has me stumped.
