I'm beginning to have trouble starting from a stop on flat ground in 3rd and even at times in 2nd when in the field. Other possible causes??? [Reply]   [No Email]

Its not fun, remove the left front drive wheel and build up with good solid cribbing as you have to get under there. Don't trust a jack or concrete blocks. Remove the drive belt and the whole assembly can be unbolted and removed. You need some help as it is very heavy. Had a good friend help me and we did the job in one day, including having new buttons installed on the old disc. Joe [Reply]  [No Email]

I do think there has to be a small notch cut in a brace under there to allow removal of the tail shaft. [Reply]  [No Email]

It has some age, but is still in fair shape. I need to refer back to the book to see if there is a way to tension it or not. I'm thinking not. [Reply]  [No Email]
