You are right about the idle. Get is slow enough and it will stop but its idling really slow and a little unstable.

Folks are in their mid 80's and things like gears grinding make them scared.

Thought about shimming the transmission pulley to make it more spread at idle to loosen the belt even further. Also thought about loosening the motor and see if it would move back just a bit to loosen the belt.

I bet when the transmissions are new, they have more internal friction and turn less freely. This gator has seen alot of miles on the farm and the trans input shaft turns absolutely free. Any belt friction and it will turn. Idle the engine up and it turns faster making for more grinding.

You help is appreciated very much.

Bob.
