The mower belt on my 1554 keeps coming off & I've been unable to determine why. The belt is new & the deck is correctly mounted & level under the tractor. All spindles & idler pulleys are solid - no play in bearings/bushings & they all spin freely. The belt tension idler spring is fine, providing plenty of tension. I thought that the tensioning idler arm was bent down towards the deck a little but I pried it up & it appears to be level with the deck. The only thing I noticed is the belt coming off the lefthand blade spindle & the tensioning idler to the engine drive pulley runs at a bit of an upward angle, causing the belt to ride high on the tensioning idler pulley close to the upper lip of the pulley. This phenomenon is noticeable even with the deck raised to its highest position & gets more pronounced as the deck is lowered. However, even when mowing with the deck raised to its highest position in light grass offering little resistance, the belt eventually flies off. The belt won't stay on the pulleys very long at all if the deck is lowered below the highest position. This happens regardless of engine speed, ground speed or terrain. The only other observation I've made is the belt appears to wobble a lot when the mower is engaged but I can't identify a cause of this wobbling. The belt tracks fine when it's rotated manually with no catching or dragging. I even added several spacer washers under the tensioning idler pulley in an attempt to better align (raise) it with the engine drive pulley but that had no effect even though it did cause the belt to ride a bit lower on the tensioning idler pulley.

If you left it somewhere a pet could get to it I suppose it really wouldn't be good for them, however I'm guessing that if it's being put around a a tractor or other equipment there'd be spilled oil, hyd. fluid and antifreeze that wouldn't be very good for them ether.

Best of luck.

I take two Flomax pills every evening and for me it seems to control the situation, reducing the need to pee to maybe two or three times during the night. I have been on Flomax for years and it would seem that my situation is stable. While I don not have a need for a procedure like Aquablation at present, I have been following your posts and I am glad to know that there is a next step medically if I ever need it.<br>

Over the last four months I have had both knees replaced, the second knee just three weeks ago. They will not do two at once for a 75 year old. Considering the ages of those of us who like to fix up old tractors (I own several 9N, 2N and 8N Fords) we ought to have a knee and hip replacement thread on this website, too.

I feel your pain. I took the rack and pinion out of the front differential and about four years ago when I could still get parts. I was able to get the complete assembly which made it a lot easier the toughest thing was trying to get the proper shims in the right spot because I did not have the gauges. So it was all guesswork. I have found a place where you can get parts for your tractor if they have one on the yard.
Here is the web site. https://www.tractorpartsasap.com/

Someone posted earlier that it is the same as a mahindra because Mahindra made it. That is incorrect. The tractor was made by MDT. MDT also made the Mahendra 2615 which also the cub cadet 7260.

The guys at tractor parts ASAP are great to work with. I believe they have two locations. I had to get some side panels because a scrapper came bye while I went up to the auto parts store to get some antifreeze and he thought my side panels were scrap. The guys at tractor parts ASAP had a 2615 and that was in a fire, they sent me pictures of the panels and because they were not warped I want to head and purchased them. They are painted and waiting for decals. I hope all this helps you.

I may be misunderstanding your problem. I read it the starter solenoid is keeping the starter turning to crank the tractor when you let up on the key. If that is correct, I think it means one thing, a bad solenoid. Contacts in it are sticking.

If we all only bought on line the rain, bags of any type, crazy shoppers and such would not worry us. I am not that shopper.

Now what I know about me and marketing: they say never go grocery shopping when hungry. If I am not hungry nothing looks good, so I buy almost nothing and I mean almost nothing. If I were to only shop for food on line I would forget there are real coconuts, not realize there is fresh watermelons or peaches in and thus not buy them, would not realize there is a new brand of razor and thus would not consider buying them. I think the same would be said for many of the items in the auto parts stores. I mean look at all the items they have I cannot live without! But If I don't venture into dream land would not know how much I needed those goodies!

Next thing I would notice is I was spending less on gas and car wear. Would have more free time to cut grass, watch tv, visit friends, play with tractor and yes saving money for as time goes on would know less and less of all the NEW gadgets out there now which I really need for my car which now I seldom drive.

Think on it.

[QUOTE=Nottoold;201305] Ouch!I think you will be shocked to see how much those Panels cost, they should be made of gold.Best of luck! ... [/QUOTE]

I found a Mahindra scape dealer in Wisconsin who had a 2615 Mahandra. That is the exact same tractor is the 7260 cub cadet. They had the side panels off of a tractor that was in a fire, so I purchased the pair for $200 and repainted them. You’re right though one is they’re hard to fine too if you can find them they’re over 700 bucks.

Most engines will do fine with 10W30, some take the old filter in to a parts counter to look for a match on threads and size, but that is an imperfect science at best but better than nothing.

You might have to remove one or both bolts holding the alternator to get the belt on. Compare the old with the new. It may still be the wrong belt for your tractor. Just because the book calls for a certain one does not mean it will fit. Things could have been change by the previous owner or changes when made. If it is too tight do not use it. Go to NAPA or auto parts and get a longer belt that fits. I have a TYM that I had a problem matching belts, had to go to a longer belt. Good luck.

I have discovered that one of th seals on wheel side leaks. When I put out in the plow�s gearbox it all came out. So, I need to find a seal or make one because finding a seal to fit that may be impossible due to the age of the plow. Does anybody have an idea on how to make my own seal for that axle coming out of there to the wheel on the plow?

starting a new thread for electrical on the belarus 1770 4wd articulating tractor. this tractor was mfg in kharkov tractor plant in ukraine as model T-150K-07. the tractor is typical 24 volt start and run on 12 volt everything else. interesting is the alternator is 12 volt and there isn't a parallel switch that i can find. it does have a heavy duty remote ground disconnect switch and i think a 24 volt to 12 volt reducer for the dash - air conditioner-lights etc. no key just a button on the dash that remotely connects the ground "CLUNK" and then a heavy duty turn switch for the starter. does this sound right??<br>

Tbear,

I was responding to Kthompsons comment about a cheating spouse and autocomplete in spellcheck on computers. I typed STD (sexually transmittied Disease) instead of STP, and the puns were my attempt at humor along those lines.

I like your idea and I am going to try your approach with my waste oil this year with the STP you used not the STD in my bungled humor :-(
