• If the customer complains of symptoms similar
to a brake / clutch linkage problem, yet no
mechanical problem is present, check the cus-
tomer.
5. Check the drive belt. See Figure 5.6.
• In normal use, drive belts typically last for years
without problems.
• If the belt fails prematurely, identify and correct
the cause of the belt failure before returning the
tractor to service.
5a. Look-up the part number for the belt, and con-
firm that the correct OEM belt is on the tractor.
5b. Check the belt routing.
5c. Check the brake/clutch linkage and belt ten-
sioning pulleys.
5d. Check for foreign objects jammed against the
belt.
5e. Check for missing or out-of-place belt guides. See the belt replacement section of this chapter.
5f. Check the engine crankshaft and transaxle input pulleys.
Confirm that the sheaves are not spread-out, causing a loose belt fit.
