I bought a new 1/2 x 70 Kevlar Belt, I installed the belt and guard. I started up fine with my pedal pushed in while in rev, then backed up and stopped, when I go to drive in any forward speed it slows and seems to be slipping, can it be the Kevlar? A smaller Belt, 1/2 x 69 is too tight and won't stop spinning to engage a gear. I'll be looking for pulley slip next on the transmission......

Thanks anyways, I found the sheared key-way on the left rear hub! To think this Tractor set all this time due to simple key-way!

Really?? I've read many posts to check the keyway on a hub....I don't think I've ever found that it was the issue.....that is awesome it was simple!!

I've bought tractors like that before, that may be why they parked it. Glad you got her going. :thumb

I'm very happy with this one! It runs strong! I even found a rebuild for the HY-3 with a new spring and everything. I even got the decals in this week!
Although we were away vacationing at Bald Head Island , NC, beautiful place, the teenagers loved it too!
