BELT ADJUSTMENT
Your Track Clutch Belts are adjusted as two
“matched sets” of three belts each. One matched
set (Belts #1, #2 and #3) for the Right Track and
the other matched set (Belts #6, #5 and #4) for the
Left Track.
Begin your procedure by parking your Crawler on
an open, firm, level surface. Shut off Engine, en-
gage your Parking Brake Lever and dismount.
Raise Hood, fully rotate it forward, remove #1688
Seat Pin. Then remove the #933A Seat & #1674
Mounting Bracket, #1625 Arm Rests, and #1608
Rear Cover.
NOTE:
Be sure to disconnect the
“mating” #1824 and #1825 Seat Wires at their
common Plug.
Determine if your Belts are in proper adjustment
by measuring the distance of travel (forward to re-
verse) of each Control Handle. They should travel
approximately 4-1/2” when measured at the “fur-
thest end” of their Control Handles. If it is OK,
close up your Crawler;
Don’t forget
to reconnect
#1824 & 1825 Wires & Plugs!
If not
, follow the procedure below:
Remove the 3/8” Nut securing each #1629 Belt
Release...remove both Belt Releases.
Loosen the 2nd 3/8” Nut holding each of the
#2051 three Idler Pulley assemblies in place on
their respective #1617R & 1617L Right & Left
Control Handle Assemblies. Loosen, so each Pul-
ley Assembly (containing three #2051 Idler Pul-
leys
each)
can
slide
forward and rearward in
its respective Yoke.
Position each Pulley As-
sembly (forward or rear-
ward)
such
that
it’s
respective Control Han-
dle can “rotate” a total
distance of 4-1/2” (when
measured at the “furthest
end” of Control Handle).
Complete this adjustment
for both Right and Left Pulley Assemblies.
When satisfied with adjustment of both Pulley
Assemblies, tighten the
Locknut you loosened
above.
NOTE:
as you tighten
the
(above)
Locknuts
you must keep the Pul-
ley Assemblies at a 90
degree
angle
to
the
Yokes in each Control
Handle assembly. Using
a “homemade” sheet of
metal, wood, etc. (ap-
proximately 3-1/4” x 6”) as a “guide” is a big help
in holding this angle!
