I did my 116 abt a month ago, & I had to yank the trans, if you can try to add some oil in the transmission cuz anything beyond stock or a 1-1 ratio you need some sort of lube in it not grease. My 116 goes like 15 rn. I drilled a hole in my muffler & added a brass fitting in it to pump diesel fuel into the hot exhaust for extra thick smoke.
See the hitch plate on the other one? Something like that needs to be on that one too. Without it it will flex and blow the bottom out of the transaxle. Cool mower though! And if you want it to rev higher, just bypass the governor like you said. Just don’t hold it long because it is very hard on them. Those things do smoke like a fright train sometimes.
I heated the pulley and sharft with a propane torch and let WAX MELT onto them and let them cool then spray oil on them and it came off with some persuasion but I didn't expect it to because of the rust ,, try the wax and let me know if it works for you guys
Only would like to know what size pulleys to charge to and what speed Not for racing but to travel to food stores and not have a vehicle at all, just mower and small trailer with wheel brging
I used a puller and it worked but it did bend the pulley I just hit it with and hammer and bent it back cause I might put it back one day probably not mine goes about 30 rn but the belt keeps falling off and I switch the plastic h idler pulleys for Metel deck ones and used a socket as a spacer 😂 should I drill a hole in the transaxle and fill it with oil or should I not worry about it ?
Grind the weld to the center shaft flip it around to the big pully so the key way can go on the crank shaft with the big pulley up top where the belt rides. Also you will have to re weld it. Thank you for your comment.
The one that worked out of the pile of belts I have ha ha. Every tractor will be different lengths you just have to find the one that works and possibly add idler pulleys. Thank you for your comment.
@@Mo_2118 ah yeah that makes sense if u keep it dry yeah it probably won't slip if u keep it like 2in and up but even that is kinda pushing it I'm just thinking about bringing it into any mud don't go smaller than a 4in or if ur gunna water Ford then don't go smaller than 5in
