Simplicity Belt Chatter Cause

[@michaelriley3619]

Thanks Zip. It's like 10 degrees here in Maine and don't want to do stuff not needed. Just rebuilt the carb. Turns over very slowly but the the belt is not helping its almost ready to break. I will let you know. Your awesome, thanks Zip!

I melted a couple 2 liter soda bottles and poured them onto a cookie sheet covered in aluminum foil to make a thicker bushing.

[@ZippoVarga]

Brilliant out of the box thinking Chadrick! And, way to go with recycling at the same time. How is it working out? Cheers! Zip~

[@theoutdoorsgarage6260]

Thank you for making this video! Hopefully I'll be getting around to working on the B-10 sometime soon. By the way, love your videos! Better than TV!

[@ZippoVarga]

Glad you like them! Zip~

This is a odd belt problem I am having.. I bought a Simplicity belt 2154273 for the main drive. It is too short my belt is 45 1/4 long. Are there alternate numbers? My tractor may be a early one SN 036455 (Big Ten) and maybe they did like Triumph Motorcycles would do and use some of the previous year parts. I do hate to buy another $45 belt. But if I have to I will. Thanks for any help you can give

[@ZippoVarga]

The main drive belt can be any make of belt. In fact, I typically buy the Kevlar wrapped belts available at farm and tractor supply stores like TSC and Rural King and I get many years out of them at a fraction of the cost. Having said that, it is possible your tractor has a low speed pulley on it, which would require a longer belt. Email me a photo of your rear pulley to [e-mail] with a tape measure going across it. An 8" and 10" low speed pulley was offered and often, if the owner installed the 8", the loss of ground speed wasn't significant enough for them to switch back to the standard 6" pulley. But as I said previously, the cheaper belts work excellent and you can adjust out nearly an inch of length in either direction with simple adjustments to the declutch rod. Another possibility is that the Idler pulley is a replacement and not the right size. This too can cause a factory length belt to not fit correctly. I do have videos showing how to adjust the clutch/brake assembly for when you get a belt that you believe will work. Cheers!! Zip~

Would this also cause chatter in the variable speed setups? Or were they set up different?

[@RobertsVintageGardenTractors]

I had a 1969 Allice Chalmers b112 once and it was a pretty clean tractor to

[@ZippoVarga]

They're great machines. Well Built and built back when quality mattered. Cheers! Zip~

[@etohio7135]

Some information that might help someone. I think this is correct but if wrong please post correction. Pulley size Part Number Belt Length Belt Part Number 6in 154272 42.3 2154273 8in 105188 45 152017 10in 154418 49 155004

[@etohio7135]

This information is for the drive belt/clutch

[@RobertsVintageGardenTractors]

It ram like a top and didn't miss a beat

[@BrucesShop]

That would make a good tractor headlight. (12 v too)

[@ZippoVarga]

With the light consuming less than one amp, it would make a great tractor light! Cheers Bruce!! Sean~

[@stanwilson7566]

Thanks for the Face Book tip. 6/5/2017

[@ZippoVarga]

Always! Zip~

[@routtookc8064]

Just the info I was looking for !

[@garryludwick2990]

Great information!!!!!!

[@n1uk214]

Do you know a part number for a drive belt for a 3012. Also would you have an interest in a WV veterans plate. It's not very old but it's in good shape

[@ZippoVarga]

John, the plate would be Awesome! Thanks so much for the offer! Being a Navy Vet, I would be honored. As for the belt part number, there were 4 types of drive systems. Is it a Hydro, Shuttle, Variable Drive or Standard 3 speed with reverse. Go to Simpletractors.net to get belt part numbers, lengths and widths in the belt reference section. Off hand, without knowing your drive system, I can't help, as each uses a different belt width and length. Cheers! Zip~

[@randyparks8726]

zippo i need a new drive belt for a b-110 like the one in the video. I don't have a old one to go by. thanks Randy

[@ZippoVarga]

There are three transmission types used on the B-110's. I need more info. You can go to Simpletractors.com to locate the belt reference and get your belt length. Cheers!! Zip~

I really like your videos. I just inherited an Allis Chalmers B1 that my great grandfather bought brand new in '63. It has sat for over 25 years without being started. I changed the oil, put some gas in and it started right up and runs great! Unfortunately, when I put it in gear it feels like the clutch is slipping since it will only drive in 1st gear and reverse and only on level ground. Once you try a higher gear you don't go anywhere. Is there a way to adjust the clutch and how is this done? Also, where can I find a carb. kit (the carb. leaks gas from multiple places). Thanks again for your help.

[@ZippoVarga]

I've got carburetor rebuild videos to help with the carburetor. The kit is a universal kit that works over a number of carburetors and is part number 291763. It can be found on ebay, amazon and small engine parts sights. As for the transmission. It's possible all you need is a new drive belt. That's a best case fix. Worst case is the differential hub has sheared roll pins in it. So, replace the drive belt (Just take the old one in for a replacement at any hardware store). Keep me posted. Zip~

[@jasonrobbins394]

Zippo, do you know what the part number is to replace the carburetor on my '63 B1?

[@toddlfrank]

Looks like you might need a new belt

[@ZippoVarga]

Getting there! Zip~

[@JoshKilen]

NICE TIP.

[@michaelriley3619]

HeyZip. Hate to ask, but on my 3314v ...do I have to remove the drive shaft to replace the belt on the engine?

[@ZippoVarga]

You need to just disconnect it from the engine to slip the belt off and on. You don't have to completely remove the drive shaft. Zip~

[@dangeroustoys5668]
