So, the belt is supposed to be really loose at low speed setting on drive pully? Im asking since you were in there already. We just got ours and Ive been reading that section in book (hence my suggestions earlier were in book). I have no first hand experience on this but Im about to (lucky me huh). Can you be so kind as to advise me, having taken this apart yourself. I have a drive belt issue, not sure where the problem is. I put the bobcat handles in any direction, forward reverse or steer and it sits there and just edges a smidge. As belt gets hotter, say 10 minutes of fighting with handles it moves alot more. But never quite gets to where I can spin it around. low speed doesnt move it AT ALL, only medium to high. High bogs the engine down however. Steers very slow and tires wont spin when digging in with bucket. I assume its not clutches since there are 4 and it seems all are effected. Does this sound like drive belt (or pulley) issue to you? Looking at the driven pulley, it like most of this machine has not been greased. The zerk is dry as can be. Ill check for slop in the pulley. If there is any. Would you suggest new belt and new bushing. The belt in low speed setting has atleast 4" of play up and down. In low I CAN see the belt wobble a bit, but in higher speed settings it tightens and goes away. Sure sounds like your issue to me. Would like some advice since you have been through all this. Im about to call local bobcat dealer and order a bunch of stuff so if you can guide me a little on the drive issue Id really appreciate it. So far I need
Intake and exhaust manifold gasket
Carb float (I rebuilt carb but that was mutilated)
Blew a front wrist cylinder seal
Drive belt
Entire ignition system fron coil to condensor to wires. Shes been neglected service wise but not beaten if you get me. Has new paint and is in otherwise nice condition. Poor thing just needs someone to care and some TLC. Im not reselling this, Its gonna spend the rest of its days with me thats for sure.
