[QUOTE="GlennsM444, post: 77893, member: 9676"] It sounds like you are experiencing some of the same trial and error I did with the drive sheave adjustment. A few good reasons to choose a slow speed, as I'm sure you know, are greater power for pushing and digging, easy turning, and less tension on the crank. The red/yellow scheme sounds similar to the original M400! I hear you on time constraints. I need axel seals, pins and a new paint job on mine, but if I spend any more time in the garage my wife will leave me for good. These old machines are a labor of love but worth every minute. The utility of a 1000lb lift capacity on an antique piece is outstanding. I'm sure we will see old Melroes pushing materials for decades to come. Lets keep them alive, and prevent them from getting crushed up into cheap Chinese crap! [/QUOTE]
