[QUOTE="Unicam, post: 96502, member: 13790"] an update for the hecks of it... after i put a shim under the allen i think i hurt my roto swivel asm. as it's leaving a oil ring around the sheave hole and dripping a little. i'm sure it's my fault as i saw it was closing as if it had too much pressure but i probably did it 10-15 times anyway hoping the sheave would stay closed. I had an idea to remove the shim and back the allen out as to reduce the pressure to the sheave. This way i could bungee the lever all the way forward but only partially close the sheave. It did seem to work but The problem still exists when i try to turn, even on grass the belt stops and i lose power to the wheels. it does seem to go forward and backwards ok but not great. It's weak enough that i'm apprehensive to drive it down a slight grade to my back yard. I have only 1 acre and got the machine in hopes of doing some very light work. maybe i'll try to deglaze the sheave or ruff up the belt in an attempt to keep it from slipping.? would belt dressing help me at all?
