fordsonmajortom 1 #1 Posted September 25, 2008 The transaxle input shaft on my raider 14 moves in and out, so much so that the pulley has rubbed on the belt guard , Is this anything to worry about or will it go on for years yet without any problem apart from a bit of noise.

Curmudgeon 28 #3 Posted September 29, 2008 Dumb question, but I'll ask anyway. You've checked the tightness of the pulley to make sure it is indeed the shaft moving, not just the pulley sliding on the shaft, right? Next dumb question, the belt guard hasn't been bent any, has it? There really isn't a whole lot of clearance to start with....... Just making sure................

Next dumb question, the belt guard hasn't been bent any, has it? There really isn't a whole lot of clearance to start with....... Just making sure................ You were right.It wasn,t a dumb question there was so much crud on the boss of the pulley that it looked like the shaft was moving in and out.The pulley was loose on the shaft I gave it a good pull and it nearly came right off,looks ok just got to fix it properly. The pulley has lost quite a bit of thickness on the flange where it has rubbed on the belt guard ,it was only the belt guard stopping it falling off. The tractor is coming apart soon for a repaint. :USA: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
