INCREASING MOWING SPEED IN 2ND GEAR

Recommended Posts

ronhatch

 I  just mowed with my newly restored  C-101 yesterday. It mowed well, but I found that the ground speed was a little slow in 2nd gear and of course, 3rd gear is out of the question for mowing, but even 3rd is slow for pulling a trailer or getting from point A to point B. Has anyone decreased the size of the transmission 5" pulley to increase the ground speed to maybe a 4 1/2" pulley?  If so, what size belt did you use?  Thinks for your input!  Ron

Have you considered putting a larger pulley on the engine? The hydro models used one that can be made to work with only miner work and a longer belt. There have been a few members that have done this and they spoke highly of the results :)
