C-101 SEEMS A LITTLE SLOW

Recommended Posts

ronhatch

 Now that I've mowed several times with my newly restored  C-101, I'm finding it a little slow mowing in 2nd gear. I'm thinking of replacing the 5" transmission pulley with a 4 1/2" pulley and of course going to a shorter drive belt.

 Does anyone have experience doing this modification? Would a 4 1/2" be worth while or would a 4" be better. What size belt worked with the pulley change?

 I don't want to go too fast and jeopardize the quality of cut that I'm getting now. . In other words, the quality of cut is more important to me then speed.

I have a 4" trans pulley on Ebay ......  It is itrem # 131777881327.  Have a look-c as it may suit your needs.  I just revised it for free shipping.

 

ps... Here is an inter-active tool to help fig out the pulley speeds and changes.  It is pretty slick...spend some time with it.
