N3PUY 1,031 #2 Posted July 16, 2017 The engine looses power or the tractor won't move ??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ffarmer 2 #3 Posted July 16, 2017 Engine is great. Has no or little power in high range ,would not back up in trailer when I bought it . Worked ok in low range. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N3PUY 1,031 #4 Posted July 16, 2017 One of the axle hubs is loose. Put a crayon mark across both hub and axle, try to drive it in high range, see if the marks moved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ffarmer 2 #5 Posted July 16, 2017 Will do when I get it out of the garage. If that is the case , why is it OK in low range ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N3PUY 1,031 #6 Posted July 16, 2017 lo range is turning much slower and not as easy to spin in the hub. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ffarmer 2 #11 Posted July 21, 2017 Jacked it up this afternoon, right rear was at housing and would turn independently . Removed tire , removed hub, cleaned shaft and hub, and replaced all , setting the set bolts tight and jam nuts . Still have slippage and the belt is as tight as the one on my C125 . Did not check pulley on transmission . What next ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cschannuth 3,795 #12 Posted July 21, 2017 Is the engine mounted on a cradle? Mine was and my belt was tight and it still slipped in higher gears. I replace the rubber mounts with solid mounts. Before I did that I jammed plywood shims between the cradle and cradle mount to immobilize the cradle to make sure that was my problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
