The Tuul Crib 7,339 #1 Posted December 15, 2019 So I'm out pushing dirt with my 414-8 on my hillside and I'm givin er all she's got! When all of a sudden. BANG!! Wow what a noise that was. The belt wrapped around the PTO and it was slapping as it was spinning making a God awful clatter. Luckily for me I have a extra belt just a matter of a little downtime ! 1 2 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Tuul Crib 7,339 #4 Posted December 15, 2019 Well it wasn't too bad after all I just now finished up on putting the belt on. And still have a little daylight left. Now I have a little jerking motion when I let out the clutch I hope the belt stretches a little to fix this! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wishin4a416 2,192 #5 Posted December 15, 2019 It gave its best. I am going to replace mine in the spring as it is 33 years old. I cant have a breakdown when taking it to the Mtns. to do camp. Just to far away and no place to buy one handy up there. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peter lena 9,316 #8 Posted December 16, 2019 never had a belt fail like that , i regularly look over my belts for any signs of problems, then again ,as said 33 years out of a belt is well beyond its life. interesting that my original headlights lasted more than 30 years , that used to be an american standard , pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
