Belt pops off 1A tiller
Hi all I am new to this forum and really enjoy the set up. I have a 1650 and attached the tiller to the back of the tractor today. Fired up the till and everything was ok until I hit some solid soil and tiller had to work. Tiller started jumping a little and the belt on the gearbox to tiller popped off. I am using a 3/8" X 53" belt for tiller. manual calls for 13/32" X 53" belt but the 3/8 seems to sit fine on pulleys. I think the belt keeps popping off because the tiller pulley is a little crooked to the gearbox pulley. I thought maybe to loosen the tiller pulley and slide it over might do the trick. But it seems the pulley or whole tiller is crooked to the gearbox. I have included a pic to show how crooked the pulley is. any ideas on straightening tiller to gear box. I am using multi hole hitch pins to mount the lower half of unit to gearbox. Could those pins be to small allowing play. Thanks all and look forward to posting here a lot.
