Unofficial Home of Old Simplicity & Allis-Chalmers Garden Tractors

6-speeds


Del

Recommended Posts

In case anyone has a 6-speed tractor, I offer the following. When I bought my 912, the high speed was very grabby. The belt was an ordinary hardware brand so I decided to try a new belt from Simplicity. Amazing. New tractor! You who have been following this site for some time remember the discussion some time ago about belts. Well, in my opinion the brand does make a difference when it comes to belts.

Jack, Just for you. When I bought my B12 it had a hardware store belt on it for the drive belt. When I started to use it I was burning up a belt every week. That made me decide to drive the 90 miles to the nearest AC dealer and get the correct belt. I have the receipt for that belt dated 1973 and the belt is still on my B12 that I use to mow, snowblow, doze, till, plow, etc. Still runs fine without slipping. Proud holder of the oldest living drive belt award. Bestowed on me by someone in this club, but I'd have to look back though the old Yahoo messages to see who. Maybe you remember who it was Jack. Well that's it. Tim

Hey Tim I might just go back and hunt it up. Maybe if we ask Fred real nice he might save it. Thanks for the honor story-Jack

Hey - I'll go on record for the "Oldest Living Belt Contest" idea - thank you. We should also be hearing from a 6-speed puller this year - I hope he gives the Cadets a run!

And how much should we pay 'Fred" this time. I thought he was in it the contest the last time-so why should he want anything opps sorry Fred Ok Fred how much did you say you wanted to do it for us?

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
