tamurmueen Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Hi, folks. Yesterday, my 2012 started acting up! The 42" drive belt between the BGB and the Transmission does appear to loosen correctly when the clutch pedal is depressed, which used to allow the rear pulley to come to a stop, enabling one to place the tractor in gear with the engine running; however, now, when the clutch is depressed, the rear (Transmission) pulley continues to rotate, and I cannot place the tractor from neutral into gear. Any thoughts?
timflury Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 My 2110 has a Hi Lo kit installed. I am missing the two belt stops for the 6" pulley mounted to the transmission. Check your manual and see if yours are missing as well. Sometimes, the belt guide on the BGB pulley gets loose and falls out of adjustment, thus causing the same issue you describe.
ss74nova Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 This is a belt stop on a 725. I believe it's the same on your 2012. Loosen the 5/8" bolt to let the belt stop swing one way or another. Then tighten it when the belt stop is around 1/8" to 1/4" away from the belt. Here's a copy of the manual if you want the exact way to do it.http://bsintek.basco.com/BriggsDocumentDisplay/default.aspx?filename=ifDDFO9jwJ9iGclRzOfEP5NRQpe
Talntedmrgreen Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 O keep my stops even tighter....under 1/8". They work superbly. With 1/4" I would be grinding gears too.

mbinwi Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 I guess I better check the belt guides and stops on my 738. Having the same issues. Thanks Mike.
tamurmueen Posted July 9, 2014 Author Posted July 9, 2014 Why thank you! I will make the changes when I get home Friday, and pray that is all it is. All the best!
Brettw Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 Is the brake working properly? Or is this not set up like the later models where the brake and trans-axle are meshed?
tamurmueen Posted July 10, 2014 Author Posted July 10, 2014 Yes, The brake is fine. The brake and clutch on these old models are connected mechanically by the same lever - simultaneously loosening the drive belt actuator pulley (clutch) and cinching a hub connected to the transmission/axle (brake).
Brettw Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 So, even with the brake on, the belt is tight enough to continue to turn the driven pulley?
tamurmueen Posted July 10, 2014 Author Posted July 10, 2014 Thanks for the clarification question, Brett. I will return home tomorrow, and confirm that while the transmission pulley is turning the brake hub is stopped. Thank you for your help!
tamurmueen Posted July 10, 2014 Author Posted July 10, 2014 Can anyone confirm whether or not there were wire drive-belt guides on the transmission pulley of these old 2010 and 2012 models? None of mine have them. Would it be possible to get a diagram, in order to pull the part number? Thank you!
Willy Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 There should be two belt stops on the back side of pulley on the trans.
