I have a D105 mower that moves too slow. I changed the transmission drive belt but it didn't help. Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks.. there's nothing on the transmission. I had it completely out a few weeks ago but this problem has been going on all summer. It's a General Transmission RT 400 I think. Plastic housing. I didn't know if there's an adjustment somewhere maybe or what.I work at a dealership and will be glad to help.
There are a few bulletins that can help diagnose this.
The first step is to make sure you get all loose debris off the top of the transmission as that can interfere with the external linkage that works the variators.
After cleaning the top of the transmission, let me know how it does.
If you still have issues, please post some pictures of your variators and the top of your transmission.
The last guy I helped on here had a stick stuck underneath the rear variator.
The only way to see it is to look up under the back of the transmission.
Let me know how you make out.
I am usually online 8am-5pm and check in various times during the day.

I hope my experience with this helps others. I purchased used d105 and it would only do 3mph max. Went after the easier transmission belt first. It improved the pedal feel but no increase is speed. I then dropped the transmission and saw the variator belt was worn to 2/3 the thickness of a new belt. Could see a lot of belt dust on top of the tranny. I replaced it along with putting on a new secondary variator pulley/spring assembly. Now it drives like new, almost 7mph according my garmin. The transmission isn’t too difficult to drop, there are videos on youtube how to do it. It seems like a lot of people don’t want to replace that belt because the tranny has to be completely removed. Glad I did it though.I have a D105 mower that moves too slow. I changed the transmission drive belt but it didn't help. Any info would be appreciated.
FINALLY , we get a new member that is willing to assist in problem solving rather than first feeling the need to chew someone's arse out by telling those how stupid they are .I work at a dealership and will be glad to help.
