How to determine model #?

[Winch]

I have never had to do a speed control adjustment.
But it really is not that hard.

Put the belts on then with the Engine running put the F-N-R lever on the N
Start at first gear and one at a time shift to high Gear then back down to first.
This will help set the belts.

To make sure I understand: I start in 1st gear, shift to 7th gear then back to 1st. Then shift to 2nd gear, up to 7th then back to 1st? Then shift to 3rd gear, up to 7th then back to 1st and so on through all 7 gears?

Shift 1-2-3-4-5-6-7
7-6-5-4-3-2-1

Or you can just put it in 7th gear and push the clutch/brakes pedal down and up a couple times slow.

I sure wish I could find the model number on it to be sure. The manual says it is on the upper portion of the rear frame. Anybody know where exactly that should be?

On my '88, the Model and S/N, is located topside next to the battery. It's just a Sticker,, so it may have came unstuck and fell off. Mine is still on since '88.

If your Rear Axle is lubricated with Grease, now would be a good time to grease it.

Good Luck

OK. With the manual I have I may attempt this. When I'm getting new belts I will ask what they would charge then decide if it's worth attempting.

The MTD flat rate time for this repair is 1 hour. That is if everything goes right, which most if the time it doesn't, the biggest culprit is the engine pulley and getting it loose to install the belt. so you could easily get charged more than the hour time, and mtd times are somewhat unrealistic on some repairs.

I finally got around to replacing the drive belts. What a hassle. Trying to get the front belt over the rear pulley and in between those pins was a b&(^*. I finally got it on there only to realize I let the belt go under a bar across the frame. This time I could not get the belt over the deck pulley in the front. The manual just says take the bolt off that pulley and let it slide down from the shaft. I'm pretty sure you need a puller. So I disconnected the belt from the rear again but then I realized if you let up the parking brake the rear pulley combo shifts back and lets the belt go on the bottom pulley go on easy! I had it back together in 15 minutes and now it works like a champ.

Thanks everyone
