Tractor Model: Case 222
Year: 1973
Engine Model: Original Kohler K301A
Engine Spec: 47529d
When I first purchased my 222 I replaced several parts that needed replacing. One item was the S/G drive belt. By replacing the belt with the correct Case PN #C14345 directly from Ingersoll I thought I'd have more room for adjustments in the future. Well, needless to say I don't. The new belt leaves no room for adjustments and I've put up with the vibration of this new belt long enough. What I mean by no adjustment is the S/G is already adjusted out to the end of the S/G adjustment braket - no more room to move outward and tighten the belt.
I know there was a discussion on another forum some time ago now regarding a shorter replacement belt (I thought) but I'm not finding it. Has anyone else had the issue of an OEM S/G drive belt being too long to not allow any tightening of the belt? Does anyone have a suggestion to which S/G drive belt I can use in order to have some adjust capabilities?
