I just looked at a WD that was for sale near me and the belt pulley had a lever to engage it that was separate from the PTO. I thought you had to engage the PTO to start the belt pulley. The lever was attached to the steering column support and had three notches in it about a 1/2" apart. I have never seen this setup before and was hoping someone could enlighten me about it.

It is an after-market shift mechanism. You would normally loosen a set screw and lock-nut then shift the pulley in or out as needed. This mechanism alllows you to do it from the seat! Kindova neat feature, and I wish I had one! ------------- You don't really have to be smart if you know who is! |

| If you're a hobby farmer with maybe a half dozen head of beef it's nice to have an old hammermill. Those were belt driven. I never engaged the pulley until it was set, so it was no big deal to get off the tractor. It was kind of a kludge to go from one side of the tractor to the other to lock and unlock the clutch holder, though. |

| Do you go to tractor shows? The weekend of September 16 & 17 we had a belt driven stationary corn sheller plus a threshing machine in use. We also have a Baker fan that runs off a tractor's belt pulley. |

I went to the GOTO in Ottawa, KS Sept. 15, but had to leave before I could see everything. Lots of cool tractors and friendly people. ------------- 1953 WD45 WF/Model 90 Loader, Oxnard Rear Blade, 80R Mower, Model 209 Disc, WD Rear Mounted Scoop, Model 184 & 160 Rotary Mowers, 1952 CA NF/L306CA mower, 1953 CA WF/Model 8 Loader. |

Hi Rusty. Look at LittleMarv's post about his recently acquired accessory. A front mounted buzz saw. I have one and we used my 45 to run our hammermill when I was a kid at home on the farm. Wish now that I had bought that at our farm sale or spoke for it before the sale. BTW, I was born and raised and graduated(1975) down at Carthage. You and/or your family may have heard of my dad, Alan, as he was a Funk's G seed dealer and distributor back in the day.
------------- How blessed we are by HIS GRACE! |

I also have a front mount buzz saw for my D17 that folds up againest the raditor for transport. Is also the cats meow to start other tractors with a belt pully all by your self your working on. I block the rear wheels and lock the brakes on the tractor to be started. Run the D 17 in line place the belt on the pulleys in a figure 8, Back thre D 17 up till the belt is tight and lock the brakes. Get the belt a going to make sure I have it lined up properly, go back to the tractor I am wanting started remove thr clutch pedal lock I made and slowly let the clutch out and the engine starts to turn and many time will fire right up. As fast as towing but doing it alone.  Al |
