i went against my inner feeling and put chains on my tires.

they run good, except for the fact that one belt keeps popping off.

out of curiosity, how hard and expensive is it to swap in a peerless.

its not that hard, just have to line the stuff up, which means raising or lowering the motor, or tranny,
as to cost, you'd have to price a tranny near you, id look for a mst, but the foote four speeds are nice too

i also would need to make a new clutch and shift linkage right? that would be the hardest prt for me

yea, shift linkage aint no problem if you still have your deck hight bar, but the clutch would be the hardest thing, best bet would be get on off the mower you get the tranny off of, i can do a vid on my shifted if you want so you can see how i did mine

alright     that sounds good

i have a problem. whenever i get stuck and put it in reverse the top belt pops off. does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it. 

in all my years using shift on the go  havent encountered this problem.

and it only happens in reverse

Sounds like belt flex or at the most a stretched belt. check belt condition,.. or the belt alignment is off. check that all your pulleys are snugged down and look for twisted belt anywhere.

Also it might need an extra tensioner pulley

im not too worried about the problem because i want to swap in a peerless withe the single belt system. its just annoying

We had the same thing on my buddys silver mtd.. we ended up finding the belt was routed wrong.. also try putting it in first gear reverse and lifting the seat and remove battery why its running and watch the belt to see what it does.

have a new problem now. my engin is blowing out through the carb. does that mean i have a bad valve or could i just tighen it?

it also leaks fuel out f the card. is that a stuck needle valve?
