| Thanks. getting back into this hobby. I got the throttle and choke sorted today and welded up a front pulley. Also replaced one of the clutch pulley as it made quite a bad noise and I started to weld up a rear pulley. Going for a 5 inch front and a 4 rear.

| Well I got her driving today. Works well but I've got a few issues to iron out. - Need a stronger clutch spring
- still makes a horrible screeching noise when clutch is engaged that seems to be coming from the front.
Anyone have any ideas on the latter point? | |

| sorry, my brain is going every which way today. You say - MatthewD wrote:
- makes a horrible screeching noise when clutch is engaged
Is it possible that your belt is a little too small? That when you are clutching, the brakes are engaged tranny stopped and nothing back there is turning. Your belt still tight enough that the engine pulley is slipping still trying to engage?, (or need belt guide, unfortunately I cannot see the forum images at work to see if you posted your belt). I'm just grasping at things I have encountered. | |

| When I say 'clutch engaged' I mean the clutch is in the 'out' position i.e not pushed in.
Anyway, I think it is a bad input bushing on the trans. I have a spare trans that I'm gonna grease up and put in for now and later on I'll lock the one that originally came out of the mower. | |

| By the way, this is the tag on the spare trans. Anyone know if this is similar to an 801 peerless? !['86 Westwood T1200 - Page 4 Dsc00444](https://i.servimg.com/u/f37/19/17/10/05/dsc00444.jpg) | |

| Could be a bad idler bearing or something against an idler. On MUTT i had an idler bearing lock up and it was spinning on the pressed-in spacer, made a heck of a noise! And I'd imagine that trans is pretty similar, might just be different gearing or different length axles. | |

| Fairly sure it is a trans problem because it nothing else seems to be causing it. Been using the Westwood quite a bit today, drawing wood etc. !['86 Westwood T1200 - Page 4 Img_2010](https://i.servimg.com/u/f58/19/17/10/05/img_2010.jpg) !['86 Westwood T1200 - Page 4 Img_2011](https://i.servimg.com/u/f58/19/17/10/05/img_2011.jpg) However, I noticed that the belt slips quite a lot in 4/5th gear esp. with a trailer on. I'm just gonna add another idler in to take up the slack. | |

| So added an idler pulley, seems to have solved the slipping issue. Clocked her at 21.37mph today! Now that I've got her running I've a list of improvements to make - Fix whining/screeching noise in trans
- New and improved exhaust system
- Rear bumper (tow point etc)
- Maybe a paint job but not sure

| Right so, looks like the belt problems are not all solved. I just got the belt on Monday and already it is frayed and has at least 1 split in it. I've done my best to line the pulleys up properly, the only reason I can see is the belt got caught in the lip of one of the idler pulleys. Anyway, I'm gonna let her sit for a while and get some other projects finished up and then I'll get back to wrenching on this mower. | |

| 20 or 30 more belt guides and it'll be good. Belt issues are a pain, I can't stand trying to figure them out. 21mph not too bad! | |

| I don't think belt guides are the problem. Would a belt get frayed/split with a few days use if the pulleys were out of line by 1/2, 3/4 inch? | |

| What? It's not that bad! LOL ![Very Happy](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_biggrin.png) The pulley used to be the engine pulley from a AYP mower. When I was cutting it off, I accidentally cut into the surface of the pulley so then I had to weld it up. | |

| Yeah Anyway, from now until the summer I plan on completely finishing this project because it's usually never working. To-do list -completely redo the whole belt system. re position clutch pedal and rebuild clutch. new bigger pulleys (have to see what sizes I can find) -new(ish) front and rear tyres. Ag's rear and knobbies front. -front and rear bumpers -dual throttle. courtesy of @RevDogg-fix fuel leak -new exhaust -build up and lock the peerless 832 | |

| For what it's worth, if you have a big gap in something that needs to be filled in, slap a piece of copper in there. Weld won't stick to the copper and you can still weld on it to fill in gaps.

| I found a 6 1/2 inch pulley that I'm either going to use on the front or rear. Anywho, been looking at ways and means of locking the 832 trans I have. Opened it up, its design uses the robust diff carrier setup. !['86 Westwood T1200 - Page 4 Img_2027](https://i.servimg.com/u/f58/19/17/10/05/img_2027.jpg) !['86 Westwood T1200 - Page 4 Img_2026](https://i.servimg.com/u/f58/19/17/10/05/img_2026.jpg) Now, after watching all the related vids, I believe the best and safest way to lock a diff is the Doc Locker Weldless 2.0. However, am I right in saying that it won't work (with out modification) on a trans with a diff carrier? Or has anyone modified it to work on a 800 series with a differential carrier? | |
