JD LT133
How do I adjust NEW traction belt on a JD 133 ? Tractor will not pull a hill in my yard, except in 1st gear.
Thanks, greycat :(

the traction belt is self adjusting, be sure that the two pulley tensioner setup is working free and allowing the belt to tighten. You did get it back on all pulleys?

Hi Joecdeere, Thanks for the reply. I dropped the mower deck and I'm guessing that the tensioner is the spring on the left side and heavy duty spring on the right side that move when the clutch is depressed ??

Should I spray with WD 40 ?? Also do you have a diagram that shows the tensioner ?
thanks, greycat

if it's an LT133 the highlighted part is what moves when the pedal is pushed and the assy moving with the belt weaving through the two pulleys is what keeps it tight.
