Colt Case Ingersoll Garden Tractors

Looking great, Matt, and very well written up. Easy to follow, even with limited tools. Bob Thanks for the angle iron bracket idea. I tried out an A97 belt I has also ordered. Its slightly easier to put on but My tensioner is approaching the end of its adjustment range. The tensioner threads are al...

Dimensions on the bracket. In most photos the caliper is just showing approximate dimensions.

Limited progress today due to work/kids. I trimmed the bracket where the 1/2" socket wrench is inserted. Also trimmed where the spring was contacting the bracket. I may trump this spot a little more.

Thanks guys. I did have a good birthday. I took the afternoon off and we went into the city to check out a popular pizza place I wanted to try since literally 2008 or so. Very good pizza. Usual gifts... picked up a local ice cream cake... also got dinner with the family. It was nice to have the afte...
