Colt Case Ingersoll Garden Tractors

I need to check the adjustment of the belt from motor to mowing deck, on my 1975 Case 224, 48” wide deck. Can’t remember what it is and I’ve seen it before. And ya, I could search numerous places for it. But I thought I’d create some activity on the site.
Thanks for any information.

I never knew there was a way to adjust that belt tightness. I just get it real tight twisting the handle at the front of the mule drive.

The gap between coils is to be 1/8" . see page ten at bottom .https://manuals.ccigt.com/OperatorManua ... 0large.pdf

Thanks Dave. I remember seeing that now.
Hehe, but I’m sure I’ll forget it again, over time.

ooooooh ! that is one thing of precision that I probably never would have looked into.

Hehe. There now. Some activity. Hehe. I’ll see if I can remember by the next time this week that I need to cut,,,, something.

Noel, thanks for posting the question and David thanks for the answer. 1/8” between the coils, that’s tight. I never knew how tight to make that. Harry
