I bought this 1971 model from
Minnesota. It has 1300 hrs. The problem
is not steering well and unable to go
up inclines. It couldn't drive up my
trailers ramps. I measured the drive
belt. It's 1.2 inches wide. New belts
are 1.81 inches. Could this wear that
much and cause slipping and turning
problems? I can't tell if the variable
speed pulley is adjusting when moving
the lever. Any suggestions are
appreciated. Overall the machine is in
great shape and runs well. Thanks
