timing varible speed cylinders on JD 4400

h1johnston · Oct 31, 2016

If I follow the instructions in repair manual, top sheave closed, bottom sheave open to time. What speed will the cylinders be working at? Will they be at the fastest speed or slowest speed before any other adjustments?
Thanks Hu

With the top sheave narrow and the bottom wide,you would have the cylinder running the fastest.The top shaft is the driving pulley and the
bottom is the driven pulley, so it is like being in overdrive.

With the top closed and the bottom open you will be at the fastest speed the cylinder will run.

Thanks for response. One other question, are the sprockets and timing chain suppose to be aligned? Mine are at a slanted angle.

The sprockets should be pretty straight.
