Anyone have one of these, specifically the 54A model, but there are other models just like it. There is a crank handle which is manually operated from the tractor seat. Rotating the crank handle adjusts the speed of the thrower belts. My problem: turning the crank handle does not adjust the belt speed because there is flexible hose or cable attached to the crank handle rod which is then connected to the screw that drives the belt tensioner. This cable or hose just flexs and twists and does not move the tensioner. Is there a bevel gear option for this or some other fix? It would be a real luxury for me if this would work!
