Cox ride-on mower throws belts.
G'day Max
Phew...now I'm searching the old grey matter because we had exactly the same problem with a Cox many years ago, although it was only one of the many problems!! Don't start me!! LOL What we did was cut a bracket from some gal angle and attach it to the mower deck (can't remember exactly where). Attached to the bracket was a roller bearing that came out of something else that was lying around...our spare parts dept was a bit of a dog's breakfast and contained all sorts of stuff. All good for something at some time or other!!! LOL Anyway, the bracket that was attached to the mower deck meant that the belt had to run in a fairly tight space and couldn't fling itself off the pulley. I seem to remember that we bought an incorrect size belt (on purpose) too, but can't think if it was larger or smaller. I do remember though, that we tried a breakable link belt but that was disastrous, they are easy to fit but stretch like crazy. Sorry I can't be anymore specific, it was a longggg time ago, but hope this might start the ball rolling. Bronwyn ;-) Max wrote: G'day. Looks like a nice friendly newsgroup you have here. I was wondering if any of you good people would know a fix for a Cox ride-on mower that throws belts? My next door neighbour wants to sell his 6 year old Cox mower for $1,000. But he also doesn't want to sell it because it has thrown belt on a regular basis since it was new. He reckons that his ears would never stop burning! :-) He says it's a twin rotor with a belt that you just about need a road map to replace. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. -Max |
