We are still fighting some vibration and noise issues with a machine and before we get carried away, want to play with belt tension a bit. Anyone with experience, these belts are VERY difficult to quantify belt tension because you cannot really get to them. Probably a tool that bolts where the drawbar valve plate goes and cranks it down. Should these belts be relatively tight or what? Any play/force at center of belt measurements? Anyone winging it without issue?
We had some noise in the trans that sounded like ball skid. Belts were loose. Now kind of wondering if we need a decent about of tension to get load on the trans bearings or what? Are sloppy belts known to be a vibration issue in these?
