Hello all. I am new to the forum as a member although I have followed it for several years now. I recently purchased a GP and am really enjoying setting it up so far. I am having an issue of the clutch not fully disengaging the belt causing the tranny to want to nudge forward in gear. Needless to say this caused premature failure of the shift keys. I have ordered a new set of 4 but would like to get this problem straightened out to avoid further issues. The mower has the 8 in ec engine pulley, 5 in ec tranny pulley, as well as the ec clutch on the slack side. The current belt is a 67" and takes quite a bit of effort to put on without it threaded through the clutch. I tried a 68" but it was loose on the tight side and a test drive confirmed the looseness by slipping. I have 3 belt guides around each pulley as well as one for each clutch pulley. Any help would be greatly appreciated and I thank you for taking the time to read this.
