The yellow pulley is upside down, that would cause the over-running clutch to not engage the shaft. Just flip the yellow pulley and with a bit of luck, that will fix the problem on the cheap!
Agree, comparing red to yellow and the spacing and the bolt down plate - one of them is upside down. I would tend to lean towards the yellow one as being incorrect. Check diagrams and address before running.
First I want to say you're not an idiot for restoring correctly. Thank you for wanting to fix things properly. I figure regardless what you are going to do with the unit, atleast it will be right for the next person to get it. Thanks for your time with sharing your videos.
Dang I hope you're able to get it lined out without too much trouble . It always seems like this kinda stuff happens to me as well . The new tractors with the mower decks won't last as long as yours . I always wanted a C tractor with a belly mower . Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend !
Hello Gino there failures with everything unless you dont use it. I think thats a retaining clip keep the shaft up and I agree may cost but it's what you want that's important. Need to get spring cant run without throttle. Did you get freezing rain thursday terrible bad here ice over a inch thick. See you then.
Yeah I'm going to do an update video tomorrow. We got just above freezing rain and then we got just below freezing snow and it turned the roads to slush
Good video an it wasn't Red Power 💥 that let you down 🙄 watching the blades starting up again after the break down I know the blades swivel but it looked like the arms the blades are attached to took a while to pick up speed as if it was some sort of friction drive as opposed to a direct drive 🤔 hope you can video the tear down and rebuild so we can see exactly what was going on 👍
Have a woods deck like that under a Allis B. Did alot of mowing with it. Unfortunately a fire melted back tire on one side. If it was in the shed struck by lightning would have been a total loss. Middle of winter, imagine that. Couldn't scrap it, memories
Excellent video Gino :) and think that yellow should have pulley with sleeve on pulley weld on to fix that gap and parts need ! I know seen ones 3 point hitch are distance of ground like lawn mowers ride tractor with bed in middle and get more RPM if up higher on yours how to try that out!
That governor spring is easy replacement no pulling cub down, get new spring grind down the curled ends a little , put a string on the bottom end feed down past crank pulley hook top of spring where it goes, pull on string and using a screwdriver work the bottom of spring into its hook total time to replace 5 to 10 minutes How do I know my cub broke that spring a few years ago and found the fix on a chat forum saved hours of work stripping down the front end
On are rotary mower. If I let the clutch out to fast when I start the mower I break the shear pin. 39 h p tractor. A little bolt on the power shaft in front of the gear box.
I agree, makeing it right sometimes you have to bite the bullet and spend the money. Even when it comes to my quads, kids dirt bikes or the farmall 300. Do it right or dont do it at all..
There is a big difference between parts that cost a lot because they are hard to get ( High quality well build antique parts) vs parts that cost a lot because they can't keep them in stock because they are breaking all the time. If you put money into a part and get 20 years out of it. Then it's cheap. If you buy a high dollar part every couple to few years. That always cost more. Have a great weekend FF! See ya!
Been 50 years since I was mowing yards and gardens with that same mower on a cub. It should easily cut your field. As you say, get a manual and parts diagram, then put it right and adjust to spec. It will mow as long as you want to.
The good news about woods 42c , parts are still available through local dealer's.. Any luck with buying the 184 corn planter? They however are hens teeth...
I would think it has a bearing lock collar, that holds the shaft in place. Set screws sometimes get loose, lets the shaft slip down alittle, so the shaft / pulley lock keys don"t engage. I don"t know, maybe something to look at.
That should be an over-running clutch and I'm dog-sitting gauge the pulley to the arbor when you put power to that pulley that way the blades will keep spinning when you push the clutch in and stop the belt from turning
Figuring out what has and hasn't been done, incorrectly or otherwise, on this antique equipment is the one thing I have found to be the most frustrating part when you first aquire one of these 🙃
Hey FF, glad to hear you are going to fix it right. Too many shortcuts and you know what you end up with. Just curious, how is the next tractor hunt going? Found a nice 560 yet? My 59' 560 gasser has a 2250 Mount O Matic on it. Perfect match even though the manufacture years are quite different . You can disconnect the loader in about five minutes and hit the field. Nice replacement for the 400 you have. Good Luck and happy hunting.
You could go buy a brand new tractor with a big price tag but what’s the fun in that. With old stuff you get dirty, bust you’re knuckles, bleed and swear. That sounds a whole lot more exciting then taking it to the dealer. Besides if you fix it yourself you’ll know what you did and the old will outlast the new every time.
I hope That yellow brush hogg doesn't mean you got lemon other words mean no count people will tell you anything just to sell I learned the hard way myself
Do you know if you would lower that mower the better job it would do? BUT no you would rather be a dork and try to mow with it all the way up. The old timers are laughing at you and shaking their heads.
My grandfather had a 1964 LoBoy with a similar belly mower. He mowed a hundred acres of nursery twice a year. He was a 32 degree old timer and ran with the deck angled like that. The leading edge would shorten the grass/brush and the trailing edge would bring it down to finish height. Final pass was level deck. Nobody wants to be downrange if that mower strikes a log or rock.

Actually the red pully is upside down the yellow one is right side up.. I'm going to do an update video tomorrow
You're warm
@@FarmallFanatic That would be to know it is a 50/50 shot at it. I would think that their would be a shear pin or bolt somewhere
Good luck getting it fixed. You are very right about everyone has their own preference. Thanks for sharing.

Learning is knowing! Fixing it right 👍
Great video , making things right is half the challenge but the right thing to do. They will last you a lifetime. 🇺🇸
Git R Dun, and git r dun right. I'm envious that you have no snow there!
Let go let’s mow’ LOL!!! Good one
Lol
Good job I do the same thing fix it right so it works right! RED POWER!
It's ok to take the yellow auction reserve tag off by now! LOL
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
That's why I run old equipment on my farm

I was going to say, "new bearing...... Ummmm 15 years ago" 😂 💥BOOM💥

I agree with you the job on that mower was poorly done.
You have a couple of "parts" tractors you could have grabbed a spring off of the keep running. 😁😁😁
I wish I have no parts tractors here... Spring was only 9 bucks
@@FarmallFanatic kafferlins actually had it in stock? 😄
We have a 1949 with that same set up! Great little tractor
fantastic

Skid plates look good
Bout 80$ just for the belt
Hello my tractor loving friend! Hope your doing well! ❤
Is good seeing you
Devil's in the doing! You don't know how something is until you push it into action!! 🙂
Had one of those mowerers.. it is comon to shear the keys. Fairley easy to change just have to pull the shiv off
I'm gonna do an update tomorrow I found the problem

Yeah I've done that on my other
In addition to the over-running clutch not working, I believe you're missing a spacer under that yellow "cap" .
You are correct there's actually 3 of them and I ordered those as well
I agree, makeing it right sometimes you have to bite the bullet and spend the money. Even when it comes to my quads, kids dirt bikes or the farmall 300. Do it right or dont do it at all..
Just another day on the farm. This is why farmers have such a wide variety of skills. Have to to keep things going.
It's not really upfront knowledge that you need to farm it's the ability to figure things out and fix them and then store the knowledge
@@FarmallFanatic Amen brother! Well said!

It's so true
I feel you when you say " I am the idiot who gets them right" I am the same idot and I also say cheaper to keep her once you fix her... 👍
Yeah they never leave once I get them perfect
Good looking boots,what brand. The last 3 pair I've bought have been crap
HISEA
nice cuby!!!
Let’s grow let’s mow!! What’s that white stuff falling for two days in a row?!?!
Got to tell you we really haven't had much of a Winter up here... Fifties and sixties quite often... Is Twilight Zone material
@@FarmallFanatic It’s all over the place here, planted taters one day and killed the hogs the next……… versatility and a good immune system are key!😂

Not yet I'm still working him
Fix them right. Thats the only way to do it
A lot of bad stuff up your way. Be safe
I would think it has a bearing lock collar, that holds the shaft in place. Set screws sometimes get loose, lets the shaft slip down alittle, so the shaft / pulley lock keys don"t engage. I don"t know, maybe something to look at.
Looks to one of the pulleys is up side down??
Correct
Can't win em all. It'll be working perfect.
That should be an over-running clutch and I'm dog-sitting gauge the pulley to the arbor when you put power to that pulley that way the blades will keep spinning when you push the clutch in and stop the belt from turning
The guy before me boogered it up pretty good
@@FarmallFanatic he didn't want to spend the money to get the correct parts the way it looks
Could you swap the yellow mower for the red mower until the new parts arrive?
Yeah I probably could but I'm going to do an update tomorrow
Hopefully you can get it fixed without spending $800+. I say mow and plow around the perimeter. Then burn inside. 🔥 🚨👍🍻
Yeah that's really what it needs
Yes but, then he would miss out on the fun of mowing with it,lol.
That governor spring is either surprisingly easy to replace or I just got lucky. Heck I don't even remember how I did it, it was so easy.
Well I'm looking at it and I think if you have small hands and arms you can reach in there and do it
@@FarmallFanatic small hands and arms? That ain't me. I think a needle nose vise grip was involved.
Figuring out what has and hasn't been done, incorrectly or otherwise, on this antique equipment is the one thing I have found to be the most frustrating part when you first aquire one of these 🙃
And people wonder why I never sell anything. Once I get it right why would I?

i got a 59 woods finish i need a web site ... share it man . im using it on my 1950 C
Unfortunately things break down. You'll get it fixed and make sure it's fixed.

Agree
Your pulley is spinning through the shaft. You got something missing.
You're warm
With those bolts on top of the pully could that possibly have a centrifugal clutch in it
Is overrun clutch
Hopefully it's something simple and you can get it do e soon.
I hope That yellow brush hogg doesn't mean you got lemon other words mean no count people will tell you anything just to sell I learned the hard way myself
Is that pulley on upside-down? Or is that even possible? 🤔
That is what I came here to say, the yellow pulley is upside down!
Is the red pulley is upside down
The red one you mean
That’s a pto override
Yeah it's wore out
Personally, I would spend the money. get the parts and learn how to fix it . That's what a hobby is all about. no need to justify what you spend.
Agree
That ole boy lied to you.
That's why I paid well below asking price because of stuff like this
@@FarmallFanatic I can understand that, I do it too, paying little as possible. I just don't like it when the people you buy it from lie about it.
Burp
Do you know if you would lower that mower the better job it would do? BUT no you would rather be a dork and try to mow with it all the way up. The old timers are laughing at you and shaking their heads.
Test run on a new piece of equipment? What's wrong with you?
