Possibly running a 1/2 inch belt where a 5/8 belt should be used?

Yeah I'm thinking that the belt could be too thin. And I also love that service pit, it must make working on the belts/pulleys and underside of your tractor much easier.

That pit is awesome, is that like a tornado shelter or something? My grandparents in OKC have something like that.

It's certainly unique to be mowing with your ATLT, but I think it's kinda cool. Makes it an all-purpose machine. Have you thought about making the deck to release quickly if you want to remove it for mudding/off-roading.

Ooo shiny mower deck! I like it
Have you thought about making a brace for that exhaust, it could be putting stress on the engine block.

If your MST is like mine, there will be spacers between the casing of the trans and the rim. You could put those on the outside of the rim, between the rim and e-clip. That would move the wheels further in towards the casing and perhaps allow you to fit the bagger. You could also modify the bagger chute, but it would probably be easier to move the wheels inward.

You could reinforce the frame with tube steel or rod steel . Makes the frame more rigid and handles off roaring much better.

Yeah new tyres would be a good idea. Your mower looks like it would be fun whizzing through woods @20mph, not hardcore mudding/rock crawling.

Looking good. On mine, with all the torque from all the gearing, I can just feel the frame twisting and flexing. And that's with just cutting the grass. I'll probably have to check the frame every season for cracks. I don't feel like tearing it all apart just yet to reinforce the frame. I'll wait till it starts cracking before I do that.

Is that a pond in the last pic? That's pretty cool spot with the rocks. Nice exhaust pipe!

I think the vari drive belts are bigger than 5/8" but smaller the 7/8" . They are unique belts and that might be why tour having so much belt slippage. Could also spray some belt conditioner to make them more sticky and last longer with better grip. I used some spray adhesive once to go deep water mudding and it worked well bit I think the chemicals degraded the belt material eventually.

Is the belt slippage on the engine belt or the trans belt? and you fixing the engine pulley help? To make sure you have the right belts, you measure the outside part of the belt to be 5/8.
