Kenmd Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 I purchased a Yates American J170 at an estate auction. Everything was working fine when I brought it home but now having problems with the speed adjustment (belt tension). The adjustment plate seems to have rotated around about 180 degrees and now it will not click into place at the higher speeds. What do I need to do to fix this problem?

Tom King Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 Google "reeves drive adjustments", and you will find everything there is to know about them. Once you get it operating again, only ever change the speed adjustment while it's running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
