Re: (ET) Tractor ride not smooth

How does one tighten the drive belts?

1. Loosen the 4 carriage bolts that hold the motor bracket to the chassis
(the tops of the bolts are visible in the 'floorboard').

2. Push the motor forward with some sort of prybar, length of wood, etc. -
Keep the motor staright in the chassis.

3. Tighten bolts while keeping the pressure on.

It's a bit hard to do by yourself, but possible.
