My 7 HP 924032 is having a hard time going into higher gears.
In addition, when it goes in all gears it rattles a lot and doesn't drive without buckling. It catches for a second then doesn’t, over and over. I took the plate off the bottom and everything is connected, the motor runs great, I can see the drum spinning fine. The chain has a tiny bit of slack in it but not much. I can't tell if the rattling noise is coming from the 2 gears that might not be catching fully or from somewhere else. It’s a 1979 model that always starts first pull so fixing it would be great but as you can imagine I don’t want to drop a ton of dough on it. I tightened the drive disc adjustment nut (quite a bit actually) but the wheels didn't bind and just kept turning as I moved them. Any help would be appreciated.
