Clutch not releasing

I am the recent owner of a 1977 16/6 twin sears. I can not get the belt to stop turning no mater how I adjust it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I had the same trouble with my ST-12 and was forced to parafin the belt just so I could stop the tractor when I wanted. Just when I was about to give up and buy the hated John Deere, I found a hardware store that sold belt with a low friction wrap mad just for power equipment. Now I have a nice soft clutch action, just like the when new.

Thank you. I felt certein Sombody besides me had been through this. Thanks again. Atbone

The parafine worked. I will keep some handy.

Well the parafin worked but not for long. Anybody know any thing about the belt LOW FRICTION WRAP. I had never heard of them until jbaffo posted a reply. Thanks in advance for any help you can give. Atbone

The belts I referred to are made by MLB-Three Stars out of Ottawa, Illinois and are sold at my local Ace True Value store.

Are the Belts you refered to made by Mitsuboshi Belting Ltd. They are the only company in Ottawa that I could find. Do you know what the belt is called, I could not pick it out on there web site. Thanks again Allen Tee

You have all the information I have. I will try to find out what the belt number is that is on my tractor but I will be out of town for the next few weeks so it will be a while before I can post the info.
