4 x 2 Gator Secondary Clutch Rattles
Just bought a 4X2 gas gator and the secondary clutch rattles while it is idling. The previous owner replaced the drive belt and the clutch buttons, and then the noise started. I have seen a couple of post that has alluded to this problem but no one has mentioned a fix. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

The owners manual tells you to check the clutch wear pads and the buttons for wear, but nothing on replacing them. I pretty sure the previous owner put it back together wrong. I've seen some treads with people talking about rebuilding the secondary, but nothing on how to do it.

So the buttons can be changed without taking the clutch apart? I will check the buttons and make sure that they are all seated properly.
I have another question about the belt. When the engine is idling should the belt be jumping around? My understanding of how the drive works is that as the RPM's increase the belt is pulled lower in the back sheave producing more friction, and thus engaging the transaxle. Through out all of this the center distance stays the same so there should be some tension on the belt during idling and with the motor off. Do you know if this is correct or am I all wrong?

Thanks for all the help. One last question again on the belt. I am thinking the belt may be the wrong size and that is why it is jumping around at idle. It is an industrial belt that is supposed to be an interchange. How tight should the belt be when not running? Right now you can easily take it on and off.
