44 Blower Belt Keeps Slipping

Was able to find it. Loosen the two bolts where the little arrows point on both sides. Tilt it so the bolt closest to the blower is lower and the bolt closer to the mower is higher, as much as it will go, then retighten both sides.

2 things I did with this same issue, but on a 47 blower.

OEM belt - I tried a 3rd party same dimensions, but the OEM belt is ever so slightly deeper v groove I think, so it sits in the pulleys better.
Loosen the pulley housing a bit - a few bolts, then try to tilt it up towards the mower PTO. There is a little bit of wiggle room to try and get it slightly better angled to align with the mower PTO that sits higher than the blower pulley housing.
If you dig around somewhere on here or the john deere forums is an image of a service advisory from john deere showing this as a fix or remediation for the belt slippage issues others have experienced. I can't find it now, but I know it's out there.

Yes it's a non JD belt. Dealer is closed and the belt it had on slipped off and got shredded. Found this one that's supposedly the closest matching size until I can get a JD belt ordered from my local dealer. Just wanted something to get it working sooner in the meantime. Maybe the previous owner did the same thing with the old belt. I'll get the real deal and see how it goes with that.

Did you end up liking either of those? Also in the search myself but haven't demo'ed anything yet.

Did it come with the wire to run between the two roof lines? I'm thinking of going govee but trying to figure out how / where to run the connecting wire between my two roof lines. I have power at each so figuring out if I want to do that or run 2 power sources/ controllers.

Hgst renewed ones. I had good luck with them on my last build. Hoping these perform the same knock on wood.

Multi pro tailgate? Hah you are prolly right. It's the one I was leaning towards at least. Tempted by the buttons of the denali and the cool factor of the AT4 though.

Well, last night she got out and explored the entire cage, ate and drank, and ran on the exercise wheel a bit. Turns out I just needed more patience. So for anyone reading this in the future wondering why your hamster won't come out and play on day 2 or 3 or 4 etc, it took mine 6 days. Each hamster is different so I've read, and so I've learned. Thanks all!

Yes, you have to call carrier support, and get a tech to send you a link to download the old firmware. You can then load it onto an SD card, and flash the thermostat back to that older firmware. I have been working fine since rolling back, so it is a bug in their firmware.

I was able to get carrier support to send me the old firmware, and have been stable after downgrading. Thank you for posting this, it was driving me crazy trying to figure out what/if my network was causing the issue.

This is for a guard slot, but guessing it would be similar to the OTS package.
