You have belt guides near your pulleys that helps to keep the belt on during no engagement
you need to check to see if they are missing or bent and adjust as close to the pulley and belt as possible without interfereing with the belt and pulleys while engaged.IE: no rubbing against the pulley or belt while engaged or moving.

Ford Ranger PX clutch pedal falls to the floor when towing then returns to normal after a couple of days when not towing.

One of two things is wrong with your truck. Either the hydraulic clutch has a worn component that needs to be replaced or the clutch is slipping and needs to be replaced. If this failure only occurs while towing. I suspect the clutch is slipping, heat from the pressure plate is heating the fluid inside the hydraulic clutch and causing it to drop to the floor. Some diagnostics is needed to confirm.

New drive belt still won't pull tractor

Your belt was probably not placed over the tension pulley. Follow the pedal you push to make tractor go forward. Look under the tractor where the belt was installed. If space is tight just lower your deck. The linkage from the pedal will go to the tension pulley. If the belt has been placed on one side of the pulley, and machine is not working then move the belt to the other side of the pulley. Replace any bars that are used to keep belt from falling off. I am interested in hearing back from you. GOOD LUCK FRIEND.

MY HOT AND COLD METER KEEPS RISING AND FALLING

If the fans are electric, then replace the fan control module.
If the fan is belt driven, replace the fan clutch.

There is a chance that the thermostat is failing, but if the temperature fluctyation occurs during driving, as opposed to stopped and idling, then it's probably the fans.
