Fan Belt Replacement.

[BADDBOYY21]

I am planning on replacing the fan belt on my 165 this weekend. I do not have a manual as of yet. Can I replace the belt by loosening the generator or do I have to remove parts?

Thanks in advance.

You should be able to loosen & push the generator/alternator forward. Slip the belt off the generator pulley and over/off any other pulleys and then over the fan. A quick look at the fan belt and its path will determine if any parts need to be removed. It may be a difficult path but there should not be any parts needing removal. Google your tractor model/type and see if an owners manual is available on the web for viewing.

Thanks! By looking at it, I figured I could do it without removing anything.

Had to remove the radiator shroud to get the belt over the fan.
