old MF-20 W/ mf 32 loader, alternator belt

[boatmoter]

have a 69 MF # 20 industrial, Perkins Gas, with a MF-32 loader. what do I need to do to replace the Alternator belt? looks like about 1" between the balancer & frame and back of pump. and does the pump shaft need to be unbolted at the balancer to get the belt around it?

Yes, the shaft needs to be unbolted. Then, take the grill off. Unbolt the hydraulic pump and shove the pump forward. This will give you room to put the new belt on. Also, if you take the alternator off, don't have to remove the wires, it will give you more room to get in from that side.
