Motor generator brace bolt3. Motor generator belt

Replace the motor-generator belt when it becomes badly worn. To remove the old belt, loosen the motor-generator brace bolt and mounting bolts. Move the generator in toward the engine and slip the old belt off the pulleys and over the crank- shaft. I nstall the new belt in the reverse order of removal and adjust the belt to the proper tension.

NOTE: If tractor is equil with rotary mower I drive belt must also be removed when replacing generator belt.

NOTE: Never place a jumper lead between, or accidentally bridge, the "BAT" terminal and the "F" terminal on the regulator, as this will damage the regu lator.

LIGHTS

Lights are optional on all models except the Models 149 and 169.

The headlights are sealed-beam units. Refer to

"SPECIFICATIONS" when replacement is neces-

sary.

To replace the taillight lamp, remove the lens from

the taillight and r~place. Refer to "SPECIFICA-TIONS",

FUSE (Electric Lighting)

Always use the same capacity fuse for replacement. Refer to "Specifications". If the lights fail, check the fuse.

The fuse is located in a fuse housing in the line at the back of the instrument panel.

To install a new fuse, press in on the fuse housing cap and turn counterclockwise to remove it from the fuse housing. Remove the old fuse and replace it with a new one. Then reassemble the cap to the housing. Remove the fuel tank if necessary to reach the fuse.

Before working on any part of the electrical system, disconnect the battery ground cable at the battery negative (-) terminal. Do not reconnect this cable until all work has been completed. This will prevent shorting and damage to any of the electrical units. Examine the electrical cables occa- sionally to be sure they are not being frayed by contact with adjacent parts.
