Clutch Belt Removal

1.Park the tractor on a smooth, level surface such as a concrete floor. Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake, turn off the engine, and remove the ignition key.

2.Release the hood latch and raise the hood until it locks in place.

3.Remove the rear belt shield.

4.Remove the 5/16” bolt, washer and nut (C, Figure 49) that fasten the rubber pad to the clutch and unscrew the wire ends that connect the clutch to the electrical harness.

5.Using a 1/2” breaker bar, place the square end in the square hole located in the middle of the idler arm (A). Carefully rotate the breaker bar CLOCKWISE, which will relieve the tension on the belts exerted from the idler arm.

WARNING

Use extreme caution when rotating the idler arm with the breaker bar, due to the increased tension in the spring as the idler arm is being rotated. Injury may result if the breaker bar is prematurely released while the spring is under tension.

6.Remove the belts from the gearbox drive pulley

(D).

7.Carefully release the tension on the breaker bar until the idler arm stops.

8.Remove the clutch belts from the clutch pulley grooves and pull around the idler pulley.

Clutch Belt Replacement

1.Install the clutch belts over the top of the clutch, into the grooves of the crankshaft pulley and around the idler pulley.

2.Carefully rotate the idler arm with the breaker bar CLOCKWISE (see Figure 49) and install the belts into the grooves of the gearbox drive pulley.

3.Carefully release the tension on the breaker bar.

4.Reinstall the clutch anchor pad to the clutch with the hardware (C) previously removed. Make sure the hardware is in the same order as is was before being removed.

5.Reinstall the rear belt shield and lower the hood. Make sure the hood is firmly latched.
