4. Disconnect the PTO clutch wire harness.

5. Loosen and remove the crankshaft bolt (A, Figure 50) and the PTO clutch (B) from the engine crankshaft.

6. Loosen the inner jam nut (A, Figure 51) on the idler arm stabilizer.

7. Loosen the nut (B) on the spring anchor eyebolt

 

 

 

 

 

 

(C) to release the majority of the belt tension. Use
