thanks for the responses and for the diagram! someone i think had posted the service manual as a download a while back and i had the link but it no long works and i unfortunately did not print it at the time :( any suggestions for type of oil? i believe i read any 10w30 oil works? does it need...
thanks, went out tonight with a crobar and forced the alternator down and had enough to get the belt on without having to loosen that back bolt... now i have to somehow get to it with a vehicle or a lot of extension cord to jump it... and we have a foot and a half of snow down, joy
i cant seem to get to the back bolt on the alternator so i can slide it down to put the belt on... anyone know how to access that back bolt on the alternator? Thanks
i also have an 873 and need to put an alternator belt on and cant get to one of the bolts on the back side of the alternator. if anyone has the manual or if know you know how to loosen it that would be great help. Thanks!!
