[QUOTE="skidsteer.ca, post: 11202, member: 307"] Always help here. Just ask. You may have a 3v or a 4v wide belt depending on serial #, make sure you get the right one. Also check the belt tensioning idler for side play in the bearing. spec is .005“ to .013“ for new bearings. If yours is .025 or more might be a good time to re bearing it. If its NOT the spring loaded self tension one, (you will see what looks like a rewind starter spring on it if it is) lay it on it backside, pop the dust cap off and make sure it is full of oil to the top of the bearings. Calls for 15/50 synthetic motor oil. silicone the dust cap before replacing it. Expect to re tension the belt after 20 hours or so breakin. Also check the oil (80/90 gear ) in the 90 degee gear box that run the fan, lift the cab its in the center behind the operators back. They only hold a cup or so and running it out is spendy. And while you at it make sure the spring loaded belt tension for the fan belt is not frozen. If the fan belts gets loose and slips you will overheat during high engine demand times. This one is easy to overlook. Ken [/QUOTE]
