[QUOTE="bkonn, post: 11235, member: 1342"] I was able to replace all 3 belts on my 853 in 7 hours, I started with the drive belt and everything was exactley as stated in the posted directions, it took a little over an hour to pull the old belt out replace with the new one, the 9/16th bolt holding the idler was the hardest to get started but with a little prying i finally got it. When I got to the fan belt that was a different story it seems that the spring that puts tension on the pully had become dislodged and was no longer keeping the fan belt tight it took me 3 hours to figure out that i needed to loosen the hex screw holding the pully so that I could re-align the spring into it's proper place. After that everything was a piece of cake. I'm going to check the gear box that runs the fan today and make sure its full of oil. Thanks alot for everyone help. Brian [/QUOTE]
