Pull battery. Loosen tensioner holder bar (2 x 9/16 bolts), and remove bolt (5" long?) from end of spring. Replace belt, run bolt clear down, that's all the tension the drive belt gets. When the belt has a few minutes on it, snug the tensioner stop snug up against the tensioner. Pretty simple.</li> </ul>Per your pix, you should have a "follower" or tensioner holder bar that will hold the tensioner in place.  Haven't done this for a few years, so I can't add much to my notes.  I did have trouble getting the correct length belt from the Bobcat dealer, evidently there are a couple of choices.  I think the part number must have been visible on my old belt.  There are several parts associated with the fan belt.  Holler if you need some help with those, I have part numbers, etc.  Other questions?     <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />  ---Bobbie-G</blockquote>
