Removing the fan belt on one of these is a little strange. There is a 2 piece pulley on the fan blade. Loosen the set screw and unsrew the pulley until it is as wide as it goes. This should give you enough slack in the belt to roll it off the crank pulley. After that, it's just a matter of wiggling the betl past the fan blade. Just as a precaution, it's a good idea to pull off the coil wire when doing this because you will probably turn the crankshaft and you definately DON'T want the engine to start by accident. As for mounting the alternator, I crammed a 66 amp GM unit between the valve cover and the hood. To keep tension on the belt, I used an idler pulley. It works very well. I have also seen brackets fabricated to mount the alternator to the goveroner housing on the other side of the engine. The alternator is not under the hood, but unless the tractor will be out in the weather a lot, this may be a good choice. Ed
