Picked up the A-37 / 4L390 fan belt mentioned earlier. (Took it back inside for them to recheck it as it didn't look right when I got to the car and sure enough they gave me the wrong one. So took care of that before we got home and discovered the ooops.)
The old belt had been on since --- oh, who knows when. (It may have been on the tractor when I bought it 7 or 8 years ago? Or maybe when we replaced the radiator we put a new one on??) Bolts were a bit of a bear to get loosened on the alternator. BUT ...
Feeling like total idiots here. We finally got the belt in and on and hubby (I am helping) is over on the other side and I'm looking at it going ... "That can't be right ..."
Do you have to drain the radiator and remove the lower hose so it fits inside the fan belt? The way I wrangled it on, the belt coming off the lower pulley lays across /ON the lower radiator hose on its way up to the alternator. As I said ... idiots up here. We had no pictures to go by, and the old belt was in shreds when I cut it off so I didn't think to look at how it went down below.
Help us, Obi Wans.
Thanks.
