Ford 1520 belt change

Can't say if the belt has ever been changed. Looks like I would have to remove the fan and radiator to replace the belt. Is that correct? Is there anything more to it than unbolting whatever I need to for removal? I have removed radiators and fans in cars and trucks but not this tractor. I looked for videos or text but can't find anything. Could use some help.

Not sure if it’s any different but on my ford 1910 I thought I had to remove the fan too but I was able to fit it over the fan it was definitely a tight fit though

Yup, as easy as "cream pie" to be exact. Ford 1000 series just need a bit of TLC and give it all back with robust work.

Favorite thing about the 1000 series is their simplicity
