Well, it took me about an hour, and a second trip to the auto parts place, but I'm pleased to say that I got the fan belt changed out and everything appears to be working properly -- no overheating, no charge lamp, no more hard time engaging the PTO. I just finished cutting the field, and she handled it like a champ.

It took me a little more effort because I couldn't get the belt around the alternator, even when it was rotated up as far as it would go. Probably I just don't know the secret, but taking the bracket the alternator is connected to off let me move the alternator a touch closer, and it was a piece of cake then.

Thanks for all the help, guys, and thanks especially to Eddie and Brent for offering to come help in person. :)

Eddie - if you want to PM me and tell me what your XP problem is, I can try to help you. I'm a software guy, and not so much an operating system techie, but I'll be glad to give it a shot. :)

I'm going to ressurect this older discussion. I found it helpful and may provide a solution for my issue. My charging light (battery) stays on until I get rpms up to above 1500rpm, then it will go out. I noticed that my fan belt is stretched out and has about an inch of play (twice what it should be). All the adjustment with the alternator is gone.

Fredster, you're saying you had the same charging light and a new / tighter belt solved it?

Last question, would the "A39" be the same belt used on my YMG2000D? I ask, because I can't size from the current belt.

A33 on the YMG2000D.

A lot of times the size of the belt is stamped into the outer side of the belt, or stamped on it with ink. Take a look at it when you get it off, in case somebody rerouted a belt for some strange reason. I had a friend who wanted his alternator to run a little faster at idle, so he changed out the pulley on the crankshaft to a larger on. The original belts no longer worked.

good idea, but I suspect I don't have the correct belt right now. The slack with the alternator adjustment is all the way out and the belt still has an inch of slack. I don't think the stretch that much. the previous owner probably put on too big of a belt.
