John Deere 855 Fan Belt

[DudeJohnDeere]

I have a 1992 John Deere 855 and the fan belt has not been replaced since I bought it. When I serviced it this year, I noticed that the fan belt felt like it was about ready to break, so I went out to the dealer and purchased a fan belt. Then, when I finished servicing it, I decided I would start trying to change the belt. Then I noticed that you can not get the belt off/on without taking the fan off. Just wondering if anyone knows how to change the belt. Thanks.

Shouldn't be any different than my 955, the belt must be fed between the fan & shroud. It's tight, but can be done.

Thank you. That will help a lot.

Find a spot where the belt will go between the fan tip and shroud. Then rotate the fan and pull it out one blade at the time in that spot.

Thanks. I will try that. I just couldn't figure out how to get it out. That will really help.
