WARNING
- Make sure the engine is off and cool to avoid any injuries.
1. Locate the Fan Belt:
- The fan belt is located on the front of the engine, near the radiator.
2. Loosen the Belt Tensioner:
- Locate the belt tensioner, which is usually a bolt or lever that controls the tension of the fan belt.
- Loosen the tensioner to create slack in the belt, allowing you to remove the old belt.
3. Remove the Old Belt:
- Once the tensioner is loose, you can remove the old fan belt by slipping it off the pulleys.
4. Position the New Belt:
- Place the new fan belt around the pulleys, ensuring it is routed correctly according to the engine diagram or manual.
5. Tighten the Belt Tensioner:
- Re-tighten the belt tensioner to the specified tension as per the manufacturer's recommendations.
- This will ensure that the belt is properly tensioned and will not slip or come off.
6. Check the Alignment:
- After installing the new belt, visually inspect it to make sure it is correctly aligned with the pulleys and is not rubbing against any other components.
7. Start the Engine and Test:
- Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes to observe the performance of the fan belt.
- Listen for any unusual noises or vibrations that could indicate a problem with the belt installation.
Remember to refer to your Massey Ferguson 1135 service manual for specific instructions and torque specifications related to belt replacement. If you are not comfortable performing this task, it is recommended to seek assistance from a qualified mechanic to ensure proper installation.
