I haven't had to do this yet but I've heard that some guys put a second belt in place around the shaft and tie it out of the way so that when the first belt quits there is another one easier to install. My hydraulic pump is off and I will set up two belts when I get to that stage. These old tractors were very primitive and better ideas weren't used yet. They are half way from a farm tractor of yesterday to a modern machine that incorporates better designs.
I have a forklift version 580CK. Which means I have a huge counterweight in front of the pump. Going to be interesting as I'm not sure my loader can muscle the counterweight off of the frame.
No they don't make the serpentine belt one just the v belt I started making them for this reason so you didn't have to go through all this crap tearing the machine completely apart the front end
I had a belt fail on the alternator. Put in a link belt which was super easy and I haven't touched it in years. The link belt is even better because they are very stretchy and there isn't much adjustment with the alternator installed ( conversion from original generator )
@@GRTRanchadventures why don't you try it before you make smart ass comments and prove I'm wrong and make your self look like a dumbass. Use round bugging cords not the flat black ones hook um end to end using mechanics wire after you get them around the pulls. Poke wire thre rhe ends and wrap it then put a couple zip ties around it all to keep it from coming undone then use a little super glue to hold it all in place.. and be sure to let me no your results pal🤡

Dang I wish I had thought of putting a second one in there when I did this if I ever do it again I for sure will thanks

So, how many inches is the belt?
Is that a super e hydraulic pump? Looks way bigger than a b pump
Probably a trick of the camera it's a 580b for sure
I PUT ON A QUALITY LINK BELT 9 YEARS AGO 5 MINUTE JOB STILL WORKS
I put a Accu belt on mine didn't have to go through all that took me about 15 minutes to put it on
Was that a v belt or serpentine ? Do they make a serpentine accubelt?
No they don't make the serpentine belt one just the v belt I started making them for this reason so you didn't have to go through all this crap tearing the machine completely apart the front end
@@nrth-ng9sm did it work as a serpentine? Or is yours a v belt
580b. Vee belt. Link-belt to the rescue my pump was seized in place and has a link belt on it for years

I just zip tied some bunji cords end to end and used them as a belt works good took about 15 min
