Hello, I have a Case 1494 tractor that just lost its fan belt. After looking at the tractor it appears that I have to remove the hydraulic pump to install a new belt. Does anyone know if this is true or is there an easier way? I have the service manual but it does not discus this. ty
Got a vague memory of doing similar on something (used to run a 1594), does the drive to the pump have a bolted section or a rubber drive coupling? Seem to recall creating a gap in the drive and squeezing the belt through...
It has a bolted section that appears to be one piece through the hydraulic pump. I have tried to separate but there has been no movement ty
If you poke a light in there and get a photo, it might spark off a better memory
sorry I will do that today when I get home. ty
If it's a V-belt you can replace it with a link belt without removing the pump. Serpentine, no. Joe H
