FP82-A front PTO vs fan belt question

[lloydd]

Hello all,

My 1985 B8200DT gear tractor has the FP82-A front PTO (belts & pulleys) setup to run the RCB 60-I belly mower. I have the parts manual for the mower that shows the diagram of the engine driven pulley and how it attaches.

I'd like to replace the old fan belt. What is the best way to get the engine driven pulley out of the way?

thanks,

Hello all,

I figured it out. Kubota puts not just one flex plate in but two for the engine pulley shaft. I pulled the dual pully bearing pillow block forward and off after soaking the splined shafts between the two flex plates.

thanks,
Doug
