Fan belt Replacement

I'm trying to get the fan belt off my TD-14A. I can't find a video that includes getting the hydraulic pump out of the way. I have it off & want to know if the gear between it and the crankshaft just pulls out to allow the fan belt to be removed or do I have to remove the five nuts holding it to the main pulley to allow it to move forward.

Also, how many quarts (gallons) of fluid is needed to fill the reservoir
 
I've done one IH and that was a long time ago. If I remember correctly you need to take the drive plate loose from the front of the crank to get the belt in.

One other option is to get one of the twist together belts and make your own. I just put one on a Harlo lift where there was no way to change the belt without draining the hydraulic system, removing the pump, etc, etc. The twist together belt carries the same HP rating as it's continuous counterpart, and will go on without having to remove anything.

I ran into a similar issue with another tractor a few weeks after the Harlo. One the drive shaft to the pump would not screw out, and two, we had never been able to get a belt the right length for the modified charging system (alt -vs- gen) due the adjustment amount being severely reduced by a part of the frame for an attachment. So I got another twist lock for that machine. Not only did I not have to take the drive shaft to the pump loose, I was actually able to get the belt tight, like it should be, because I was able to run everything in, and put the belt together in place to the optimal length.

Below is a link to Fenner's site showing the belting I am talking about.

Thank you for the info! I'd briefly heard about these belts but couldn't look them up. I may be beyond that application as I have the belt in the mail & have headed towards changing it out including losing all of the hydraulic fluid. How did you figure out which belt fit your application?
 
There are standard size belts in regard the width, profile, etc. These sizes are A, B, C, 3L, 4V, and so on.

Once you know the correct profile all you need to do is buy a length of the twist lock belt long enough to make a belt as long as you need.

See below for a link to a site showing all of the different profiles, etc along with their dimensions.

Thanks for the info---I have it marked for future reference. I bet I'll think to use it before I dump $60+ worth of fluid on the ground again.
