Belt change on a 3000 series with a 730 loader

Truno223 · Oct 6, 2017

Not to be that guy, but what's the easiest way to perform a belt change on a 3000 series tractor with a 730 loader? Will I have enough room if I just unbolt the crankshaft side?

Thank you,
Steve

I attempted and wasn't able to do it. I figured that a segmented belt was the answer.

I had to remove the hydraulic pump on mine. My water pump had gone bad so I replaced the belt, thermostat, both hoses and the radiator
cap at the same time I replaced the pump. I got all of the parts from YT except the belt. It had 2 choices so I got it from NAPA. The
lower radiator hose was a fits all, sorta fit, will fit, didn't fit so I got another one from just 8ns if I remember right.

I removed the coupler bolts and the pump bolts. Used a pry bar to spread them enough to get the belt through. Hardest part was the fan shroud so I cut a little notch in it to make it easier to get the belt over the fan blades. To about 45 minutes since my pump was covered in filth that needed scrapped off.

Just saw how open yours is. I couldn't get to the crank shaft bolts so I undid it at the coupler, might be able to just undo the pump and pry the shaft out carefully.
