F2 Gleaner drive belt vibration

pea_grower · May 15, 2012

Getting the F2 variable drive ready for wheat. Looking for operator comfort, so I replaced the AC compressor. When the clutch has the AC compressor engaged, the double v drive belt off the engine sure seems to have a lot more vibration. Is that normal or is it a problem?

If its a problem I've got it too.

Did you try tightening the double v belt tightener?

haven't tightened the v belt yet. does the AC compressor belt have to be super tight? is there supposed to be an idler on the AC compressor belt. having a hard time keeping the belt tight. any tricks?

Yes, the compressor belt needs to be TIGHT. I don't recall any idler.

There's no idler on the ac mine is very
tight, it will vibrate alot at idle but runs
smooth at full speed.

Right- no idler on the AC drive belt. Just slotted mounting holes under the compressor.
