53 farmall H I'm trying to change the fan and generator belts. Question is if your sitting on the tractor which way does the fan assembly turn to loosen it? Also does anyone have any tips on breaking those threads free? Once that's done what the best way to change that generator belt? I appreciate any tips! Thank you
 
if you look close at the ring just in front of the large drive belt you should find a small set screw and nut. remove that from the hub. spray that hub and threads up good with your favorite penetrating oil. i have been using deep creep for a while and am pretty satisfied. i did use pb blaster for quite some time, but it stinks bad. if you look around the hub you will see a couple humps. use a brass drift on the hump and a hammer and loosen the hub counter-clockwise. they can be a devil to get loose. you may need to apply a little heat. helps too to wire brush the threai put some anti seize on the threads when re-assembling. if you dont want, or have a hard time getting the hub free, get a power twist fan belt. its a segmented belt that you take links out to get the right length. i recently installed one on my 48 m. works good, just cut the old belt off and thread the new one on.
 
So which way are we looking at this when you say counter clockwise? Are you looking at the tractor standing in front of it?
