I have a 41 WC that I want to restore to origional no electrical system. What was used to tension the fan belt in that configuration? I removed the alternator and would like to replace it with an idler.
Is it possible that this tractor was never available without an electrical system?

Franko, and Doug, you need to go and get the right length belt. Your AGCO dealer should have these belts in stock.

If you go to web site www.iupui.edu/~harrold/ac/wc.html
This is a copy of the complete Operating, Maintenance, and Repair Manual for the Allis WC.
Click on Maintenance and then Fan Belt Adjustment Page 21 , and it describes how to adjust the sheaves to tighten the belt.I printed this manual off ( 1 page at a time ) for easy reference.

I have the same question but only in regards to a 1938 B. It has no starter or lights but someone has mounted a generator on the tractor. The generator is not hooked up but works as a fan belt idler. Any information on how they kept the tension on the fan belt originally would be appreciated.

There was no idler pully on either tractor. The water pump pully should be made in two pieces. The v belt was tensioned by adjusting the width of the water pump pully V. It adjusted by loosening the screws and rotating the pully halves, changing the width of the V. Most of the ones I have run across are rusted solid and can't be adjusted anymore. I have found a couple that were welded and can't be adjusted. I managed to free up most of mine but it was a long process.
