Serpentine belt conversion kits for tractors?

Hello!
I see that companies are offering pulley and tensioner kits to update older automotive engines (Ford, Chevy, Mopar) using vee belts to newer, serpentine belt systems. Are there any conversion kits like this available for Oliver, White, M-M, IHC, Deere, A-C, M-F, Case, or other brands of tractors? Perhaps older Deere and IHC engines can be updated to serpentine belt systems, but I have not seen this done yet. A serpentine system for an Oliver 1950-T would be nice! Enjoy a safe and Blessed week!

As simple as those tractors are WITHOUT multiple accessories to drive, your questions BEGS the reply of WHY?

The belts are EXPENSIVE compared to a simple "V" belt and there's typically a spring loaded $$$$ tightener involved.

6400 DEERES are one example I've seen of a system that beats the $$$$ tightener to death every thousand hours or so.
 
I can see where they'd be nice on my White 2-135. Especially to run the A/C compressor. They have a narrow little belt that runs it and it tends to want to slip inless you have it WAY tighter than common sense tells you it should be.
 
If you are having that trouble with a JD 6400 then you have something else wrong that is causing the tensioner to fail. My JD 6400 is a 1992 model. Just turned over 14000 hours. I have a 640 loader on it it gets used everyday. Only replaced one belt in all of those hours. Two starters and the trans mission input shaft are the total repairs done to it.
