Good heavens whatever you do make sure that you screw the screw in with your fingers and THEN tighten the nut with a wrench. I ruined the pulley on my SM a couple weeks ago and it has been living hell. I did the entire procedure, from removing belt to putting new one back on and tightening up, in less than 25 minutes. But a split second mistake has costed me perhaps 60 hours of labor, and I am still not completed with my repair. Involved removing radiator, fan, part of pulley (on M's you can screw the sliding pulley off, you can't do that on an H) put a new pulley on off my OTHER SM (so the hunt for that part continues) and I JB Welded a nut on the pulley because the threads were stripped out, so when I put the bolt on it will be in a nut, tightened with another nut. All it has to do is get me into October. But I have run out of time now. I have a corn picker to pick up, a threshing show to power, and loads to haul when I am custom harvesting. I made sure it will get me by until winter, but if this works as good as I hope it will, I will leave it alone until this belt goes bad, hopefully a long ways off. Good gracious, though, whatever you do, don't be stupid like me. I had someone tell me "Well, that's how you learn." It has been a hard lesson to learn, and I will try my hardest to NEVER let this happen to any one else AGAIN!!!
