Ok so next question is what are the stock belt sizes for an A? Also I’m converting to 12 v will I be able to use the stndard belt size? I h e read In all the manuals I have access to Nd not a single one of them lists what the actual belt size is!

If you have a piece of 1/2" diameter rope, then wrap it around both pulleys and mark the place where they overlap. Then lay it out and measure that length. Go to your favorite auto parts store and get a power-rated belt of that size or several close to that size. Find which one fits and return the others to the store. From another forum, I read 26-1/2" for the alternator belt. I'd do the rope measurement first...

Save the pulley from you old generator. If you are using a Delco 10SI or Delco clone alternator the pulley from you old generator should fit. That way you do not have to worry about changing any other pulleys to match the alternator belt size.

Thanks for the tip

The fan belt is 46869D, 25/32 top width by 34-1/8 long. This is for a tractor without a water pump.
The generator belt is 49291D, 17/32 top width by 26-5/16 long. That probably isn't useful for what you are doing.

Of course it’s useful. It give me a place to start. Thank you!

Thanks for the advice. Not sure what you mean by lower rated belt? I always use Kevlar belts on everything I have

You mis-read it. Didn't say "lower rated" I wrote "power-rated" belt. A Kevlar belt is exactly that type of belt.

Ok next question. I put the fan back on the hub and went to re mount the hub to the tractor. It had a flat washer a lock washer and a nut. I put the washer on the shaft and tried to put the lock nut and but in the back but the lock washer won’t fit into the Chanel. And it can’t go on the outside because it throws off the pulley alignment. So do I just have the wrong size lock washer? Is there even supposed to be a lock washer?

[Don McCombs]

Have you checked the parts catalog to see if it calls for one?

[Jim Becker]

Essentially the same as a Cub, no lock washer. And you tighten it by turning the shaft, not the nut.

Yes I did check the parts catalog. It shows the flat washer but no lock washer or nut.

Thank you for that. Also to verify the oil slinger gizmo in there should look like a backwards six looking at it. Correct?

[Jim Becker]

I get tripped up over the frontwards/backwards/upside down six or is it a nine. I'll put it this way, the drawing in parts catalog TC-26F has it backwards.

By the way, the nut is not illustrated in the catalog, but it is listed. It is listed under the part it holds (the fan spindle). It is part number 114498. There is no lock washer listed. It takes a bit of practice to get some information out of the catalogs.

The parts catalog lists a 5/8 jam nut.

Thanks. I didn’t think to look through the parts list for parts not shown in the diagram.
