Questions about the belts on my deuce

[Lonesome715]

When I got this truck there were no belts on the accessory drives. Can some one tell me how they are routed and if there are part numbers I can take to a local parts store to cross refference?

I would try it like this first... Mine are not as neat as DH's but I call it the, "College Try" or "Good Enough for Government Work"

I will have to dig for the napa numbers.

That was very helpfull! I think I got a good enough view of how the belts go on. I did not know about that wrench either. I wonder where I can get one.

There is a fellow SS member who sells them in the classifieds. You need the front and rear wrench.

There are two? Can you tell me his name?

There are two? Can you tell me his name?

Just search the classifieds for wrench.

 

[Heavysteven]

Comdiver or Condiver I think is his name.

Be sure to get the second wrench! As the belt tightens, it will just want to rotate the compressor. Comdriver's companion wrench is a good match and is easy to handle.

Thanks, I will see if I can find him.

I was thinking a fan clutch wrench might fit the back side. I have an assorment of them.

There used to be a parts cross reference in resources section, but it has disappeared.
There is this list with NAPA #s
M44-Series Truck Parts Cross-Reference » Mark's Green Pages

Thanks man!

the listed alternator belt NAPA Premium 25-9746 is wrong. it should be NAPA Premium 25-9476.

 

[Lonesome715]

Thanks, I was heading down there tomorrow to get them.

The alternator belt # i found on the old cross reference list here was 25-9465..... i acutally just ordered a set. I'm not sure what p/n's are correct, I haven't recieved them yet to put them on! As far as the wrench.. I made one a while back with a cad drawing that was posted on here somewhere. It was to scale; I scribed it onto some 1/8" steel and used a plasma cutter to cut the center of the wrench out. After grinding and cleaning it up, I welded two pieces of flat stock to the handle portion of the plate. Just an idea rather than spending money.... that's if you have the resources to make it!

 

[Lonesome715]

I was thinking about making a set myself. I triad a fan cluthc wrench for the back side and it worked. I did not have the front side installed at the time but I think I may have one that will work for that as well.
