Pulleys Squealing?

[hogjowl]

In regards to belts, I can't recollect any of my 22 truck mounts ever being a joyous procedure in maintaining or replacing of them..

If I could do it over again I would get one of these coupler designs that can be changed out in a matter of minutes and just do it once a year or be ready to do so if and when it fails on site

I’m still waiting on reliable feedback on those Sammy Sales units.

Just one of the good reasons to come to the next Mikey's Fest..

The only area where belts are mentioned is routine maintenance checklists where it says the check the water pump belt for wear, and then replace the water pump belt every 300 hours, and to check the blower belt for wear. No how-to's on anything for either of the belts. I sense that they think I know how, or can bring it to someone who does.

I'll do some more searching for video assistance later today, but if I can't find anything I'll just have to go for it and hope I don't make things worse in the process.

300 hours seems to not be very long for pump belts???? The one i have on frankinstien has been on since new 2.5years and just over 1,300 hours . With my blower, i tried 3 different belts just to see how long they would last, standard v belts 110 hours , kevlar belt 11hours, cogged belts 1,231 so far and still in good shape inspected every 100 hours. I don't know much about the geared belt driving your blower but there should be away to adjust them. All the blowers ive had run v belts. Im going down to see my supplier today(yes sunday) and drop off my rx20 nexgen gearbox. The small pinion gear snappedinhalf( hopefully he can badger hydramaster into repairing or replacing it)hes a close friend and has installed/ and works on hydramaster's for many years ill ask about your blower belt and let you know what he says

That sure did snap off. About my blower, someone told me that removing the pulley is how to remove the belt, and that somehow the pulley can be adjusted for tension and alignment once it is off. Replacing the belt by removing the pulley seems like the path of least resistance. It is a taper fit pulley with a split collar, I think that will be easy enough. I am looking for a manual for my blower as I'm sure it would say something about adjusting it for tension and alignment it. My blower is a Tuthill 4007-22R3-7963 model. Interlink shows it as the Tuthill 4007x blower on their site. The only dang manual I can find is for a Tuthill CP series 4007 blower, which is blue (mine is black), has only 1 shaft (mine has 2 shafts), and seems too different. The Hydramaster CDS 4.8 manual says they send people a CD that is the appropriate Tuthill 4007 manual when they purchase the machine. Coming up dry everywhere I am looking for it...

Sorry, yesterday i forgot to ask my friend about your blower belt . I gave him a call this morning. He said that there is a mini driveshaft that drives the blower, it runs underneath it. There is a pillow block under each side held down by 2 bolts each. You loosen the 4 bolts and move the shaft to adjust the belts. There's not alot of adjustment and generally when the belt starts making noise he replaces it with a new one then adjusts it. Hope this makes sense and helps

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe your blower is CP base model, but with some different variances. In one of my units I a Tuthill 4007 22r3 5874. I believe I have a manual someplace. I'll look tonight when I get home.
