How to put belts on AC IV - D17

I am looking for help on putting the alternator and power steering belts on a D17 that we still use on the farm. I have the belts, but getting them on has me in a conundrum.

Any help would be great!

Where are you having an issue? Both the alternator & power steering pump right above it have adjustable brackets for you to loosen to get the belts on. You have to first drape the belts around the back side of the fan then work them between the crank pulley and the front casting. That's the hard part. Your Series IV should have a 5 blade offset fan that you can turn to one of the larger openings to get to the front pulley to work the fan belt down around the crank pulley. You might need a flat blade screwdriver to help push them down and around. Come back and post if you have more questions or to let us know if you got 'er done! Mike
