Awesome! It worked. My tensioner doesn't look like your original tensioner, or the one in the manual. It just goes from 0° to 25°. Maybe they cheaped out on that part. Maybe my dealer will give me a new one or replace it. They told me it is under warranty. 1000 hours or 6 months, something like that. Either way the level of ease it looks to be to replace, I'm happy, i appreciate you taking the time to show it
Another issue I have had on all pullies is the bearing will go bad and the belt will drag across the pully, that is usually a constant noise. Good job on that fix!!
Noo you have to remove the hydraulic pump to change the belt. I was very happy that the new tensioner fixed the squeak. I think the machine has more power now too.
0:29 Please tell your Bobkitten to stop dragging it's claws on the chalkboard... It's EXTREMELY Irritating... 0:35 BAD KITTY! NO CATNIP FOR YOU!!! 1:02 That's IT! One more out of you and I get the Fire Hose out!!!
Why not contact the Bobcat dealer and let them listen to the noise over the phone with an explanation from you re symptoms?? Instead of randomly guessing the issue??
It wasn't a random guess. I saw the belt was a little bit loose and replaced the tensioner. This would explain the squeak and the loss of power. Nailed it.
@@GCFD OK, you had access to the belt. In the case of my clothes dryer, I didn't without uninstalling it. So I recorded the dryer running and fed it back to the repair firm I use. They told me it was crud on the fan motor pulley. So I pulled the appliance out. There was some buildup of lint in clumps on the pulleys which was removed. The squeak was in a carrier bearing b/w the motor driveshaft and the motor pulley. So my tensioner was fine, it would have been a wrong guess. Anyway, glad it worked out.
