How in the world do I tighten the fan belt on my M. I can't figure it out and I have worked on tractors and junk all my life. I can't get the set screw to move and I'm afraid it will break off. Any secrets?

Thanks ya'll

Soak the screw and threads on the hub with penetrant for several days and keep trying. Patience pays a lot here.

I tryed the impact screwdriver on my H yesterday and it broke the screw off at the top but I was able to heat it up and get it loosewith the trusty vise grips. Be carefull I also heated the ring that is under it that turns to tighten it and taped it and it cracked. So I found replacements through AI for thirty bucks. So after you get the screw out you need to turn the outer part of the pulley and it moves the belt up and down the pulley to tighten and loosen it make sure you get the set screw tight after wards or it will tighten on its own when running and give you a problem JON

Did you remove the locknut on the set screw first?
Tap on top of the screw to encourage it, soak it with your favorite rust solvent, and tap some more.
Use a tool called an impact screwdriver to loosen it. This is a screwdriver that you use a hammer to operate it with. Greatest tool for loosening stubborn screws.
Motorcylce & snowmobile mechanics from the 60"s & up swear by it for loosening #3 Phillips head screws hollding aluminum parts together. It also works to tighten a screw. Torx, Allen, & any other 1/4" hex size bit can be used in the tool.
Patience is a great virtue with old, rusty fasteners!!
