Drivebelt change on 935i Vermeer.

Firstly remove the housing on the front of the engine and the housing around the pulley wheel on the outside of the cutterwheel housing.

Then, working under the machine, remove the four bolts and plate holding the front engine mount/ slider in place, also removing the corresponding plate from under the engine, which forms the slider for engaging the drive.

Then remove the pins that attach the slider mechanism for the engine, to the engine..

Working at the rear of the engine, having slid it forward as far as fuel and hydraulic hoses allow, (you could disconnect these to allow more movement if necessary, blocking pipes to ensure no dirt ingress of course), remove the ring of 17mm bolts that attach the housing around the v-belts to the block, and undo the two grub screws on the bearing.

You can now slide the whole lot backwards, allowing you to squeeze the belts off around the end of the shaft. Fit new belts, and refitting is a reversal of removal.

Hope it makes sense.

Looks great that Tom, thanks for taking the time to take pics and post up here, sure it will come in handy for someone one day.

 

Just one thing, most of the pics dont work for me.

 

Was the belt totally shot or did you just feel it was time to change it?
