Side of road again. Need a fan belt (size?)

Scott & Heather · October 30, 2016, 09:46:56 AM

Just threw my fan belt. Haven't even made it to Tucson yet lol! Just past Wilcox AZ. My fan belt came apart and I didn't have a spare (I used my spare already on the last bus). Is it a C120? Trying to find a napa somewhere here that has one. Old one is shredded pretty bad.

Scott might still be a number on the flat side of the belt.

Nothing Dave. It's pretty worn out.

Find you a mill supply or a mining supply place I doubt you find one at auto store or have MCI ship one to WW William which is a MCI service center,back to Tuscon for you

Tom Vassioni might be able to get the number off his for you he has same bus and engine. Mine is CX109 but mine is for a6V71 so probably not the same.

East or West Thomas in Phoenix ?

Scott & Heather · October 30, 2016, 11:12:20 AM

OK so we are on our way to Napa in Phoenix to pick up the only belt in town. How do I really tighten the belt down in terms of checking the tension. Is it just 1 inch of deflection to either side? My tensioner is a turnbuckle I remove the air tensioner long ago I like the turnbuckle better. I just wanted to make sure I got the tension correct is it even possible to over tighten the belt?
