Shuboxlover 478 #1 Posted February 29, 2016 Well, I finally got around to putting the loader on my D-160 this weekend. Everything went great until I went to hook up the pump. First....does anyone have the part number for the belt? Second, it appears I am missing some parts for what I presume is the belt tensioner. Does anyone have pics on what is supposed to go here? And also any leads to where to get the stuff. Thanks 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,654 #2 Posted February 29, 2016 Your set up looks similar but not the same as my WH (ARC loader) What model is yours Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,654 #3 Posted February 29, 2016 Gates need to improve the quality of the ink they use to mark their green belts Can't read the number on mine anymore. Seems to me I had to try a couple different sizes before I got the right one. My adjustment is done with a 3 in lg 3/8NC bolt with a nylock nut up through the bottom plate to the arm the pump is on. (Yours has a big rust spot around the hole). Yours looks like you could use a j bolt through the pump mount arm down and out through that hole. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shuboxlover 478 #4 Posted March 3, 2016 Can someone maybe get me a pic of this? I'm thinking of a bolt with a knob out the bottom, a threaded trunion in the adjustment hole...any thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shuboxlover 478 #6 Posted March 3, 2016 PERFECT. ..THANK YOU! !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
82Caddy 851 #7 Posted March 4, 2016 So mine is similar to yours but not quite the same. I'm not sure if mine has been modified or what happened to it. There is just a bolt with two nuts on it that is used to tension the pump. Pivots on one side with a slot on the other that keeps the pump aligned. Hope that helps.

Shuboxlover 478 #8 Posted March 28, 2016 OK, I have the tensioner portion figured out, now....2 questions.... ARK model# 7-3050 1) Does anyone have a manual for this thing 2) What size belt do I need Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,654 #9 Posted March 29, 2016 My belt is I am pretty sure (the ink is really faint) Gates 6845. Now mine is on a D200 I do not know if the PTO Pulleys on the D160s (especially Onans with electric PTOs are the same Incidentally are you into early Ford Broncos??
