Ferguson pto rake

[robroy]

Does anyone know the part# or size for the drive belt on a ferguson pto driven hay rake. It is the 3 point model. I think it might be a DE020 or DE025. I did get a different belt from the local auto parts store. 5/8 x 96 now to figure out how to get it on. The pto end is easy but the end by the big pulley is what I'm not sure about. Do I take the big pulley off and then unbolt the center to feed the belt thru?

The size depends on the model number. Here are two pages from the parts book, also available on Agco parts website.

Do you how to feed the belt thru by the big pulley? I've got an idea but specifics would be nice. Thanks ever so much.

It has been a number of years since I did this, but if I recall correctly each one of the bars needs to unbolted from the spokes of the big wheel. I did it one bar at a time. It is a good opportunity to check the bearings, etc. for the bars.
It was a great rake, but the mount and dismount was too time consuming. Sold it and switched to a ground drive New Idea rake.
When I used it, it was with a MF165 with live PTO and I ran it on ground speed.
