V-Beltssssssssssss from

Oh my, I have a customer that leased 2 H45D-600-04 units. No one can seem to keep these units on the line for very long. So they called the old salt ( Me ) to see if anything can be done to keep these units running. The first thing I found was there has been minimal maintainance on these units ( oil changes only ). With 5000 plus hours on each unit they were faaling apart. I started to update all the normal wear items such as, the V-Beltssssssssssssss. These units have A/C so I had 2 belts to change. Normally v-belts are quick and easy, except for these. They have A/C compressor, inclosed engine fan and skid plate. To access the v-belts and properly install new belts I removed the radiator covers to access the engine fan, removed the engine fan, removed the alternator to access the crank sheave, removed the A/C compressor to remove and install the A/C compressor belt because the compressor clutch/sheave sets to close to the frame. After the belts were installed I proceded with the other normal maintainance which went pretty smooth in comparison to the v-belt replacment. Now the Linde's breakdown about once every to weeks instead of daily. Any pointers on belt replacment would be helpful. Thanks

The black box flight recorder was invented by Australian scientist David Warren in the mid-1950s. While initially met with indifference in Australia, his invention gained international recognition, particularly in the UK, and is now a mandatory piece of safety equipment on all commercial aircraft.
